Re: Official 2011-2012 Miami Season Thread: Short People Leave Big Shoes to Fill

I was sitting on the glass at the other end of the ice (not the best view), and even from there I looked to the ref fully expecting the interference call, so I'll give you that one. On the replay of Biggs non-goal, I didn't see any kicking motion, so obvious might be a stretch, but not claiming to be an expert on such things.

A friend of mine who was watching it on TV told me the commentary guys said it was because Biggs' skate was in the crease before the puck... I wasn't aware that was a rule.

It was in the NHL in the 90's, that isn't still around in college is it?

That's what I heard from a friend who was watching on TV also. And she said she could see that his foot may have been in the crease but he definitely didn't kick it.

At any rate, we took 5 of 6 which was far better than most expected out of the weekend. In the past I've never been one to derive much excitment from a shootout win, but mentally that has to be huge for this team, and I could probably watch Paulazzo's move at least once a day for the rest of the season, so for once, yippe skills competition!

I'm excited to see what BG brings next weekend. They made such good progress last year that I want to see if they're still on the right track.

I don't know why people here knock on the shootout. Yes it is a skills competition but I like it better than other conferences ending games in a tie!

What does everyone else think about shootouts?

I won't argue that the shootout isn't an exciting way to break a tie, however I have always thought that it was a silly way to award an extra point. I would rather see a tie just be a tie.

Not that it really matters, but to satisfy anyone's curiosity.

Shootouts are garbage

Would you mind elaborating on that?

IMO, I don't like them. Unfortunately, the only reason I say that is that I don't think Miami has a very good record in them...lol!

Right about 2:30 or so, it shows undeniably that the puck enters the crease first, there is not kicking motion as his knee was locked, and there was no goalie interference.

Goal.

Period.

Sure...I think it is a lousy way to decide a game or give points--that is not how you play the game. I would hate to see baseball go to a home run contest to decide games---it think a shootiout is hockey's equivalent... I don't like 4x4 in ot either
