There were definitely a few times in the third where it looked like they were pulling back and hoping to ride out the lead, but I thought overall they kept decent pressure up through the end. But yes, Reilly Smith was working incredibly hard out there. That 10-15 seconds in the final minutes where he single-handedly kept the puck in the Michigan zone, forcing Hunwick to stay in net and frustrating the entire Michigan squad, was an amazing individual effort.

Excellent effort by Miami tonight battling a ton of adversity...2-0 deficit and two disallowed goals. As much as Michigan "fans" complain about the '10 NCAA Regional, Miami got shafted out of a victory tonight (not that any of them will admit as such). The tie and shootout win will have to do. Miami is now 8-3-1 in the last 12 against the Wolverines.

Paulazzo. Da Fu#%!?!?!?
 
Re: Official 2011-2012 Miami Season Thread: Short People Leave Big Shoes to Fill

What was the reason for the overturned goal? Something about the skate directing the puck in the goal, or the BIGGS entering the crease before the puck (I know this rule was overturned in the NHL, but not sure about NCAA).

Either way, it was great to see this team with some fire power (now if they could fix those clearing errors). I'm hoping to see that Paulazzo goal on youtube.

Most on here are sad that the Big Ten Hockey Conference will threaten the fabric of college hockey. I'm sad because it's going to take away our free wins against Michigan every year. Woooooooooooooooooooooop

As pretty as that is, is it legal? I thought the goal can't count if forward progression stops. It's a beauty for the highlight reels and I'll take the point, but just sayin'...

Here's a better one posted by Steve Baker:

The spin-o-ramma type move is allowed as long as it involves a continues motion.

The worst of the two was for a quick whistle as the puck was loose and trickling over the line. #fail

The ref was right there. He could have called it off if it was somehow "illegal." Clearly, it wasn't.

Does anyone know how USCHO decides which games to cover? It just seems odd to me that they chose to forego covering a series between two of the larger programs - and one of the better rivalries - in the country.

Well this was quite a weekend, I would have been happy with just a split.

The freshmen are starting to look noticeably more comfortable, which is great. Czarnik in particular looks to be developing quite the rapport with Smith, they were really on the same page the whole weekend.

If I saw it that way I would admit it. I didn't hear or see ONE Miami fan complain or admit that the wrong call was made in 2010 which, compared to a regular season game is night and day. Please don't play that card. Also consider the officials- Wilkins and Aaron are probably the most scrutinized in the CCHA.

We'll see ya in February in our house. Let's see how many "free" wins you can get then.

"Free" wins? We got hosed on two disallowed goals so I think two points is one short of what we should have had. I'm sure the team will cherish the chance to play the Big Ten Hockey Conference's finest in their house in February. No doubt we'll see a more complete Miami team in February than what you saw last weekend. Michigan should hope for the same.
