If there is indeed bad blood between Maine and HE now and if (a big IF) HE
sees a BU win in the first round as a temporary relief from this
situation, I hope this doesn't affect officiating in these games.  How
much control does a league have on the officials?  What is going to
happen if there are a few "seemingly" bad calls against Maine during
these games, regardless of the winner of the series?
