Watching 4 games in Providence this year, I would have to say the HE officials are trained to be bad. They are making calls that aren't even there. There is no flow to the games and i feel sad to say that HE would rather play a game entirely on special teams than 5 on 5. The NHL had to go to this because of a lack of scoring. The college game had no problems with scoring. Am I alone with these feelings or does anyone else feel these officials should soften up and let these guys play for the betterment of the game?
The season may be young but my nomination goes to Brown/Sterns. While they called an inconsistent game between DU and Minnesota State overall, they eventually embarrassed themselves by taking what should have been a penalty shot and changing it to an embellishment penalty.
I'll second this. I went to the Friday game since CC was off for the weekend. I chuckled through the entire game at how bad the officiating was, for/against both sides (I was also chuckling at the DU fans' responses, although I think the anger was probably justified). Embellishment... ha. Sounds like something the NFL would come up with.
I'm still trying to get over that call at BU when DU was buzzing with 20 seconds left and an extra attacker. We were oh so close to scoring
over and over again when the ref called a penalty on us. 20 seconds left! Face off in our zone, buzzer, ruined the game. Several hard core BU fans were shaking their heads in disgust!!

Most of you know I'd rather date North Dakota "beauty" contest winners than complain about a call, but that deal with Shore last night really mystified me. Sure looked like he was pulled down when the MSU player's blade caught him at mid thigh. "Embellishment" strikes me, generally, as over-officious bull shiza, relying as it does on mind reading.
CCHA officials are having a rough year. This BC goal at Notre Dame was disallowed as the pass across the crease was called a hand pass.

I am trying to decide between Alex Ovechkin and Tim Thomas right now, nevermind, they are both idiots. Just behind Jim Harbaugh for blowing off Coughlin and then not speaking to the media because he was having a tantrum.

No doubt a ton of calls that were not that hot and many that cost teams games. I can note time after time in almost any game where I'm watching away and the arm goes up and I'm saying, " what happened". I know they are in a tough spot, but really they could call more penalties on North Dakota and less on everyone else.
