Two GIFs of the OT waived off goal. The ref points emphatically for the goal, he never waives it off.

I would love to see the overhead view of that play.

Hopefully the Hawks can stay out the box tonight.

I only saw one ref near the net and he pointed... I dunno...

Interesting. The twitter things show him on the far side of net to me. When I saw him motioning he was on the side closest to me waving off. Goes to show why eye witness accounts are messed up. I really did see him wave off and told the person next to me when I saw it.

My recollection of the play was that the puck had not crossed the line when Smith made contact. Smith actually had to swipe at the puck with his stick to guide the puck into the net. It was during this swiping motion that he made contact with the goaltender and it appeared that the goaltender was in such a position that he could not attempt to slide across the crease to try and block the shot.

Again, this is my recollection of the play and all points made may not be 100% factual.

I guess video shows clearly puck had crossed line before contact was made. Moot point because they can't review it. Would feel better if they said it happened before the thing went in.

And onward.

It'll happen... I didn't remember the ref being behind them net. I thought he was in front to the side.

I saw him on side by zamboni doors. Maybe I am out of my mind.

Maybe it's because you've seen so many Lowell goals waived off over the years?

6 games left... if they keep up the undefeated streak that pressure is going to get intense.

Embarrassing third period by Lowell.

Two nights in a row. Wall looks like the real deal in goal though.

They seemed to run out of gas again in the 3rd, the penalties didn't help. Wall looked good and Conner Wilson had a very good weekend. Tough night for Kapla.

OK, rule book experts, here is a hypothetical situation for you. If in fact the ref behind the net signals a goal by pointing at the net (as shown in the GIFs) and this happens about a second before the trailing ref puts his hand up to signal a penalty, and this can be proven, can the outcome of the game be changed by the NCAA?

Oh, and BTW, I stand corrected. Smith did not guide the puck into the net by swiping at it. It was actually redirected by the UMD player (#3) that was sprawled on the ice in front of the net. If it had not been redirected, Smith's shot would have gone wide.

Wall looked fantastic. Very Hellebuyck like in his approach; always squared to the puck and no wasted movement. I don't see the need to to play anyone else right now.

If the NCAA didn't overturn that Oklahoma State football game, there's a 0% chance they're overturning this one.

Ugh. Disturbing pattern.

Let's hope tonight's game flows better and things loosen up a bit.

Meanwhile there's nary a BC fan about after their loss to Air Force last night. Going to be a rough year for them I think.

I disagree. But I'm a homer.

Last season was a rough year. All that talent and never reached full potential. Disappointing.
