The end of tonight’s game featured a lot of yelling back and forth between the teams and, most notably, no postgame handshake. At one point, BU freshman defenseman Adam Clendening was yelling at Northeastern coach Greg Cronin, who then proceeded to grab Clendening. That led to BU coach Jack Parker yelling at Cronin and a number of gestures between the two sides as the Huskies were escorted off the ice. As both coaches explained after the game, though, the whole incident was really one big misunderstanding. In a fitting end to a series where both teams were frustrated with inconsistent officiating throughout, the finger-pointing for the postgame debacle was directed toward the referees.Here are the two coaches’ takes:CroninI was upset because I wanted my team to shake hands with BU. That was a great series. But I was unaware that the referee had told our team to exit the ice without a handshake. So the BU players were upset and yelling at me, which I would’ve done as well. You know, classless and all these things.So I went over to ask [the refs] what happened, and then one of the BU players came by and yelled at me. I kind of turned and I grabbed him. It was Clendening. I didn’t know what he was yelling, and I said, ‘It’s not my choice to kick them off the ice.’ And then Jack yelled over, ‘What’s going on?’ He wasn’t being provocative. He was just asking what was going on.I thought it looked really poor that this was a great series and we’re exiting the ice and the BU team, who lost the series, is waiting for us to shake hands. There was no precedent for it. There was no memo before the game that that would happen. I really didn’t think it was that bad-blooded a game.The classy thing to do — I mean, this is college athletics — is to walk through the line and shake hands. As the head coach, I took some abuse for it. I was trying to explain that it wasn’t my decision. I actually tried to go back and get my team on the ice, but Benedetto grabbed me and said, ‘No, it’s over. The game’s over.’ParkerI didn’t know why Greg was arguing with the referee, but he was saying something to the referee. As it turned out, and Greg just told me, he was yelling at him, ‘How come we’re not shaking hands?’ One of my players thought he was saying something else and just told him, ‘Hey, shut up,’ which he never should’ve said. And then Greg grabbed him, which Greg shouldn’t have done either. If Greg had a problem with one of my players, he should’ve come to me and I could talk to the player. That’s the way it usually goes.But because of that, they decided not to shake hands. And that’s too bad, because both teams fought hard. I went down to their dressing room to congratulate their players while Greg was in here [the media room] just because I didn’t have a chance to congratulate them in the line and wish them good luck. And I do wish them good luck. They’ve had a hell of a run down the stretch here.
