I thought the officiating in the semis and final was first rate.
Why can't Noeth be that good when he's in our building?
Unless Lowell skates a lot better than they did on their last
visit here -- admittedly three seasons ago -- they might want
to think twice before calling themselves "Lightning".  I also
believe that some more respectful native American name might be found,
one that relates to northeastern Massachusetts.  To have a high
quality small engine named Tecumseh, a good car called Pontiac,
an NHL team named after a great chief are all positive statements.
A native American theme, per se, is not out of bounds in my view;
Chief Knockahoma strikes me as grossly offensive, "Lowell Chiefs"
as less so, but still on the wrong side in terms of courtesy and
respect.
