They played a replay in the arena...the worst call for a game misconduct that I've ever seen (and to yale's top scorer). Unreal.
Congrats to UMD. You played a good game, were better than us for the first period and a half, we then got a little momentum to cut it the 3-1 and then the refs decided to end the game. A shame. Good luck to UMD going to Frozen Four.

They keep showing replay here at arena just to mock the refs...wonder who controls the replay?
Dirty, we missed you in the east regional this year

CCHA...welcome to my world. I think they feel obligated to call a penalty anytime a player goes to the ice.

Judging by this thread, a bitter Yale fan?

Whatever, this game with UMD andYale shows that Yale was overrated, over their heads, and didn't deserve that PWR. Now we see the real Yale.

ha. hitting too hard is a penalty in HE as well. thought that was a marginal 2 minute minor for charging.. but 5 for whatever he got seemed unnecessary. close game now though.

3rd period refs trying to make it up as Yale with several obvious trips not called while calling against UMD for hitting puck with their stick. Refs should be embarrassed.
Re: East Regional - 3/25 and 3/26 - UMD, Yale, Union and Air Force
In real time, making an immediate call, I would've given 2 (and I believe tUMD scored their 4th goal within that two minutes anyway), and I could understand the 5. HOWEVER, after seeing the replay, it was a bad call. Should have been 2 minutes.
Either way, the WCHA's 4th best team in the tourney pretty much outplayed Yale for the game, and the EZAC was exposed yet again.
WCHA 13
EZAC 3
Including two shutouts.

Yeah you're right, Yale has done nothing against the WCHA over the last two years. UMD played well. Play again tomorrow and Yale is the favorite- unfortunately that's not the way this works and Yale's season is over while UMD moves on to frozen 4.

Yawn. Congratulations to the ECAC exposing themselves as frauds again. Not sure why the hell I ever believed Yale would make the Frozen Four.

Wow - what an embarrassment for the NCAA and college hockey -
Giving credit where it's due, UMDs top line and special teams were dominant and they buried every chance they got, from a short handed 1st period goal to 4 PP goals in the 2nd.
Yale dominated period 1 (both 5on5 and PP) and generally dominated 5on5 throughout but by the time the refs were done ruining the game half way thru the second, nothing mattered. I thought refs let 4 or 5 marginal penalties go on UMD in the first - nothing major but they added up - i would have maybe called one - there were two trips, a hook and face mask that turned a guy's head and body. Even so Yale had several first period PPs with very good pressure, one of which lead to a 2on1 shorthanded beauty by UMD - that was painful given the lopsided play in period one. Yale's one weakness seemed to be faceoffs and that lead to a point shot PP deflection early in the 2nd to give UMD a 2 zip lead. At that point, given the all the missed calls agst UMD in the first, plus the context of a top seed trailing 2-0, I expected the refs to tread cautiously. Instead the refs sent the arena into a mix of fury and disbelief with a series of calls. A marginal hitting from behind on a penalty kill gave UMD a 5on3. Now 3-0. Yale then started hitting - they were ****ed - and within a minute an elbow penalty was called on ONeil by the ref at the other end of the ice while the other ref was just 20 feet from the play. It was as if the refs never played the game and were oblivious to the context. After Yale scored to make it 3-1, Oneil then got tagged with a 5min major. Huh ? on that kill, Yale also picked up a boarding. Again 5on3, Hello ? It's almost impossible to get a boarding call when you are short handed playing a box. Now 5-1. Mid 2nd - GAME OVER.
Yale picked up 2 to make it interesting but anything after period one was just irrelevant.
What we learned. UMD has a goalie that was the MVP. UMD has 17 guys that did nothing special but also were error free. Great job guys. And UMD has 3 guys that are lethal, especially on the PP. Yale looked much better 5on5, but we only saw that for parts of the first. After the refs took over, most of the action was pointless. I do wonder if Allain would, in retrospect, have called a TO after the 3-0 lead. The whole place was shocked and I wonder if his players needed a mental reload. As for the major on ONeil, it seems relevant that he got the elbow call just before - perhaps he needed to cool down. Very few saw the hit and at the point in the second they stopped showing arena replays of all the atrocious calls. The place was livid, but a more aggressive crowd would have littered the ice.
Too bad bc it would have been fun to watch a hockey game, not 20 minutes of hockey, plus 20min of BS, plus 20 of Yale saving face.

UMD completely outclassed Yale, and it was not even close. The referees sucked, but sucked equally for both sides. Yale was not going to win this game because UMD was better, plain and simple. Blaming the refs for losing by this much ( You're not a Yale fan, I get it blah blah blah) is weak sauce. Yale had a great season, but they were exposed tonight.

tUMD outplayed Yale. Even on the Yale 5x3, tUMD shut that down (with some luck, I do admit). In the 3rd, when tUMD turtled for the first 12 minutes, and Yale scored 2, tUMD decided to press again, and ran the show until game's end.
Yale wasn't embarrassed like BC last night, but they were beat through and through. They have a good team......for an EZAC team. tUMD was the 4th best WCHA team in the tourney, btw.
