I don't remember thinking much about the reffing in either game the HE crew was involved in. That usually is a sign that they did an OK job, neither influencing the outcome nor allowing a jailbreak. What I do remember about Cole's officiating is all those "unsportsmanlike conduct" penalties. In the ECAC we tend to call them "hitting after the whistle", "roughing" etc. I guess that's just one of his idiosyncracies. I'd be more concerned if the series had Mike Noeth, the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyyde of ECAC officiating. ******************************************************************************** Brian Morris RPI Engineers--An Underachieving Team [log in to unmask] Go Cats Go!
