Well, I've seen Ammian ref here too and he calls a ton of penalties. Always
has. I remember one game where 15 (non-scrum related) penalties were called;
14 of them were called by Ammian. He is a good AHL linesman but as an
ECAC ref...

Well, they aren't that talented in speed or stickhandling so they have
to play a physical style to have any success. Maybe you don't like it
but it's helped them recover from a horrendous start to finish 9th. It
also helped them to wins over the likes of UVM, Clarkson and RPI.

Tip of the week for anyone going to Placid: Don't stay in the village.
I heard almost all of the rooms are booked and the ones left are
prohibitively expensive. Try and stay in a motel in nearby (~5 miles) Saranac
Lake or some little town you pass thru and is near Placid on your way up.
>SEE YOU IN LAKE PLACID!!!
You got it.
