A final note, as Komey mentioned, do we really want a bye if it means we have to play Air Force in Colorado
Yes, because the way this season has gone for RIT, you do NOT want to give yourselves more chances to lose.

Well then, we need an Army loss and at least an RIT tie tomorrow night . Or If Army ties then RIT needs a win.. An Army win tomorrow night and It doesn’t matter what RIT does. RIT needs to at least finish tied with Army to get the bye as RIT holds the tiebreaker by sweeping Army earlier in the season.. so it comes down to the final regular season game.
Hate to sound like a broken record, but I did say we're not going anywhere with this goaltending.
Brownie makes an incredible effort to give RIT the lead late and then Short gives up two unacceptable goals in less than a minute. Just not good enough.
It wasn't really a whack, what it was, Brown is in the crease and his glove really prevents the goaltender from coming up to make the Save. I don't think Erik meant to he was trying to deflect the puck , but from how the rule been explained to me that's the correct call even if the ref did a poor job of explaining it. If there is any contact that prevents the goaltender from making the Save they are going to wash the goal. I think the rule needs a tweaking, but it is the rule we are living with for now...
Not to mention he is in the blue as the puck comes towards the net, another rule I hate, but...
It was a clear no goal. I don't want to watch a sport where they allow a goal like that. He clearly interfered with the goaltender's ability to make the save inside the crease.
I was under the impression Short was a senior for some reason. The truth is more unfortunate![]()
The overhead view doesn't look like Wildung was prevented from anything as far as I can see. It looks to me like he was distracted by pushing Brown out of the way, but I didn't see any other contact until the puck was already on its way by.

He absolutely was. Brown's glove knocked Wildung's glove down, and that's where the puck went in. There's no controversy whatsoever on this one, unfortunately.
Completely disagree, Wildung pushes off on Brown first and in no way was he going to make that save his reaction was late anyways.
Goals should be disallowed only if an attacking player, either by positioning or by contact, impairs the goalkeeper’s ability to defend the goal.
If an attacking player has been pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending player and causes contact with the goalkeeper, such contact will not be deemed contact initiated by the attacking player for purposes of this rule, provided the attacking player has made a reasonable effort to avoid such contact.
Rights of the Goaltender – The rules must protect the goaltender and allow him or her to defend the goal, within the goal crease, without interference from an attacking player. This includes allowing a goaltender to move effectively and efficiently within the crease, as well as being able to see the puck unimpeded by a player who has established a position in the crease.
Rights of the Attacking Player – Attacking players who are outside of the crease have some rights to the space they occupy. In cases where an attacking player makes contact with goaltender’s equipment that extends outside the plane of the crease (e.g., glove, blocker, stick, etc.), provided that the attacking player does not initiate distinct and deliberate actions aimed at impeding the goaltender’s use of their equipment (e.g., slashing the goaltender’s glove), this contact should be considered incidental and goals scored on such plays shall be allowed.
If an attacking player establishes a significant position within the goal crease, so as to obstruct the goalkeeper’s vision and impair his ability to defend his goal, and a goal is scored, such goals shall be disallowed. For this purpose, a player establishes a significant position within the crease when, in the referee’s judgment, his/her body, or a substantial portion thereof, is within the goal crease for more than an instantaneous period of time.
Role of the Official – Officials are encouraged to use their discretion in determining the effect of an attacking player making contact with a goaltender or with goaltender equipment. Referees are instructed to give more significant consideration to the degree and nature of the contact than to the exact location of the goalkeeper at the time of the contact. If, in the opinion of the official, the incidental contact had no effect on the goaltender’s ability to defend the goal, a goal may be allowed in such situations.
73.5 Overall Philosophy - Officials must use a philosophy of “when in doubt, the goal must count.” Unless the official is certain that a goal was scored through an illegal action (e.g., physically hindering the goalkeeper’s ability to move freely while in the crease and defend the goal), the goal must count. Games that have video replay available may correct egregious errors, but the standard of evidence required to disallow a goal is significant.
To be fair, Brubacher must have thought Jack Riley had a force shield around him, because he didn't get within two feet of Riley the whole time Riley had the puck skating to the front of the net.
This is way I say soft defensive play has been RIT's biggest problem.
I can understand if you do not like the rule, but that is what we are living with and until it change I have to say the officials made the correct call...
Who said anything ... ANYTHING ... about not liking the rule?
