Re: Norwich hockey 2012-2013: Our thread closed before Owsego's

Not a good night for the zebras ... one in particular ... from my blog this morning on NSNsports.net ...
... In a game that was not the least bit dirty or chippy, Norwich, usually one of the least penalized teams in the country, was whistled for 39 minutes in penalties, including a five minute major and two ten minute misconducts. The major for boarding in the second period, was clearly a penalty but whether it should have been a major was questionable to say the least. The two misconducts, both in the third were whistled for words to the same referee ... one after that ref got in the way of a Cadet trying to catch a breakaway pass along the boards, the other after another Cadet was hauled down on a breakaway, only to be hung with an embellishment call on the play. I'm sorry if this sounds biased ... I am the Norwich play by play guy ... but if there was ever a case of a ref having rabbit ears, this was it.
