Congrats to the Lakers! Made all CCHA fans proud. I was not fortunate enough to make it to Detroit, Providence, or Albany. I found it quite interesting reviewing all the notes about the officiating. But having watched the game on ESPN last night, I can certainly understand all the complaints. To put it bluntly, the officiating sucked. I'm sure Mike or somebody will post a box score or has tallied all the penalties called, but it was crazy. Probably the worst call was on MacDonald(sp?) for slashing. Please. And to top it off with a misconduct for arguing an obvious boner call. From which league does that esteemed ref hail? And how many 5-3s did the Lakers have? My head was spinning and I lost count. Now before all the 'Cheesheads' :^) start clamoring, I'll say that inspite the officiating, it was a good game. Very exciting. It was pretty hairy there with Wisconsin up 2-0. But I was happy with the results. And to think that the ESPN announcers predicted a final score of 9-8. I guess we know why they don't show hockey anymore.
