I apologize in advance, but I vehemently disagree with the Bob Norton
comment.  As with 99% of the games, I do not blame officials, nor do try to
get on the announcers back about comments they periodically make.  After
all, they are there to add a little character and flavor to the game.
However, Bob Norton constantly makes me wretch.  Only a few years back he
labored on and on about Maine and their violations and the disgusting status
of the program in general.  I can quote you game comments later if
necessary.  Last night, Norton came across as Shawn's buddy.  Basically, I'd
trust or believe this guy about as far as I could throw him, which isn't too
far.  Yes, he does know the kids' background, but he is a pro-UNH,
Maine-hater from way back.  Don't let his two face appearance last night
fool you.
