Whatever since I read all over USCHO.COM and INCH the Officating was less
than stellar in the Manchester Regional.
From INCH:
The officiating in the first period — and during stages later in the game —
was wildly inconsistent. Referee Derek Shepherd missed a couple of blatant
calls and wound up whistling some makeup calls afterward. Shepherd is a
highly-regarded official in the college hockey world. He called last week's
WCHA Final Five championship and also reffed last year's Maine-Michigan
State regional championship matchup. He also called the 2004 Frozen Four
game between Maine and Boston College, when he apparently missed another
call –

So there you have it.

Why should we believe or even read that here?  If we're going to smear
someone's reputation, can't we do it in more specific terms and if not
with 1st hand information, a reference that can help us evaluate the
opinion, please?

See you in St. Louis
