NCAA Tournament Officiating: Awful at best

Ok, I've been watching a few games today, and I have to say, the refs have been terrible. They just called an AF x-check penalty in the last 2 minutes of the 3rd with AF down 1-0 to BC. The players involved weren't even in the play and it had no bearing on the outcome of said play. It wasn't even intentional - they ran into eachother. You don't call a penalty in the last 2 minutes of a 1 goal PLAYOFF game unless it's a blatent call or it's a breakaway.

The BU / MN game has been no better. BU gets an interference call against because the Gopher player skated into the BU guy. BU also gets called for goalie interference while driving the net and gets hit into the goalie. I believe the same call was made against MN as well.

TL;DR The refs have sucked ass today.
