THAT was interference?!?

 

[Gurth 2.0]

THAT was interference?!?

It was.

I was surprised they didn't call it but they did.

All she had to do was keep her feet moving for 3 seconds.

 

[Timothy A]

They called that penalty on Edwards? What a bunch of crap

 

[robertearle]

It was.

I was surprised they didn't call it but they did.

All she had to do was keep her feet moving for 3 seconds.

That was something that happens 100 times a game.

 

[Timothy A]

That was something that happens 100 times a game.

Yep.

 

[Gurth 2.0]

That was something that happens 100 times a game.

The key was that she wasn't moving her feet.

We all saw it in real time and were surprised it wasn't called.

Yes... D do that for a couple strides on a dump in and it's allowed but they are moving their feet.

 

[Gurth 2.0]

Boom!

She taketh away and she giveth.

 

[Still Eeyore]

Hence why I'd like to see them again.

The spearing, in particular, was an absolute no brainer call. From the NCAA rulebook:

66.1 Spearing - A player shall not spear an opponent. Spearing shall meanstabbing an opponent with the point of the stick blade while the stick isbeing carried with one or both hands. Spearing includes all cases in which a spearing gesture is made, regardless of whether contact occurs.

There is no question that the Badger, Pieckenhagen, I think, made a spearing motion. Whether she made contact with Desa's body, or just her jersey, makes no difference.

Good stuff bud.

Like I said, I didn't see it.

Pretty clear on the rule.

Obvious coaching malpractice then. I hear there are people with experience coaching rodents available. Don't know if they'd have any interest in coaching fictitious felines.

 

[Gurth 2.0]

Not a trip - didn't touch her.

 

[LBartowski]

Offside? Gift goal.

So McNaughton was speared on the goal.

 

[Gurth 2.0]

Offside? Gift goal.

Did you watch the play and hear/understand the explanation?

Play was onside by the rule. Skate doesn't need to be on the ice, just above the blue line, which it was.

I didn't know that was the rule and assumed it would be disallowed.

The rule changed three years ago.

 

[Gurth 2.0]

The rule changed three years ago.

Yeah... was new to me.

Thought the skate had to be on the ice.

 

[LBartowski]

I don’t believe that’s the rule. Skate has to be on the ice unless it’s a different rule than USA Hockey.

 

[Gurth 2.0]

I don’t believe that’s the rule. Skate has to be on the ice unless it’s a different rule than USA Hockey.

They explained it on the broadcast.

You can think whatever you want.

Good thing I downloaded the NCAA rulebook earlier. From Rule 86.1:

A player is on-side when either of the skates are in contact or over theplayer's side of the blue line at the instant the puck completely crosses theleading edge of the blue line. The player's side of the line shall be definedby a plane of the blue line which extends from the leading edge of the blueline upwards. If a player’s skate has yet to break the plane prior to the puckcompletely crosses the leading edge, the player is deemed to be on-side.

 

[robertearle]

"On" vs "over" changed some years ago.
