Just in general, does anyone know if there has been a change in officiating this year in college hockey, or at least in the ECAC? In past years, I remember seeing a team getting called for 6 or 7 penalties tops per game. I've been to 4 games so far this year, and I don't think either team in any game has not gotten called for at least 10. There has been so little 5 on 5 from what I've seen.

It's likely skewed watching the ECAC. Our refs suck. Bad.

Refereeing was actually pretty decent tonight in the Cornell/Harvard game at Lynah. Which I didn't expect, since it was John Murphy doing the honors -- probably the worst in the league. Pretty boring game for most of it. cornell score 2 mins in, Harvard quickly tied, then 45 minutes of hard work along the boards and in the corners, stifling defense from Harvard, and horrid Cornell passing.

Harvard took the lead with 7 mins left. Cornell ties it on a goal off the draw with 3+ min to play, and goes ahead a couple minutes to play and goes ahead on a breakaway goal at the tail end of a successful penalty kill.

Great start. Great finish. 50 minutes of crap in between. LET'S GO RED!

Surprisingly -- giving their recent success -- Cornell is 5-0 for the first time in 30 years.
