THE 2015 BEANPOT.. ain't no deflate-gate

Re: THE 2015 BEANPOT.. ain't no deflate-gate

I love when the refs get blamed for a games outcome which get a lifers and cry babies like Westy do all the time. There are 100 plays,calls or decisions in the course of 60 or more minutes that decides a game and it goes both ways. One call or play doesn't decide a game unless it's throwing on the one yard line. ��

putz, i have not said that the refs cost NU the game or anything close to that. i have no freakin clue who would have won the game. all i said was it was a bad call, which most if not all people are accepting. from a PK perspective, leaving the whole side of the ice open for Grizz-lick is not what you're looking for either.

If that wasn't the most tightly contested Beanpot of all time, it's got to be close. 3 OT games, including one that went 2 OT, plus a one-goal game decided in the last 90 seconds....doesn't get much better than that. That was college hockey at its best.

Looking thru history... 1987 had three overtime games, but one of them was the consolation game and the early game on the first Monday was 6-3 to BU.

1965 saw the two semifinals go in to OT and the final was a 1-goal game, BC over BU.

Other than that, there's really no comparison. No other Beanpot saw all 4 games decided by 1 goal.

Madigan had every right (and even an obligation) to do that, considering the circumstances. DQ would have done the same or worse. Can you even imagine the explosion that would have occurred if JP was coaching?

agree with most of this. just haven't seen enough of quinn yet to know what he would do

Westy getting under your skin is like shooting fish in a barrel . Would have loved to seen the hissy fit you threw when BU won. The fact that someone who didnt go to any of the Beanpot schools cared so much about the game is problematic (for you).

Re: THE 2015 BEANPOT.. ain't no deflate-gate

if turning off the tv and then saying when i saw it live i thought it was a legit penalty was a hissy fit...guilty as charged! i agree with you though, simply enjoying college hockey is a real problem. it should be prohibited to certain people.

I'm basically going to sign off on this, because it's not worth the time or effort to answer the question, but....

did you account for the possibility of empty netters? I think we can all consider a 5-3 ENG to be a one-goal game for "nostalgia purposes," right?

DQ would check his hair in case anyone was gonna take a picture!

The first game was BU over NU in triple OT; the second was BC over H in single OT. Both games 5-4. I think we left the old Garden around 1 a.m. For my money, the best-played first round ever.

Did this happen or are you just shooting from the hip

I wasn't addressing last night specifically. But yes, I've personally seen this happen in marquee games. And more than once

The poster who made that comment is a former referee with many years of experience on the ice as well as dealing with interfering supervisors.

I can't speak for everyone, but I just hate it when an umpire narrows the strike zone in extra innings, with the bases loaded, and the meat of the opponent's lineup (a.k.a. Eichel's line) coming to the plate.

I thought the luck derived from the deal with the devil ended when parker retired! But several times, following an Eichel line shift, the annoying ice sweepers held up the game while they manicured the ice. When they retreated to their warren, the Eichel line was right back out there for an extra shift. To be fair, NU also has been known to take advantage of this to get Roy some extra shifts. I have come to detest the destruction of flow and momentum that these interruptions cause. If I wanted a break every few minutes I'd watch a baseball game (or an NFL game full of lengthy commercials). Once or possibly twice each period would be a reasonable compromise, but these characters seem to have a quota to fill, and in order to do so, they stopped play three times in the waning minutes of the first period last night . Maintainance break??? Give us a break!!

That triple OT game was my first Beanpot in 1965. Fred "The Bear" Basse sloshed through the puddles on the ice to beat Gary Thornton on a breakaway. I should have gone to the library that night - and stayed there. That was the beginning of the pain. My head is starting to throb again.

You mean the ice sweepers who came out during the already-scheduled TV timeouts?

Maybe Quinn planned his line changes around them to double shift Eichel, that'd be brilliant if true/possible.

But how could he know the ice sweepers would end up taking like 15 minutes on each sweep? That's so unfair.

It was Grzelcyk's dad, he came out and wasted time whenever Matt gave him the signal.

I can accept that. You are being your reasonable and sensible self.

I realize there are (too many, too long) TV timeouts. Were the pesty sweepniks inactive during the consolation game, which had no tv coverage (for good reason)?

From what I remember they didn't come out much at all in the consolation game. But the breaks are already built-in to the game, so why not have them come out for two minutes and improve the ice surface? This had absolutely zero influence on either team's chances of winning.

I've meant to ask about these timeouts (non-televised). Where did they come from, and why?

Hockey East rule, apparently before the season coaches are given the option to decide whether there'll be mandated timeouts at under 12, 8, and 4 for all of their home games. This year Quinn elected to go with it. I don't know who else, if any, does as well.
