The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

Gibbons hit was a clean hit, borderline late, but the hit itself was clean. Watch the replay. It's shoulder to chest, no hands or stick high. If anything a late hit/interference could have been called, but it wasn't.

The point is, you know nothing about hockey. That hit was clearly a roughing penalty.

Listen a-hole, I said it should have been called interference. Try reading before posting. I'm not even gonna respond to the rest of your nonsense. Are you shooting for dumbest BU fan on here?

i'm sure every fanboy will watch intently, with notebook in hand, recording the time, victim, and rulebook # of every atrocity committed by BC last night. of course, they will also change the rulebook and invent cockamamie explanations to explain away the calls against bu that were erroneous.

TBA's on it

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

I'm not sure if it was late or not, once I saw him starting to line up the hit I was focused on that so I'm not sure how much time passed between the puck being out of there and Gibbons coming in with the hit. I'd have to see the replay. The hit itself was perfect though.

The point is, you know nothing about hockey. That hit was clearly a roughing penalty. The kid left his feet and he hit up high. Gryba was upset because that wasn't the first time BC was getting away with murder. When the entire lower bowl of the Garden sees a replay and yells at the refs for being dimwits, you know they made the wrong call.

FWIW, I was sitting next to one of the longest tenured ref's in Hockey East at the game last night, and after watching the replays, he said the Gibbons hit was "a good clean hit."

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

They're under 500 because they can't hit a wide open net to save their @ sses. This game was typical in that they blew way too many golden opportunities and it proved fatal in a one goal game. These are set ups that Wilson, Yip, etc bury last year but the Saponaris of the world send wide constantly.

The D looked bad too, but as the announcers correctly said they were scoring for every one they gave up (several atrocious breakdowns by Shatty, Escobido and Fidel).

Also, I doubt Gryba was too broken up about the hit and would be more than happy to give the BC player a beating behind the arena after the game if he did. Most likely he was trying to get a call since BU desperately needed a power play, which is smart hockey.

Oh, the old "I'm going to get ****ed up by one of the smallest players on the ice so I can draw a penalty play." Did Jackie draw that up in practice?

Hey but what do I know, its "smart hockey."

Please man, he hit him to hard. Definitely roughing, you could probably throw in an intent to injury penalty too.

Listen a-hole,

Did someone **** in your cheerios this morning, owlboy? I haven't seen you this upset since BC rejected your application.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

My two cents:

I thought the officiating last night was atrocious. There were bad calls and bad non-calls both ways, but, trying to be as fair and unbiased as I can, I thought the vast majority of the bad calls went against BU. Colby Cohen barely touched Joe Whitney, but somehow Whitney's Olympic-quality dive managed to draw a penalty. Chiasson's interference simply looked like a collision with Whitney in which, as physics would dictate, the smaller guy ended up on his behind. Chiasson's shove after maybe should've been a penalty, but there's no way the actual call was a penalty. And Pereira's "crosscheck"... he had one hand on his stick. As far as I know, a crosscheck involves both hands.

As for the Gibbons hit, I thought it was perfectly clean. Like Joe, I didn't really notice if it was late or not, but I definitely didn't think he left his feet or caught Gryba up high.

All that said, I think the officiating played a role in the outcome only in the sense that the Terriers let it get in their heads and lost focus. Shattenkirk said as much himself after the game. None of those three penalty calls I referenced led to goals for BC. The refs were bad, and I do think they hurt BU more than BC, but they definitely weren't THE reason BU lost (although I think you can definitely make the argument that they were A reason).

The real question is, if he's one of the longest tenured refs in HE, he must be so bad at his job that he can't get a promotion, so why should we believe him? Hell, even Conrad Hache got promoted and left us, what does that say about this guy

Was it Bunyon? Because he's just as much of a sieve as Benedetto and Gravallese.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

The refs didn't disallow a single BC goal... they must have been ECAC refs in disguise!

 

[J.D.]

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

Bunyon should never be involved in a big game. It's as simple as that. Gravallese and Benedetto were the refs I was hoping for.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

As a fan with no real rooting interest in the game (I was kind of pulling for bc, but at the end I just wanted both teams to rack up some goals so it was close and Rawlings could have a shot at the Eberly), I thought the officials were fine. There were a couple of calls that should have been penalties, but the penalties chosen were completely wrong (a roughing that was really interference, etc), which probably made it seem worse than it was. Gibbons hit seemed clean to me, but I couldn't have argued if they had whistled him for interference since he wasn't playing the puck at all.

Bunyon should never be involved in any game. It's as simple as that.

FYP.

It was. IMO, they're the best three in Hockey East, but you all seem to be a lot more "knowledgeable" of the ref's and rules than I am .

As a BU student, I too usually hope Benedetto is handling the Terriers' big games, too

Also, I do recall seeing Gibbons leave his feet a little for the Gryba hit, but it was pretty mild, and as has been said, he'd need about six phone books to stand on just to get near Gryba's chin. That's a good no call in my book.

1 more goal or 4 less shots and they would have tied.

Yup, it was close.

I didn't realize Muse made as many saves as he did in the opener. I thought the 3rd goal put it over the edge at the time, but obviously not. Muse was fantastic, that's easily the best he's ever played in the Beanpot.
