tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

Wow. THAT was some terrible officiating. I didn't realize they let Randy Schmidt back on the ice. :(
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

WCHA refs throw another away for the Badgers it makes me want to get my neighbors dog who is annoying and hurt it. Ironically the dog is a bulldog and my neighbor is old and blind just like the refs. Hahahahaha
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

...the refs blew multiple calls in OT, and at least one where UMD should have gotten a PP.

The dogs have a GREAT skating team. they deserved the win. UW and refs. good teams overcome that. UW didn't.

the goalies really sucked. Bennett looked clueless, Gudmanson couldn't stop easy shots, and the 1st UMD goalie was just as clueless as Bennett. Crandall didn't get tested enough really.

for UW as a whole

wow - I'll post that chit in the UW thread, no sense wasting UMD fans time w/it here

good game dogs, hope UW can salvage a split

As a nonpartial observer, I thought the non-call was the right call on Connolly's "trip" of the Badger player (Gardiner?). That game was insane to watch. Terrible goaltending.

you may be right on that. I'd like to see that one again as I was too ****ed initially to see it impartially

if that trip was part of the follow-through from poking the puck away then I don't see how a ref could really call that...not sure of the rules on that but it would see if you poke the puck away w/the stick and are falling down and happen to swipe the puck carrier, well, the puck was already gone then... I don't know... UW can play MUCH better than they did tonight so it really sucks to have this kind of outcome
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

That was a brutal non call in OT, as was the "elbow" penalty on Smith that should've been a 5 minute contact to the head. And what the heck were they reviewing on the last goal??? WCHA refs suck... even more than UW/tUMD goaltending.

Andringa's guess was the ref's were trying to find a way to call the goal KNOWING (andringa's words) that they'd blown a 2min trip (but I have NEVER seen a goal reversed based on a missed penalty)...I don't know.

that kind of call (tripping) is not reviewable anyway so they should have called the goal and IF they indeed felt bad about a missed call skated over and manned up to Eaves

FWIW (also), if it was the gophers that were on the losing end of that game, I'd be uber****ed as well. Maybe the next day I'd have calmed down enough but I just think it was a clean play.
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

That non-call was awful, but you're right, the officiating sucked overall. The thing that bugs me about it (and I'm viewing this through my red glasses), was it directly led to the winning score. Refs blow calls all the time, but when it happens like that, it's hard to take if you're on the losing side.

I thought UMD looked brilliant at times, but seemed disinterested others. I really thought the Badgers were going to be crushed early on, and then again in that flurry of scoring in the second.

It was a weird game. Was surprised it felt like Bucky came out very flat the 1st 5 minutes. With the 2 previous losses I felt as if the dogs would need to hang on. Then the dogs get owned on the forecheck and can't win a draw, giving up 3 straight. Dogs then score in bunches as they do. The downfall of a dog shot at a national title will be our A) Brutal goaltending, and B) our times in the game where we get lazy and fold like lawn chairs when we are being forechecked.

Will someone tell USCHO if they really want to be the "premier" college hockey site to actually stop having their site crash every game night after the games are over? What a joke!

It has happened. tUMD scored a goal on a breakout from the bench after a penalty (as you all know, at the DECC the penalty box is right next to the UMD bench). The goal was disallowed and tUMD was assessed a "too many men on the ice" penalty.

That's nearly word for word what Posick was saying on the radio. But he went on to say that two wrongs wouldn't make a right and all that.
