It helps too if you score goals, which of course your team decided not to do. That should get you far next weekend! :rolleyes:

Wisconsin. I hate you for not winning for me.

It is my understanding the rule prohibits ANY contact to the goalie--no matter where he is on the ice. They both were going for the puck, and Smith ran into him. If that was a Huskie running into Wisco's goalie, I would be more upset that my guy didn't evade the goaltender. But I would expect a two minute penalty.

The thing is both players had lunged in such a way neither were going to be able to turn away from eachother as they went for the puck, what was Smith to do at that point? The laws of physics made the collision unavoidable. It's hard to call goalie interference when the guy is virtually down on the ice already.

I thought they let too much interference go yesterday overall.

Yeah, I think the call was technically right but it's still a tough call to swallow. I know if it had been the other way around I would have been frustrated also.

Lee freakin saved our bacon yesterday. I know I for one have been calling for him to be the man all year long so it's good to see him step up. ;) :D
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I had to laugh when a wisconsin player decided to hit our player in the head. should he get three games for that.:D
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I loved the guy sitting near us who didn't think that was a penalty.

A play like that is as much interference on the goalie as the player, maybe more on the goalie as he is way out of the net. Incidental contact IMO. I would not have wanted it called if the tables were turned.

If anything, it was a contact to the head penalty on Smith, but goaltender interference was a garbage call.

Despite outshooting St. Cloud State, 37-22, the No. 3 Wisconsin men's hockey team (24-10-4) fell to the No. 6 Huskies (23-12-5) in the WCHA Final Five semifinal Friday afternoon at the Xcel Energy Center. The Badgers will take on the loser of the Denver and North Dakota semifinal game tomorrow at 2 p.m. for third place.

Way too many penalities for Bucky in this one. You cant expect to beat a team like SCSU when you are constantly giving them a man advantage.
Oh well, on to Denver!!!
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

On the goaltender interference, you can't expect our goalie to get wiped out and you to have a free shot at an open net, that's what the penalty is meant to do, make sure we don't get scored on off of you running our goalie.

On an interesting side note, I've been informed that if UW beats or ties DU, then a win would give us the last 1 seed. Playoffs make strange bedfellows as I've cheered against UND twice and now will be cheering for UW, but I'm a greedy SOB and whatever helps us.

Go Bucky!

Both teams had 5 penalties and iirc most of the early ones were on SCSU.

UW played poorly offensively for 2 1/2 periods. No flow, no entering with a head of steam with numbers.

The puck spent most of the first two periods in the SCSU zone, UW just had no answer for Lee.

btw - I knew SCSU wasn't big but it seemed man for man UW had a big size advantage and was surprised by the disparity.
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I think Wisconsin was hurt most by not being able to win a faceoff.

Your goalie did not get wiped out, he came out of the crease trying to make a play on the puck where he had a collision with a Badger also trying to make a play on the puck.
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

That goalie interference call was tough to swallow. I know that's correct by the letter of the law, but that's a 50/50 puck that both players were lunging for in open ice - and Lee was waaaay outside of the crease. If a regular skater makes that play, it's not a penalty.

It's also not like Lee was checked down - he's the one who put himself in that position by going for the puck.

I didn't get to see the game, but I can tell you that SCSU led in the shot chart and the scoring chances prior to Roe leaving the game. I'm not sure how your account could be completely accurate.
 
Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

Here's the relevant rules on the goaltender interference.

1-12. The goalkeeper’s privileged area is an area bounded in the rear by the end of the rink, in front by an imaginary line connecting the end zone spots, and on the sides by imaginary lines from the end zone spots to the end boards.

6-29-e. The privileged area (defined in Rule 1-12) includes the goal crease. The goalkeeper may not be body checked in this area (Rule 6-6-b). Incidental contact, at the discretion of the referee, may be permitted while the goalkeeper is in the act of playing the puck outside the goal crease. The goalkeeper is allowed to freeze the puck in this area to prevent a goal.

My opinion? The call was blown--but I've only seen it live, and not on replay.

It can be accurate because I watched the game (19 rows up between a blue and red line) and not a stat sheet, which doesn't tell the whole story of what played out on the ice.
