This is right on!  When I see Drew Taylor and Frank Cole come onto the ice
you know you will see a well officiated game for the most part.  Sure they
are human and make mistakes, but they are consistent.

Maybe Hockey East fans should come up with our own award for these two.
Last two games I've seen McBride in he's been paired with Bennedetto.  I'm
not sure who Fowkes has been paired with.  I wonder if they have been so bad
they were disiplined??  Maine fans certainly know who they are, in warm-ups
he was booed Sunday before he even had his warm-up jacket off.
 
I couldn't believe how much of a beer gut McBride has.  They were nicknaming
him McPig in other sections of the arena!
