New Hampshire v. Vermont (2/22, 2/23)

Re: New Hampshire v. Vermont (2/22, 2/23)

The majority of the UVM penalties were deserved, however I thought the Decenzo hook in the middle of the third was harsh (which led to the game winner). The referee closer to the play didn't make the call....it was made by the referee at center ice, per the UVM radio color commentator. Unfortunately, I sit at the opposite end of the ice so I couldn't see whether it was a hook or if his stick was lifted legally. The UNH falling down rather easily did help the referee make that call. For those watching on TV, was the hook legit?

yes

That was the worst call of the game. The game had a real flow at that point and the UNH player had made his shot attempt and half fell on Decenzo's stick as they passed the goal and fell down. I don't understand why referees feel they need to impact games? Most of the other penalties were legit although I did not see the slash by Brett B. The boarding on Walls behind the net was technically boarding but there is a degree of the UNH player putting themselves in a vulnerable position and turning their back into the hit. Palliota hit on the other hand could have been DQ worthy.

Well, I just learned to always double check the start time...

More like the old college rules and the NHL rule today to prevent the against when the FLOPPERS come to town:

"43.1 Checking from Behind – A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed."

Yea, no, doesnt apply in this case.

My only question is how much practice time does UNH devote to diving?

Weekend totals 5on5 Vermont 4-1 PP's UNH 4-0.

If I was so bad 5 on 5 I would flop to get PP's too.

Well, UVM is pretty bad, if your record is any indication, so I'm guessing you're not Sneddon.
