UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Re: UVM 2017/18: A Gutt Check

Literally the worst called game I’ve ever seen. Refs have to be investigated. No joke.

I'm so salty. I've never seen the refs influence the outcome of a game to that degree in college hockey.

I’ve never seen it like that in any sport, in any league. That late whistle shooting after the whistle/goaltender slashing? call which a misconduct? That may be the worst call I’ve ever seen.

I would say that if it weren't for that 2002 NBA WCF Game 6. And what the hell was the misconduct on Alvaro? ESPECIALLY after missing a high hit?

Hockey East seriously has to review the officiating in this game.

And here's the thing. I'd be rattled in the regular season...but in the ****ing PLAYOFFS????

I want Sneddon to come out and say it. Suspension or not. He needs to stand up for his team and against that corrupt officiating against his team and players.

The game is meant to be decided by the players not some referee with a chip on his shoulder....

Kids played great. So much battle, so many big saves, so many gutsy plays

Refs are refs. Sometimes fricken brutal like tonight. Time to man up and battle back tomorrow. Tie it up 1-1 and play Sunday. They can beat this team. F the refs. Outplay them

That game was NOT “refs will be refs”. That was totally blatant. I’ve never seen anything like that.

So fans can moan. I get that. And maybe i need to understand better that this is a fan site, Teams and coaches DO need to say refs will be refs. Because the truth beyond all complaining is we are down 0-1. Stolen or whatever. We are down 0-1. So, pick it up, play better, outplay any one or two or ... calls. Play better tomorrow, make it 1-1, and outplay them from there. Blatant or not, that is the reality that needs to be dealt with.

Kinda hard to outplay calls when they leave you without your top 3 wingers, all of whom play key special teams minutes, for almost the entire third period. Like this wasn't just a bunch of ticky-tack minors in a row, this was misconducts to key players

No. Coaches need to stand up for their teams in the face of offocIating as terrible as that which was on display tonight. How can players be expected to fight if their coach isn’t? This isn’t Mayberry, and Sneddon shouldn’t act like Opie. “Awww shucks” isn’t the correct response to tonight’s debacle.
