        I tell you what the officating last night was terrible. The
Schmidt boys can't ref worth a crap. Randy Schmidt is worthless not only
does he ref in the WCHA his worthless game calling is prevelant in the USHL
also. They miss calls (all three of the blind mice) and let plays that
should be called go undetected then they call some weak elbowing call that has nothing to do with
the play moving up the ice. On top of calling a really poor game last
night they called off two goals the first one was definately a goal but
the second one was questionable. The WCHA officals think everyone payed
big money to watch them call an exibition in officating and face-offs.
