2016/2016 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago

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.

mr les says no. The ref behind the net has the job of indicating it went past the goal line. If the net is off, penalty called, etc then those things are then considered. If there is a penalty at same time they conference and the penalty called overrides goal if called on offending side.

My biggest argument with the call is that the ref at center ice has absolutely no idea when the puck crossed the line in relation to the timing of the "penalty." To just say, I have a penalty and not be able to review which occurred first in unfathomable, and it sounds like it was reviewable.

The rule is you cannot video review goalie interference. Whether the rule is stupid seems an easy question but it is the rule. (and cost us the game)

Anyone making the trip out to Colorado or Omaha?
 
Re: 2016/2016 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago

The lack of energy both nights in the third period really bothered me. The only thing I could think of was that this was the opening weekend for Lowell, (while UMD had already played a couple of games), so the legs just weren't there? That's really my hope, because being outshot 49-16 the two nights combined after the second period is just embarrassing.

The picture below the headline is Jack Eichel? :confused:

Never change Lowell Sun, never change.

That's because this piece is a grab bag of sorts with other items and topics as well including a mention of Eichel near the end. There's also a pic of Goransson too in his part of the piece.

I still think its weird for them to do have done that given he's only mentioned in the last sentence, but whatever, maybe it looks better in the print version. I'm still not a fan of the Sun's online paper platform. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah, their online platform leaves something to desired from an appearance and usability standpoint. All of the papers under the Media One umbrella have the same crappy web presence.

Thankyou for posting...I thought they were wrong...now i'm sure of it.
Yes...UML should never had let them come back...but they did deserve the win!!!
Total BS
 
Re: 2016/2016 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago

And in other UML sports news, the men's soccer team is currently ranked #9 in the country. The real kick to the twig and berries on this one is they are still not eligible for post-season play.

They're 9th in the RPI rankings. 18th in the Coaches Poll.

Unfortunately I'm unable to make either trip this season. I guess the only way to see these games is through NCHC tv. It looks like the monthly pass is the best/cheapest option to get all four games.

I ordered that pass last season for the UMD games. Stream quality varied by school, and unfortunately UMD wasn't the best. I caught some of the CC/BC series and I thought the CC feed was better. I didn't catch any Omaha games. The cancellation process was no hassle as well. I plan on ordering it again.

Edit: It looks like the nchc.tv website lets you watch highlights for free. I'm assuming they are from the same video feed to give an idea of the quality.

woot... I did a custom team for NHL 17 of all the HEA players I could remember (not including ND)... the active roster was like (from memory) 6 BU, 6 BC, 2 Maine , 2 UNH, 2 Lowell (Hainsey, Folin), 1 Vermont, 1 NU, and 1 UMass. This was all with regards to the games player ratings. I let the CPU set the lineup.

edit: that adds up to 21 so something is incorrect in there... whatever.
