Who else who saw the Maine/BU final last night thought the officiating
was just terrible? Frank Cole was blind! There was a nasty hook early
on in the first, and each time there was a penalty, Cole insisted on
offsetting minors.
And then, of course, there was the play that made the lowlight film:
BU's Ahola completely took out Maine's Jean-Yves Roy with a hook
to the NECK. Maine coach Shawn Walsh apparently said something
to the effect that everyone in the Garden except for Cole saw it.
NESN got a great shot of Walsh demonstrating the offense by putting
a stick to his neck. From my vantage point (in section 79 -- balcony)
I thought he was going to toss the stick on the ice.
We chanted "CHEAP ... CHEAP ..." of course.
I have seen Cole twice before this season, once with Maine at Lowell and
once in a non-league game up in Orono, and both times, he seemed quite
fair, although very tight, calling more penalties than, say, McBride :-)
But this was, I thought, his worst performance.
