A week of frustration

After a week of being under the weather, I am back and filled with anger over events from the past week.

Let's start with last week. An injustice took place in Chicago on St. Patrick's Day. And this is not in reference to the childish fight between Doc Rivers and the referees. The issues at hand was the Chicago Bulls having the audacity to wear green jerseys on St. Patrick's Day against the Celtics. A uniform violation. 

There is this strange obsession for NBA teams who have no green at all in their jerseys to wear green alternates on St Patty's day. This makes no sense at all. Now that the Sonics are gone the only teams that should be allowed to wear any form of green are the Celtics and the Bucks.

During the weeks surrounding St. Patrick's Day the Celtics place emphasis on their green uniforms with gold numbering and lettering. In what looked like a manner to spite the C's the Bulls having choice of uniform being home team chose to wear their green jerseys instead. Having the Celtics wear their home whites.

Also on the list of frustrating moments was the officiating during the Hockey east championship between UMass Lowell and Boston University. 

A UML goal was called back due to an apparent whistle. The problem is that this whistle could not be heard on TV in any replay, or by anybody in the Garden outside of the BU bench. Watching the video Millan clearly does not have the puck, and no whistle can be heard, even the broadcasters said so.

It is more infuriating to hear the stat that in 29 calls all-time that have gone into review at the Garden, Boston University had 27 of those calls go in their favor. Another present sent to BU head coach Jack Parker by Hockey East. 

Still, despite this the River Hawks deserve a standing ovation, and congratulations from all around campus. After losing six straight games, and struggling to win close games the team could have packed it in, but They fought hard and exceeded all expectations, and set personal accomplishments along the way.

Nothing to do but wait continue on and hope things are better from here.
