It always does, no matter how good it is.

I don't agree with this at all.  The Parmentier hook (and even the
proceeding calls, against each team) were not calls I'd make, were I an
official, but a *lot* was let go on both sides and stuff was called on
both sides.  That said, I, and the more knowledgable people with me,
immediately categorized the Parmentier penalty call as "horrible".  Give
the UNH player a 9.0 on the Shermerhorn scale for a good dive.
 
Speaking of Jason Krog, is it my imagination, or are the HEA refs giving
him extra latitude due to his "star" status?  Just like our Chris Imes
rarely was called for holding (it was an art form for him), Krog seems
to be a little special when it comes to getting penalties called on or
against him.  Amazing that his two-handed slash "WHOMPED" throughout the
Alfond ...  and was ignored by the referee.
