UNH vs. Maine: The Border War, Part 3

Re: UNH vs. Maine: The Border War, Part 3

Just over 12 left in regulation, still 3-2 UNH.

Ooops -- sorry for the echo post, BearPaw.

The thinking under the traditional rule is that you've already scored your extra attacker goal -- why should you be allowed to score two EAGs for a single 2 minute offense?

I understand that line of thought, but we all know that the vast majority of the time there isn't enough time to get the goalie off and get the extra attacker meaningfully into the play. When a goal is scored on a delayed call, it's more likely to be something done in desperation when under duress, like a D cross-checking someone at the top of the crease but his team gets scored on anyway.

Obviously, the rule-makers in hockey disagreed with me for a long time until this year. They may disagree with me again in the future.

Would be nice if we could win some faceoffs. Haven't seen the official stats, but it seems as though Maine has been winning at least two thirds of them this weekend.

The sort of thing that kills you come playoff time...

Cough. As I was saying. Led directly to the game tying goal. TOG 8:13.

Once again, a D1 goalie has to make that play
 
Re: UNH vs. Maine: The Border War, Part 3

Mike Borisenok puts UNH back up -- off a muffed catch by the goalie? Evidently not a thing of beauty, but I'll take it.

Now 9:09 left, 4-3 UNH.

Am I understanding you OK here? It wouldn't matter if your opponent busted out toward your net if you were the team enjoying the delayed call -- the moment they touched the puck, the whistle would blow. And if you were stupid enough to commit an infraction yourself while enjoying a delayed call, you'd simply have matching penalties...

No. No delayed call when the breakout begins.

What I'm saying is that if you knew that any penalty you committed would be wiped out if the other team scored and you see the other team is sure to get a goal (assumed ENG), why not just cold-cock the guy next to you before they score? Especially in a chippy game? I wouldn't do it, but there are a lot of players who would - and some probably have.

I don't want to derail the score thread. Just throwing it out there while answering the earlier question.

What is Whitehead supposed to say when it doesn't matter if you work hard -- everything will be swept out from under you?
 
Re: UNH vs. Maine: The Border War, Part 3

So umm remember when Maine was known for having great
Goaltenders?

Vividly.

Sorry, but not knowing th chorus to Bob Segers "Old Time Rock'n' Roll" after the last guy nailed Sweet Caroline... tough act to follow!

I wish they'd move the speakers out so if you're sitting in the front you can understand the announcers...

That post was a little tongue-in-cheek. Takes guts to get out there, though.
 
Re: UNH vs. Maine: The Border War, Part 3

The announcers aren't even talking about the game anymore, TF

Tied, will oneill
