Good points. And rewatching it, it's understandable that the ref would have had a very difficult time seeing the head-to-head contact in real time, and easily could've misjudged it as a simple board or charge worthy of a minor. And I agree it would've been stupid for him to be forced to go to the replay booth and review the play and reassess a major or whatever. That said, on replay it's clear what happened and the league's subsequent assessment of a suspension is justified. Replay has a role, and in this case was used properly after the fact.

I wasn't referring to that particular play. Miller and Koharski, specifically, have been ****ing horrible making simple tripping, hooking, holding, etc. calls. The call on MacAvoy on Monday night was a good example. The home game against UMass, calling holding on Greenway when he had the puck and had reached back to brush the defensive player's arm off his shoulder is another great example, that "roughing" penalty on Lane (I think?) near the end of the game when Greenway scored a shortie. The NU @ BU game on a Friday night back in November took 2 hours and 45 minutes, and it was not an OT game. I have no idea how it is possible, but these two idiots make the rest of the refs over the past 13 years look great.

Oh you're right, those two have been terrible together. They call different styles of games and do not communicate well with one another on the ice, so you end up with a ridiculously inconsistent game, the worst of call kinds. They did the first BC game at Conte this year as well.

congrats on your sweep of UML . I was going to pay for the feeds but what's the point?

You're trying to be mookie and, well, it's just not working for me.

you think? that's exactly what i was doing but i do think BU will take both games, better team

In general I think Koharski lets the players play, whereas Miller calls anything/everything resembling physical contact. Miller also tends to be out of position and behind the play; the most notable example is the call against Carpenter late in the game @ BC that resulted in the BC GWG.

We stop at bobble head. HEAD

Nobody here wants a doll

(Write that down)

I thought you were secure enough in your masculinity to not have that be an issue. :) Are you bringing your daughter tonight? Isn't BU undefeated when you bring her??

Agreed, and that's the problem with pairing them. They have different views on play and they do a terrible job of conferring with one another before and during the game on how to call it, thus you get one ref calling a play one way and the other calling it another, leaving the players on the ice in an impossible conundrum of knowing what's allowed.

In all fairness, UML had avoided the iron of the HE schedule for the majority of the season and has started to slide quite a bit now that they are getting the heavyweights (BU included).

I'm in town already, so no kiddies

And yes, she is undefeated

So, because I'm trying to avoid doing work this afternoon, I checked out the HE standings. Terriers have four losses, three of which should have been wins - UConn, UVM and Merrimack. If we were able to get one of these back as a W, which one would you take?

All of them

Incredible how bu always seems to play down to their competition. Been an issue for the past 2 decades.
Hasn't changed

The 4-3 loss to Merrimack. The other two losses were stinkers, but BU outplayed Merrimack most of the game. Two weak goals in a 1:03 span of the second turned the tide and Delia slammed the door in the third.

I'd take all of them back as well.

Over the past few weeks they've taken care of UMASS, Maine, NU and Merrimack with relative ease.

Now see, this is the type of answer I was looking for. Jeez, I'd want all three back as well but my question was - if you could have ONE of them back, which one? Pay attention people! :) I actually should have expanded the question to include the ties as well. Given that I think BU fought back to tie both Providence games, I would have like the BC tie to be a win, given that BU was winning till a few minutes to go in the game and then BC tied it. Crap.

Big weekend for seeding and getting that bye. Much bigger then Monday. I'm afraid of them coming out flat tonight after the tough OT loss to their biggest rival. Let's hope in wrong (again)
