Maine 2012 - Take 2. If This Ain't the Bottom...

Re: Maine 2012 - Take 2. If This Ain't the Bottom...

HORRIBLE call...AND they had to go to video to make it! Diamond never touched the goalie--the only contact came when the goalie pushed out on Diamond with his catching glove. Total crap--thanks, ref. You are BAD at your job.

No.....I don't know its not that close up I guess I was looking more for a bump or some entanglement that prevented him from sliding to the right and didn't see much.

Seems appropriate that a game between 2 pathetic teams ends pathetically.

Both Maine and Vermont fans deserve better than this.......both of these pathetic coaches should be fired.

As a guy with no dog in the fight I thought the call was correct (there was skate contact at a minimum, Hoffman could not move right unobstructed)....very surprised that the refs actually overturned the goal. Kind of crazy that there were probably 3-4 penalties that didn't get called in the 20 seconds before the goal was disallowed. I guess replay doesn't allow for those to be picked up on.

That's a ridiculous call that's a good goal

I thought it looked like a good goal too....

that sort of thing would really suck in a hockey east final at the garden... like what happened to Lowell..

the (mike Hamilton's toe) rule is that the player in the crease must impede the goalie's ability to make a save... not just be in the paint
the call on the ice was goal
so the replay had to show that diamond absolutely impeded the goalie's ability to make a save... right?

How long will this clown show continue? Seriously......anyone have any guesses? This is starting to remind me of the Red Sox......circa 20th Century.

You didn't really think Timmay would argue did you? He bobs his head up and down at the officials in agreement.

Joey was not in the paint and did not interfere with the goalie. Play was overturned simply because of the reputation of the player involved. Ref definitely made that call to quickly after reviewing. Maine got screwed and Vermont got lucky. At that time Timmy should have been in refs face and sticking up for his players. I think I have to blame the coach for this loss. Is it that he doesn't know how to coach this group? The power play sucks and he refuses to make adjustments and sway from his so called Game Plan. Imo, power play should be 94,29,39 up front with 29 as the set up man. And thats only if 39 stops taking offensive zone penalties.

I think that he's just mocking Maine fans at this point.

if you are correct,then we should not expect to see that ref for a few months.
Bertagna will dock the guy some games for giving a win to UVM because of the reputation of a player... when the ref needs to see clear evidence of the prevention of a goaltender from making a save in the video replay in order to overturn the goal.

what a silly ref.
