Hahaha......that was a good one.

It's hard to find rules covering shootouts.

The only explanation I can think of is that after the initial "save" the puck was nudged forward and in by the Gopher shooter as she veered off away from the goal. But to me it looked like the puck never made contact with her skate.

A possible explanation would be that the officials considered the puck to have stopped in Sauve's equipment. Once the puck is stopped the play is over. Sauve then moved to exit the crease and in their opinion it was that movement that provided the impetus to move the puck over the line into the goal. If that's the way they saw it the correct call is no goal.

There is no doubt the officiating in the WCHA is inconsistent. If you watched the broadcast on Fox of St. Cloud an Mankato, you saw two huge blown calls. Both announcers couldn't believe it. This was a big deal as this game was regionally televised. Two teams battling it out in a great game only to have the outcome decided by the stripes. Unfortunate that this was in front of so many people watching. This stuff needs to get cleaned up if they want to be taken seriously.

Why? The same crap goes on in the men's game & in the NHL and those are taken seriously.
