There was no way it couldn't have been a goal from that angle ... no way it could hit off the side of the net. If anything, I think the fans' reaction behind the net helped the referees in their decision (if they saw that view).

 

BTW, I've seen this scenario play out before, at the WCHA final five in St. Paul years ago in a St. Cloud-Minnesota game.

Two St. Cloud players cross on a 2X2, drop pass, one timer ripped, went through the net. Pretty sure it was Tyler Arnason that shot it.

Play went on for a few minutes. Next stoppage, they look at the tape, award St. Cloud State the goal.

My only question then -- and it wouldn't have applied here -- is why they didn't reset the clock to where it was when the goal was scored.

 

So why did they wait almost six minutes of atual game time before reviewing?

 

No shit... damn..

 

Begging the question: What if Air Force had scored in the interim?

Madness.

 

Why is this game in HD, others were in SD?

 

The penalty killing was solid, but it was made easier by Duluth's mystifying unwillingness to go to the net and create scoring chances.

The final score was 2-1. UMD waited too long to start playing with any real urgency. I would've thought, coming off the win over Princeton, the Bulldogs would've been flying. They failed to capitalize on a slew of golden power-play opportunities in the second period, including two 5-on-3 situations.

 

It wasn't 6 minutes later. It was around the 6 minute mark. That announcing team was clueless.

Had it on DVR because I knew I'd fall asleep. Just watched it, and when they said it happened with 10 minutes left and it was the first whistle since then. Did a rewind and there were at least two other stops in that six minute span.

 

And why did it take the refs 15 minutes to review it? That was ridiculously long. I saw one replay and could see it was a goal. I understand them looking a few times at multiple angles to be absolutely certain, but, really, how else could the net have rippled like that if the puck hadn't gone through? From where it was shot, there was no way the puck hit the outside of the net.

 

That's exactly why Notre Dame lost, too. Nobody wanted to crash the net, and in college hockey, so many goals are scored on chances within a stick's length of the goal.
