  • Fix the **** nets

    This isn't necessarily the NCAA's fault here, but enough is enough.

    First Vermont went to the Frozen Four on an overtime goal that went through a net last season. Then tonight UNH ties Cornell 1-1 with another one that went through the net. Thankfully the referees made the proper calls on both occasions, but one of these nights someone's going to get screwed on something like this, and they're going to have a legitimate beef. God forbid if it happens in the National Title game.

    A puck should not go completely through the net and come out the other side. The makeup of the nets need to be changed. This is completely unavoidable and should be fixed.

      Wait until one of the big boys (Michigan, Michigan St, Minnesota, BC, BU, etc.) gets screwed. We'll have a riot on our hands around here, and rightfully so.

        If you want it to be accurate you can always have an electronic trigger in the pucks. If anyone remebers FOX's NHL coverage in the 90s they use to have a little blue circle around the pucks for normal passing and trick shots and it would turn red for slap shots and what not. Maybe implement something similar. All you would need is some sort of sensor in the puck and the net that would only activate on a goal. It would not be that costly to implement and could be outfitted rather quickly.

          I'd rather shrink the holes in the net instead of going back to the Glow Puck. If it goes in the net, it should stay in the net.

              What happens in the net, stays in the net.

                No need for the glow puck, but an electronic sensor could replace the role of the goal judge.

                Then again, electronics can fail just as humans can.

                  The NHL already *ed the Red Wings once this season partly because the goal judges got moved. Let's not outsmart ourselves here or overthink this. Shrink the holes in the nets, please.

                      It's not a conspiracy at all. It's incompetence. The NHL moved the goal judges so they could sell another ~10 high-end tickets per game, and the referees botched the replay 7 way until Sunday, even after they got a call from Toronto.

                        They got rid of that because the players said it altered the pucks and made it harder to handle/shoot. I have no reason to believe it would be any different now.

                          if you make the nets have smaller holes it will be tougher for the refs to see the puck cross the line or not. I've seen about 3 instances of this happening and every time video replay has led to the correct call being made

                              Umm, early round NCAA playoff between UMN and NMU (?) it happened to the Gophs then. Shot one through the net and the refs and goal judge were the only ones in the building who didn't see it.
