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

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

BC fan here. Caught the end of the game. Those refs should be suspended. My only wish was they showed Eaves on the bench. Was he going nuts?
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

I have to agree with much of what's been posted here (plus a few of my own thoughts):

  1. That was a rough call
  2. The officiating wasn't that great overall, so it's not much of an excuse
  3. They couldn't reverse that non-call if they tried, so I still don't understand the review.
  4. I suppose you could review things that aren't judgement calls and can be shown with concrete evidence (offsides? too many men on the ice?), but that's not in the rules from what I know
  5. Yuck, what an uneven performance by UW. Hard to maintain a presence in the zone when the passing is as bad as it was a few times tonight.
  6. At least most of UW's goals were pretty sweet. Good hard work on the boards and some good positioning.
  7. Even still: was that a good offensive game or just a terrible defensive game? I'm inclined towards the latter.

I'm going to have to find a way to get a replay.

but having said that, it was a goofy effed up and yet somewhat fun game to watch.

kudos to UMD, and UW better **** well get their heads into it (goalie's and D I'm looking at you), man the eff up and win tomorrow

Just got to that point on the public television replay. They're speculating that maybe they were searching for a kicking motion? Trip or no, that's a save Bennett needs to make.

Quite a few of the goals tonight should have been saved. By my count, on no fewer than 3 UMD goals were Goody/Bennett in position and making contact with the puck, only to find it squirt in. Sums it up nicely for UW: partial efforts not getting the job done.
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

UMD was clearly offside on that last rush into Wisconsin's end too, so that was another blown call that would have changed the outcome.
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

I'm willing to bet the first 3 or 4 PP's of the game go to Wisconsin tonight. Missed call yes, but that doesn't mean you make up for it the next night, but the WCHA is notorious for that.

That would be the asbolute minimum as far as the proper thing to do, but I have a sinking feeling they might just dig in to prove they think they were right and look to screw the Badgers even further. Is it truly right? No. The right thing would have been to call the penalty everyone including them saw. However, as someone who has officiated a ton of games in several sports, I'll tell you there is no worse feeling than knowing you just handed a team a result it didn't earn. The good ones fess up and find a way to make it up. The bad ones get almost belligerent and make it worse. We'll find out quickly which category this crew falls under.

Proper thing to do? Are you serious? This is a NCAA sports league. You don't make up for calls the next night. Somewhere in the past your squad has benefited from something like this. Would you feel the same way?

To top it off, 2 minutes earlier Mike Connolly is in a prime scoring area right in front and has his hands chopped down. So just from that alone, the non call with 10 seconds to go was status quo and evened it up. We buried it this time. Lets also talk about the 1st minute of overtime when our guy was on a breakout and gets hauled down with no call. Difference is UMD took advantage of their non call, UW wasn't able to.


If you ref in a manor of "i'll make it up to you next time" by all means please point us to who you ref for so we can let them know they have a very "unethical" ref working for them who should be removed immediatly.
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

I feel the non call was the right he clearly made contact with the puck before he took the other guy out which is a clean play and it reminds me of a goal last year at the DECC when our player skated into a ref (who was clearly out of position) while trying to chase down a guy on a break away so it happens so stop complaining and if you think your team deserve a tie then they need to come out tonight and take it.

Beg your pardon, but I have a feeling you are either officiating pee wee games or are a ****-poor ref or both.
 
Re: tUMD @ UW (Nov. 19th and 20th)

re: THE CALL.

let's forget it. Whether it was a good non-call or atrocious non-call...

I saw one replay.

while it ****ed me off initially what stands out more is the save...or let's just say Bennett played that **** poorly and the game falls more on his lax play there than a non-call on Connolly.

I don't think the refs cost UW jack. the goalies on the other hand let in about 3 soft goals. that is the end of the story really.

Amen to that. You don't fix a bad call with another. And you sure as hell don't say a **** thing until the game is over.

I agree with this. Terrible non call, but don't give up 6 goals if you want to win (or tie).

Have to admit though that it was pretty deflating to have it end that way.

Entertaining back and forth game and refreshing to not have any (many) flying elbows this weekend.

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.

Too many men is reviewable, as are penalties that cause injury. All other penalties are not.
