The cheer "Hockey East is fixed!! Hockey Easy is fixed!!" is quite frequently heard when BU gets a questionable call in its favor at a crucial point in a game. It almost seems to me that some refs are intimidated by him - sort of like Don Shula in the NFL. A close friend of mine who is also a college hockey fanatic is a big Harvard fan (he's also a Harvard alum). His freshman year he got front row tickets to The Beanpot against BU. Needless to say, he was quite pumped to see the game. Turns out, his front row seats were right behind the BU bench and he couldnt see the game - spent the whole 60 minutes looking at the back of Jackie Parker's head! To this day he can't stand the man! At least my reasoning's a bit more rationale, no? ************************************************************************** Steve Weisfeldt Go Chiefs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
