Oh geez that’s terrible… not even a breakaway of sorts… and to end up the game winner.
The guys seemed a bit deflated after that happened.

Yep those HE points we dont get early seem to catch us in the end when we hit the big HE portion of the schedule. Glad we could tie it up but couldn't solve their goalie and were double teamed most of the night. Typical UNH game at UVM...

Which bonehead made that play?!? Anyone ask the coaching staff where he got that bright idea???
Someone should be sitting in the stands tomorrow, how else to you teach discipline to your guys ...
JB/flagup17 asked what was CALLED last night…. And that was what was called. What TRANSPIRED was this…
Our player (Newcombe, I believe - I initially thought Carr) was closing on Loiselle (who was carrying puck up the boards) and the small (maybe 2’) piece of lumber was in between them. As Newcombe tried to play the puck (at this point being like 2 feet away from Loiselle), he slapped the lumber - methinks very much inadvertently - and the call was made. It was as if the ref had been waiting 25 years to make this call to show his rule book prowess. Probably should have swallowed the whistle.
Was not nefarious/intentionally dangerous on our player’s part, in my eyes.

I googled the rule, 55. The AI results are torn on if a penalty shot was warranted. AI thinks it needed to be a break away or clear possession that was an scoring threat. Otherwise 2 min minor IF an intentional act.
I haven't gone back to the video but I didn't catch the broken stick part at all and the play was on the boards in the corner....
What additionally frustrates me was the (UVM) announcers noting that the faceoff after the penalty shot goal was delayed as Souza wanted an explanation.... Ummm seems a bit late, you have the fit (throw sticks, water bottles, stand on dashers) BEFORE the penalty shot happens
