NCAA Hockey Rulebook Section 26.4-b

when it's true.

And in this case, anyone with eyeballs knows, for a fact, that it's true.

I don't give a shit about poor form. This is the one instance where not one sane person can argue that we got royally fucked by the referees, in turn costing us the game

Here is the other case:

Human error.

Seriously. Everyone. Get over it. Yes, the calls were bad.

Michigan lost. You'll get up tomorrow and life will go on. So will the Wolverine hockey team. And these games will be played again, in the fall, next year, and for hundreds of years. And referees will make more mistakes.

Let it go. Nothing you say will change the score in the record books.

Take it like a man

We all know that when the ref loses sight of the puck, they are to blow the play dead. We can only assume that is what happened on the (non)goal in the 1st OT. What upsets me to no end is that Miami's 2nd goal of the game was scored in the exact same manner. How could the ref see the puck under Hunwick's pad? Two things should have happened, either 1) Mimai's 2nd goal should not have happened (Mich wins 2-1) or 2) based on the previous events, Michigans' OT goal should have counted. The ref blew the whistle quicker than a "Spartan whore drops her drawers"

Just like everyone else... They are like goddamned weathermen... Nobody gets in trouble when the call for sun and it pours... The only way to hold them responsible Is to let people in the media ask th questions and call them out... I know the media isn't perfect but they would make sure people are held responsible... Bc we'd know by name, who keeps screwing up.

i just hate being a referee is the one profession in the world where there are no reprecussions for fucking up... i'm not saying the ref should be fired for something like that but there should at least be some form of punishment. the way it stands currently, there is ZERO incentive for a ref to make correct calls during a game (so long as he can semi-justify the ones he does make, such as saying "i couldnt see the puck")

I would of waited to blow the whistle until I had sight of the puck because that shot was loose and it remined me of a goal that won Detroit the cup back in 2008. Game 6: Zetterberg takes a shot on Fleury that slips through his five hole, its loose, Fleury falls back on it, it passes the red line and its a goal. Had that official had been behind or to the left of it mark my words Michigan wins but he blows his whistle way way way too soon to make the call. It's all about position on these shots but this was just too obivous to not count it in. I am going to wright a letter to the CCHA too by the way because we have been screwed out of more calls than anybody in the CCHA this season and this shit has to stop before somebody is cheated out of a national title.

regarding the call of the (non)goal needs to be changed. That's what the replay should be there for, to make the correct call. The fact that a referee blew the whistle a split-second before the goal went in did not affect the result of the play. That should be an overrideable play. Those kids were cheated tonight and they deserved and earned the right to go on in the tournament.

No need to "get over it" until we see the Redskins lose to BC at Ford Field. Join me in my maize and blue as I cheer the lines: For Boston, for Boston, We sing our proud refrain!
(Yes it makes me sick, but it's all I got right now.)

this is emblematic why NCAA Hockey should get rid of the single elimination structure to the tournament.

Don't say that. Now you're making me feel like we were jinxed by the gods because I said the same thing about the Basketball Tourney, and everyone said- "What? And ruin the excitement?!?" And now the injustice of single game elimination is biting us on the ass.

But then, this is a thousand times worse, because they either gave Miami a goal they shouldn't have, or took away one we should have. We won the game. We just didn't have more goals.

My dong has been cross-checked. I've taken a high stick to the wellness epicenter of my brain.

My soul is in the penalty box, and it's going to be a rough damn Monday morning.

Overdramatic maybe, but....grrrrr.

Does the fact that it was on a delayed penalty make a difference? I ask this honestly, as I'm not sure on how it's usually called when it's the goalie, but if it's open ice and a Miami player intentionally moves the puck, it's instant whistle. The Miami goalie definitely had some degree of control over the puck before it came loose, though I don't think it was ever fully covered.

Who the hell am I kidding. This doesn't make the dong punch hurt any less. We got hosed.

I'll think about the game, cry a lot, and probably shit myself thinking about what a poorly officiated game this was.
