Well, I was sitting directly in front of the play, with the glass between me and the play of course, and to tell you the truth, I don't know if the whistle blew before or after. But, if he did blow the whistle before, we've got a lot to complain about (Other than the 0 for 16 PP and Mrozik out for the year and, well, I could go on and on (6 goals a game given up, argh!)). But like I said I don't know. The first thing I saw after the goal was Butt, er Buzz coming in waving it off, and it seemed like it was right away, but who knows? Tony Frolik Beat the Seawolves! (please?)
