Comments on: FAH-Q http://www.nerdsonsports.com/2008/02/12/fah-q/ Where nerds are talking about sports!

I've been to maybe 6 games this season and had seen the traditional 3 refs. My dad has been to about 20 college games this season, and said he hasn't seen 4 refs on the ice until last Monday, so I wasn't sure if it was a new tournament rule or something. It is my father's belief that there should be two. He was complaining about the 4 all night, and then that interference blew his top. (seriously I saw a little piece of his head come flying off) He practically tackled the guy (and fellow bc fan by the way) who was sitting in front of us who was arguing that my dad's blame was misplaced on the ref and should reside with Muse who should have lifted his glove two inches and caught the damn puck. This argument disintegrated into who knew more about college hockey. Which is an argument no one should ever get into with Bill McDermott. If he could somehow take a daily does of Hockey East action intravenously he would. I was obviously rooting for BC regardless of my current BU affiliation, but let me tell you I never rooted for them so much last night. I was pretty sure that if they lost my dad was going to kill people. Most likely the ref and the guy seated in front of my dad, but I wasn't sure that his homicidal episode would be limited to them, and I was sitting pretty close.

Q: Why isn't hockey all that popular right now? Does it have anything to do with the Mullet? Meaning: is hockey's popularity and the mullet's popularity directly proportional? Q: Could there ever be a 5 on 2 Power Play? Is this where we post our HQs (hockey questions)?

Somebody remind me, please. 2) I'd like to think that if I had my carotid sliced open, I too would have the fortitude to cover it with my hand, get up, and skate back to the bench. 1) I’m definitely going to the Beanpot next year.
