  • Re: RIT Tigers 2017 / 2018. Is time to go out and capture some prey!

    As for tomorrow, a win, Army tie, and Air Force loss still gets RIT a bye and home ice.

    An Army loss means the best RIT can do is 5th, and an Army win means RIT will be hosting someone at the Polesseni next weekend, regardless of what RIT does tomorrow.

      • Re: RIT Tigers 2017 / 2018. Is time to go out and capture some prey!

        There's a lot of gray area in this one. They amplified the current rule book on this point. The parts I highlighted are the amplifications they added to the current rules:

        Rule 73 - Interference on the Goalkeeper

        73.1 Interference on the Goalkeeper - The overriding rationale of this rule is that a goalkeeper should have the ability to move freely within the goal crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player. However, an attacking player’s position, whether inside or outside the crease, should not, by itself, determine whether a goal should be allowed or disallowed. In other words, goals scored while attacking players are standing in the crease may, in appropriate circumstances, be allowed.

        Goals should be disallowed only if an attacking player, either by positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to defend the goal.

        If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player and causes contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.

        If a defending player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by an attacking player so as to cause the defending player to come into contact with the goalkeeper, such contact shall be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, and if necessary a penalty assessed to the attacking player and if a goal is scored it shall be disallowed.

        Rights of the Goaltender – The rules must protect the goaltender and allow him or her to defend the goal, within the goal crease, without interference from an attacking player. This includes allowing a goaltender to move effectively and efficiently within the crease, as well as being able to see the puck unimpeded by a player who has established a position in the crease.

        Rights of the Attacking Player – Attacking players who are outside of the crease have some rights to the space they occupy. In cases where an attacking player makes contact with goaltender’s equipment that extends outside the plane of the crease (e.g., glove, blocker, stick, etc.), provided that the attacking player does not initiate distinct and deliberate actions aimed at impeding the goaltender’s use of their equipment (e.g., slashing the goaltender’s glove), this contact should be considered incidental and goals scored on such plays shall be allowed.

        If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeeper’s vision and impair his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, such goals shall be disallowed. For this purpose, a player establishes a significant position within the crease when, in the referee’s judgment, his/her body, or a substantial portion thereof, is within the goal crease for more than an instantaneous period of time.

        Role of the Official – Officials are encouraged to use their discretion in determining the effect of an attacking player making contact with a goaltender or with goaltender equipment. Referees are instructed to give more significant consideration to the degree and nature of the contact than to the exact location of the goalkeeper at the time of the contact. If, in the opinion of the official, the incidental contact had no effect on the goaltender’s ability to defend the goal, a goal may be allowed in such situations.

        73.2 Penalty – If, in the opinion of the official, an attacking player initiates contact that physically prevents the goalkeeper from defending the goal, the attacking player may receive a penalty. This penalty may be enforced whether or not the goalkeeper is inside or outside the goal crease and whether or not a goal is scored. The referee should give significant consideration to the degree and nature of the contact with the goalkeeper rather than to the exact location of the goalkeeper at the time of the contact.
        If an attacking player establishes position in the goal crease, and is physically or visually screening the goalkeeper and impairing the ability to defend the goal, and a goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed.

        73.3 Face-off Location–Whenever the Referee stops play to disallow a goal as a result of contact with the goalkeeper (incidental or otherwise), the resulting face-off shall take place at the nearest neutral zone face-off spot outside the attacking zone of the offending team.

        73.4 Rebounds and Loose Pucks - In a rebound situation, or where a goalkeeper and attacking player(s) are simultaneously attempting to play a loose puck, whether inside or outside the crease, incidental contact with the goalkeeper will be permitted, and any goal that is scored as a result will be allowed.

        In the event that a goalkeeper has been pushed into the net together with the puck by an attacking player, the goal will be disallowed. If applicable, appropriate penalties will be assessed.

        In the event that the puck is under a player in or around the crease area (deliberately or otherwise), a goal cannot be scored by pushing this player together with the puck into the goal. If applicable, the appropriate penalties will be assessed, including a penalty shot if deemed to be covered in the crease deliberately (see Rule 67 – Delaying the Game).

        73.5 Overall Philosophy - Officials must use a philosophy of “when in doubt, the goal must count.” Unless the official is certain that a goal was scored through an illegal action (e.g., physically hindering the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely while in the crease and defend the goal), the goal must count. Games that have video replay available may correct egregious errors, but the standard of evidence required to disallow a goal is significant.

          This rule was discussed at some length on the rules committee's conference call with broadcasters in October, especially the final paragraph. And the rules committee reinforced that in a memo on February 15.

              Short will hardly be guaranteed significant playing time next year. I expect both Drackett and Adriano to improve from this year now that they should be acclimated to college play.

                He absolutely was. Brown's glove knocked Wildung's glove down, and that's where the puck went in. There's no controversy whatsoever on this one, unfortunately.

                  Completely disagree, Wildung pushes off on Brown first and in no way was he going to make that save his reaction was late anyways. This should absolutely have been allowed. In any event, we dont want to finish 5th and go to Air Force potentially. Forget the first round bye I'd rather see them play at home for a series honestly. 5th place is the complete worst place to finish in my opinion, if they can't finish 4th then 6th would be better. Just my thought!

                    It doesn't matter who initiated the contact, Brown was in the crease, and was not pushed into the crease by the defender. I mean, come on, Brown's glove/elbow/arm clearly pushes Wildung's glove out of the way inside of the crease as the puck is coming in.

                    Some of you really need to take the home team blinders off. God knows I've been completely willing to criticize officials in the past for bad/non-existent calls, but this one will be waved off 10 times out of 10, as it should be. I would be furious if that call went the other way against RIT if the roles were reversed.

                    For the record, if the crazy scenario of an RIT/Air Force/Army 3 way tie for 4th happens, RIT would win the tiebreaker on wins in conference (RIT would be 3-3-0 against Army/AF, Army would be 2-2-0 against AF/RIT, and Air Force would be 3-3-0 against Army/RIT, so the first tiebreaker ends in a 3 way tie). Army would then beat Air Force for the 5th seed based on H2H record, so Army would be the team visiting RIT after the bye.

                    That's the only way the Tigers can get a bye, so Army is the only possible team that would visit the Pollesini in a 2nd round matchup. This scenario is also the only one in which Air Force does not get a bye.

                      The push off is completely irrelevant. It occurred when Brown was in the crease and ended before the shot. Also if he reacted late or not to the shot is not relevant. Lets dig into the rule that Ed posted and break it down.

                      Goals should be disallowed only if an attacking player, either by positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to defend the goal.
                      The contact clearly did not allow the goaltender to extend his glove, if his reaction is late or not is not under consideration. He has the right to freely move within the crease.

                      If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player and causes contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.
                      Brown enter the crease area himself, if anything the contact was pushing him out of the crease and certainly was legal contact

                      Rights of the Goaltender – The rules must protect the goaltender and allow him or her to defend the goal, within the goal crease, without interference from an attacking player. This includes allowing a goaltender to move effectively and efficiently within the crease, as well as being able to see the puck unimpeded by a player who has established a position in the crease.
                      This part of the rule pretty much dooms the goal. There is no way you can say that the goaltender was allow to effectively and efficiently move his glove to make the save. He was impeded by Brown in the crease.

                      Rights of the Attacking Player – Attacking players who are outside of the crease have some rights to the space they occupy. In cases where an attacking player makes contact with goaltender’s equipment that extends outside the plane of the crease (e.g., glove, blocker, stick, etc.), provided that the attacking player does not initiate distinct and deliberate actions aimed at impeding the goaltender’s use of their equipment (e.g., slashing the goaltender’s glove), this contact should be considered incidental and goals scored on such plays shall be allowed.
                      Brown was in the crease which pretty much ends all exceptions to the goal being disallowed.

                      If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeeper’s vision and impair his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, such goals shall be disallowed. For this purpose, a player establishes a significant position within the crease when, in the referee’s judgment, his/her body, or a substantial portion thereof, is within the goal crease for more than an instantaneous period of time.
                      Just beating a dead horse, or dead goal at this point, he was there early and through the goal

                      Role of the Official – Officials are encouraged to use their discretion in determining the effect of an attacking player making contact with a goaltender or with goaltender equipment. Referees are instructed to give more significant consideration to the degree and nature of the contact than to the exact location of the goalkeeper at the time of the contact. If, in the opinion of the official, the incidental contact had no effect on the goaltender’s ability to defend the goal, a goal may be allowed in such situations.
                      The only hope lays here were you could say maybe the contact didn't effect the ability to defend the goal. Hard argument to make when he was not able to raise his glove up to the area where the shot went.

                      73.5 Overall Philosophy - Officials must use a philosophy of “when in doubt, the goal must count.” Unless the official is certain that a goal was scored through an illegal action (e.g., physically hindering the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely while in the crease and defend the goal), the goal must count. Games that have video replay available may correct egregious errors, but the standard of evidence required to disallow a goal is significant.
                      Here where I am sorry Ed, I have to disagree there is no grey on this play. The example they gave of an illegal action "physically hindering the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely while in the crease and defend the goal" fits what happen. I don't see how you can argue that without wearing Orange Sunglasses.

                      I can understand if you do not like the rule, but that is what we are living with and until it change I have to say the officials made the correct call...
                      Course, That's Just my Opinion, I Could Be Wrong.

                        This is way I say soft defensive play has been RIT's biggest problem.
                        I agree that Soft Defensive is a really big problem. But soft goaldtending has been just about the same problem. RIT's team save percentage is a sad .872% and there have been plenty of soft goal. I thought Short was just as soft on Riley's goal as Brubacher was. And that wrap around after Brown's goal was just a killer. The only reason this team has any chance is that they are scoring at a 10.4% shooting advantage and they are out shooting opponents 986 to 884...

                          My head hurts from all this talk. I’m going to the Army SHU game in about an hour and hoping SHU can do to Army what they did to RIT during the second game of last week.

                          Given what is at stake though I think Army will be ready for SHU.

                          In four or so hours we can reconvene. . I’m sure we will all have a lot to say. To those going to the RIT game, I’m so jealous. Go Tigers!

                              Ok, here are all the different scenarios on tonight's games: (remember that Army's result also locks in Sacred Heart's result, and Air Force's result also locks in RoMo's result)

                              RIT win/tie/loss, Army win, Air Force win: RIT finishes 6th, will host Sacred Heart in round 1 and visit Air Force in round 2 if they advance.
                              RIT win/tie, Army win, Air Force tie/loss: RIT finishes 6th, will host Sacred Heart in round 1 and visit Holy Cross in round 2 if they advance.
                              RIT win, Army tie/loss, Air Force win: RIT finishes 5th, will visit Holy Cross in round 2.
                              RIT win, Army tie/loss, Air Force tie: RIT finishes 5th, will visit Air Force in round 2.
                              RIT win, Army tie, Air Force loss: RIT finishes 4th, will host Army in round 2.
                              RIT win, Army loss, Air Force loss: RIT finishes 5th, will visit Air Force in round 2.

                              RIT tie/loss, Army tie, Air Force win: RIT finishes 6th, will host Bentley in round 1, will visit Air Force in round 2 if they advance
                              RIT tie, Army tie, Air Force tie/loss: RIT finishes 6th, will host Bentley in round 1, will visit Holy Cross in round 2 if they advance
                              RIT tie, Army loss, Air Force win: RIT finishes 5th, will visit Holy Cross in round 2
                              RIT tie, Army loss, Air Force tie/loss: RIT finishes 5th, will visit Air Force in round 2

                              RIT loss, Army win, Air Force tie: RIT finishes 6th, will host Sacred Heart in round 1, will visit Holy Cross in round 2 if they advance
                              RIT loss, Army win, Air Force loss: RIT finishes 7th, will host Bentley in round 1, will visit either #2 Canisius (if #6 Robert Morris beats #11 Sacred Heart) or #3 Holy Cross if they advance (if SH beats RM)
                              RIT loss, Army tie, Air Force tie: RIT finishes 6th, will host Bentley in round 1, and will visit Holy Cross in round 2 if they advance
                              RIT loss, Army tie, Air Force loss: RIT finishes 7th, will host Niagara or Sacred Heart (Niagara if they lose, Sacred Heart if Niagara wins or ties) in round 1, and will visit either #2 Canisius (if #6 Robert Morris beats #11 Bentley) or #3 Holy Cross (if Bentley beats RoMo) if they advance
                              RIT loss, Army loss, Air Force win: RIT finishes 6th, will host Bentley in round 1, and will visit Air Force in round 2 if they advance
                              RIT loss, Army loss, Air Force tie: RIT finishes 6th, will host Bentley in round 1, and will visit Holy Cross in round 2 if they advance
                              RIT loss, Army loss, Air Force loss: RIT finishes 7th, will host Niagara or Sacred Heart (Niagara if they do not win, Sacred Heart if Niagara wins) in round 1, and will visit either #2 Canisius (if #6 Army beats #11 Bentley) or #3 Holy Cross (if Bentley beats Army) if they advance
