I was very amused by Dr. Silber between periods. I think it is safe to say that most people consider the guy a total jerk. Alita Haytayan is the reporter who handled herself very well under the circumstances. She proved herself a true professional. And Bertagna's comment had me fall off my chair laughing. In contrast, NU's president (forgot his name) was a very gracious guest between 2 periods, especially considering his team was down 11-3 at the time! I too was surprised by all the calls early on. I have to admit (biased BU glasses on) that I had no idea why 2 penalties were called after the 1st. NU goal. The first one was called before the goal, but I never saw the second and none of the replays could find anything worthy of a call after the goal. And they certainly had enough cameras. I was also surprised that on BU's fourth goal, the ref hadn't blown the whistle before LaChance was knocked into the goalie. It was just BU's night I guess, because normally it seems the refs are quick to blow it dead when the goalie has it and there is a lot of action on top of him. When it happened I was afraid they would find a reason to wave off the goal. I expected JP to get in the game at the start of the third. The only reason I can think of that they didn't was that maybe Noble needed to make some more saves to get his save percentage up to win the Eberly Award. Obviously Veisor had no shot, but maybe Taylor was close enough that Parker wanted him to leave him in to get it. I was glad to see that the third and fourth lines got the bulk of the PT in the second half of the game.
