UCHC Playoffs

Re: UCHC Playoffs

I certainly wouldn't swear to it, but my take (at that moment) was that when it went off the Naz goalie's paddle, it deflected exactly into the crossbar/post junction, and bounced back away from the cage lickety-split.

(Thing is, The Aud didn't show a replay, and it tends to do that when the replay supports the call on the ice.)

Not to re-open that stale can of worms, but I just don't understand why the refs aren't allowed to use the video where it's available. That certainly doesn't disadvantage any other team in any other venue, and I suspect that all of D-3 will employ this technology soon. (It's cheap!)

Correct, it did not go in. However, it was the middle of the crossbar, straight down and out. Only the GJ has a better view than me at that end. :)

It definitely didnt go in. Doesnt matter regardless. Shocked by Entelisanos actions, should be a scratch tomorrow. Naz cant skate with this team. Im predicting a big win for utica tomorrow, 8-1

I don't foresee a healthy scratch. Naz is a clutch-and-grab team and JT fits right in there. As you say, they can't skate with Utica, so they need to bend the rules.

Wish you wouldn't have said 8-1, though! ;)

What did he do ?
 
Re: UCHC Playoffs

Wild ending......Utica 3 - Naz 2

Championship trophy will be awarded Saturday in Utica.
 
Re: UCHC Playoffs

What did he do ?

He committed several slashing violations, only one of which was called, and generally was a an instigator all night long.

Furthermore, he ran the Utica goalie, and was rewarded via a blocker in his grill several times in rapid succession (nice job by Baggs there, while on his back!) and two UC players immediately joined the fray inside the cage. 4 minors were handed-out, and JT received 2 of them. He deserved both, if not the gate.

He played like a punk last night, but to his credit, he redeemed himself today. Played a clean game and hugged the entire UC squad as the teams shook hands.

That's the JT I remember.
 
Re: UCHC Playoffs

And we move on to the semifinals: #5 Naz vs. #1 Utica & #3 Stevenson vs. #2 Wilkes. Going to be some good games.

My predictions:

#5 Naz vs. #1 Utica: Game 1: Utica wins 6-1. Game 2: Utica wins 3-2. Utica moves on to finals

#3 Stevenson vs #2 Wilkes: Game 1: Stevenson wins 4-3 in OT. Game 2: Wilkes wins 3-1. Wilkes wins mini-game 3-2 and moves on to finals.

We'll see how these predictions hold up haha.

Yeesh, looking back at these, I guess I thought this through enough haha. Didn't get it 100% correct though ;)

Championship Predictions: #2 Wilkes vs. #1 Utica

Game 1: Utica wins 4-1

Game 2: Utica survives again 4-3 and is the 2020 UCHC Conference Tournament Champion.

We'll see (again) how these hold up haha. Either way, it should be another good series. Looking forward to it!
