You are not alone!  The crowd at the BU student union definitely agreed.
 
There were a few dozen people screaming and making kicking motions at the
the TV after the goal, and
especially after the replay (you know, the way all sports fans think that
if they yell at the TV loud enough that the ref will hear them and change
the call).
 
To all of our surprise and dismay, no one at the Fleet Center seemed to
notice:  the refs, the announcers, the players.  That was the real
shocker.  I didn't notice Noble or the BU defensmen chasing the refs
across the ice to plead their case.  And you have to figure they had a
better view than the TV audience.  Since Dillbough was given credit
for the goal, the ruling could not have been that the puck was kicked in
by the defensemen; Dillbough must have played it somehow.  Seeing that the
stick was NOT on the ice does leave me suspicious however.
 
I also agree that this was not the reason BU lost.  The defense got
beaten.  Noble looked shakey (esp on PC's 2nd goal) and the offense only
turned it up on occassion.  BU still hasn't realized that it cannot count
on a 10 minute surge to win otherwise lackluster games. At this time of the
year, it takes 60 minutes.  When they play 60, they win.
