Re: Oswego vs Plattsburgh "The Whiteout game"
I was at the game as well and I agree with your judgment on the penalty shot discussion. I didn't see the whole "spit on the towel" thing, I assume they showed this on the video board? Oh well thats not important. More importantly here for some people is your last comment, which I really do agree with, to an extent, and I do not understand why they do it. Firstly, the camera crew always seems to try an embarrass the opposing team somehow; showing the opposing teams' scratched players on the kiss cam for example. I do not think they meant to place two females on the kiss cam in an attempt to 'embarrass' the Plattsburgh faithful though. I don't know if thats what you meant but I figured I'd throw it out there. They should strickly stick with male/female "couples" because it truly shows the nature of the cameramen and WTOP to willingly show two females on the "kiss cam." I might get beat down for this but whats to say two males could not be shown??? They have never ever done it but will willingly show two females on a regular basis.
ok, 2 points I want to make. I agree with pretty much everyone on their analysis. the penalty shot that was called, should not have been called as the defender touched the puck before he touched the Laker skater. an OSU fan that was sitting just in front of me agreed with me. however the second breakaway should have been called for a penalty shot. the other point isn't really a point, but more of a question..... when complaining about the Plattsburgh fan spitting into the towel, first off, she didn't really spit into it, secondly why would you put a "kiss cam" on 2 girls standing next to each other? every other "couple" that I saw was male/female, except for the 2 Cardinal fans that people are now complaining about.
