By rule an official can only review a hit to see if a major can be assessed. You can't review and call a minor. The hit on Cockerill was absolutely a boarding/HFB minor, but not worthy of a major.

I thought it was if a minor was called, they can review and make it a major. Not that they can review and asses a major or nothing.

They can review in either scenario to assess a major. In the case of the Cockerill hit, since nothing was called on the ice the review is only for whether the play called for a major penalty, so it is a case of reviewing to assess a major or do nothing.

As I'm sure your friend would tell you, the biggest thing players and coaches look for in an official is consistency. So, yes, in a vacuum that's probably not a penalty. But you can't take the play out of context from the rest of the game. The reality is, given the "weak" call against Greenway, it was appropriate to make an equally questionable call the other way. If you look at them out of context probably neither is a penalty.
Regarding the hit on Diffley, that was absolutely a boarding. It was directly in front of us and he just crushed him into the boards. Now they will defend it by saying that (I can't remember who unless I go back and watch the tape) a BU player absolutely flattened a BC player seconds before, but two "wrongs" don't make a right. He could have been seriously hurt. But that was in open ice. This hit was so egregious that you didn't even have to "worry" if it was a hit "from behind" or not; the hit alone (front, back or sideways) definitely merited a penalty.

Back to four lines tonight. Olsson rejoins the fourth line. Farrance back on D. Diffley out.
Last--and only--time BU played PC for the Hockey East title was 1995. BU won 3-2 on a Matt Wright goal in the final college hockey game at the old Garden. Last time BU played PC at TD Garden....don't remind me.

the fatigue factor kicked in like a period ago. no legs from last night's gm & late outing for pc. would be a miracle if they came back.
I see what you’re trying to do here.

not trying anything. just stating a fact. pc would have to dig deep to muster something but nothing left in tank.
i was here last night & am here now.. its a different team. fatigue is big factor. take advantage of it (as you are) & be happy, not cynical

I meant to put a smiley face with that.
I missed the first period, planning on watching it later, but it sounds like I picked the right period to miss? Win or lose, I like how we're playing.

Yes! And in a "down" year for the league. Hopefully someone will break through.
