from twitter it reads as though umass scored a goal that then went under review because umass was offsides some time before the goal was scored.... something new
a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.
It seemed like the Warriors had a collective case of opening-night jitters, as goaltender Joe Cannata had trouble fielding a soft shot from Wildcats defender Blake Kessel from center ice only 30 seconds into the game. Fortunately for Merrimack, officials reviewed the play and determined that a UNH player was offsides when Kessel scored and revoked the goal.
“Good thing I’m not a shortstop,” Cannata said. “I guess it took a lucky bounce, but we were lucky [UNH] was offsides.”
The Wildcats officially got on the board seven minutes later, moments after the Warriors successfully killed Sheen’s hooking penalty.

"game officials may use replay to correct an error on calling an offside or too many players on the ice that directly leads to a goal." (found that in the rule book)

I don't have the rulebook right in front of meā¦and I'm a neutral observer so I don't have a feeling one way or another, but at one time the rule stated that offsides calls could only be reviewed in post-season play. I believe that is no longer the rule, but that is where the confusion came regarding UMass' displeasure.

good work tony. here it is in the rule book:
A team may use its timeout for the purpose of reviewing situations that
are in the video replay criteria or a potentially non-detected goal. If the
challenge is successful, the team retains its timeout. This timeout policy
applies to any video replay procedure used.
The on-ice official makes the final decision.

gotcha. certainly intriguing, especially the new wrinkle of being able to call a timeout in order to "challenge" something.
Recap linked above. Not much to add except a few quotes from York, Micheletto and Troy Power. I have to say I was very impressed with the class that Troy Power handled himself with in post game press conference even after being egged on by the UMass media contingent.
