BU was the beneficiary of a goal being waived off? The devil you say?

Gorgeous tip by Gaudet for the GWG.
Man, Cornell had A LOT of good scoring chances and made our D look foolish a bunch of times. Surprised they were only able to score once. Thank you Millan?
I don't understand why the concept of penalty+embellishment is so hard to grasp. Why can't both players be in the wrong? That's like saying if two guys get in a fight, only the one who threw the first punch should get the roughing penalty. Embellishment (after legit penalties) is most definitely a slippery slope to diving (after non-penalties) creeping into the sport, and nobody wants that. Skate hard, keep your legs moving, play through the penalty, and leave the drama to the Italian soccer players.
(I'm a Cornell fan but did not watch the game and have not seen video of the incident in the Cornell-BU game; this is just my general opinion on the topic)
bu hasn't been to lynah since nov 2002. i really, really want to go (which means these stupid msg games are pizzing me off to no small degree!!!)
[and bu got smoked that weekend... we need to go back and right that wrong]
You're kind of proving my point - diving creeps into the game if the refs don't have an option to call both fouls. In soccer, it's one or the other, so there is a significant potential reward for a player who embellishes what was otherwise marginal contact. If soccer refs had the option to call both as fouls, I would expect to see less diving in soccer (though obviously, they'd have to actually change the rule before we'd know for sure).The soccer analogies are interesting. The reason I find them interesting is because soccer officials do not simultaneously call a penalty on a defending player and a diving/embellishment penalty on the offensive player. It's one or the other. Soccer, the NFL, the NBA do not have such calls. Only hockey chooses to live in such twilight.
PS, I don't believe that call had anything to do with the outcome of the game. This is just a side conversation.
I just hope Cornell's coaching staff figures out a way to keep winning while suppressing Ferlin's stats a bit so we can hang onto him for 3+ years...![]()

Jeez, it took you long enough to get in this thread with that. No lie, as soon as they called it no goal I knew this would come up. What took you so long????
i had a problem figuring out which disallowed goal that helped BU would be brought upbut i guess that one fits the bill.............that was a goal, this at MSG wasn't, of course IMO
