Re: Boston College Eagles 2013-2014 season thread -Speed returns to The Heights

I don't understand the question

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

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.

Is that what happened? A shot from outside the blue line? Or was the goal scored in the zone after a couple seconds of play

"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)

Re: Boston College Eagles 2013-2014 season thread -Speed returns to The Heights

the bottom line is that offsides is in fact reviewable. i'd have to imagine this one was pretty blatant.

I don't have the rulebook right in front of me…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.

Re: Boston College Eagles 2013-2014 season thread -Speed returns to The Heights

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.


Very interesting

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.
