BROWN Pregame. What can it do for you?

As a personal diatribe, I'm going to say right here and now that I think all feces-related shouts, poop jokes, crap references, fecal-matter-memorabilia, scat-skates, bowel-ballads, and colon conquering cheers should be left at home...

Refs have been really lax on calling penalties on bad hits/elbows/roughings stuff like that the past 2 weeks.

We've lost intensity and this one could easily slip away. Two terrible plays on D.

R Nash is a great player, but he needs to do his part on defense. He was in the slot on the Brown scoring rush and didn't react when the puck showed up.

He's been a total disappointment lately (since the beginning of 08). He hasn't been working hard enough away from the puck in all three zones.

His sniping display against SLU and impressive D and physical play against both North Country teams = total dissapointment?

How much time left?

Union just went up 2-1 on SLU with 13 mins left. What is up with them this year?

I don't know but at this point Lehman has to be the front runner for COTY.

After watching the replays on the Brown goal, it is clear that the Brown skater took out Scrivens in the crease allowing the follower to knock it into an open net.

Had the refs the benefit of a replay, would that goal stand? Can you take out the goalie like that? It seems like this happens all the time and never gets called.

NCAA ice hockey rule book
New wording: 6-18-c (7) Attacking player may be in goal crease as long as they do not interfere with goalkeeper defending goal

POINT OF EMPHASIS
Goalkeeper Interference
The committee voted to alter the rule regarding the crease. However, this should not be construed as a lessening on the protections allowed the goalkeeper. Any time an opposing player prevents the goalkeeper from preventing a goal, interference must be called.

6-6 CHARGING. a. A player shall not skate more than two steps or jump into or charge an opponent. Charging is the action of a player, who as a result of distance traveled, checks an opponent violently in any manner from the front or side.
Note: A fair body check is one in which a player checks an opponent who is in possession of the puck, by using the hip or body from the front or diagonally from the front or straight from the side.
PENALTY—Minor or major at discretion of the referee.
b. A player shall not charge or otherwise foul a goalkeeper while the goalkeeper is within the crease or privileged area (see 6-19-b-2-g).
PENALTY—Minor or major at discretion of the referee.

6-18-c A goal shall not be allowed in any of the following cases:
...
(7) If any member of the attacking team (other than the player in possession of the puck) was in or skating through the goal crease when the goal was scored from outside the crease, unless:
i. The goalkeeper was outside the crease when the goal was scored; or
ii. An attacking player was in the crease but, in the opinion of the official, did not prevent the goalkeeper from defending the goal.
...

6-19-b (2) Within the privileged area bounded in the rear by the goalkeeper’s end of the rink, in front by an imaginary line connecting the special spots and on the sides by imaginary lines from the special spots to the end boards, the goalkeeper has certain privileges (see rink diagram). When outside of this area, the goalkeeper does not have these privileges and must play the puck in the same manner as that prescribed for other players, and is subject to the same penalties as other players (see 4-7-c).
(g) The goalkeeper shall not be body checked in the privileged area or within the crease (see 6-6-b).

SECTION 6-22. A player shall not make physical contact with an opponent, including the goalkeeper (see 6-6-b), anywhere on the ice after the whistle has blown if, in the opinion of a referee, the player had sufficient time after the whistle to avoid such contact.

Waving of arms in front of a goalkeeper by an opponent is interference.

29-2 c. A player of the attacking team may stand on the goal crease line or in the goal crease, or skate through the goal crease while the attacking team has possession of the puck, unless, in the opinion of the official, the player is preventing the goalkeeper from defending the goal. A player of the attacking team may stand or stay in the crease when the puck is in the crease or when the player has possession of the puck.

SECTION 50. A player shall not deliberately spray the goalkeeper.

SECTION 59. The use of video replay is permissible in any game using either of the following procedures:
a. NCAA Championship Procedures.
(1) Areplay must be conclusive for an instant-replay official to overturn an on-ice official’s call. One of the following criteria must be met for replay to be used:
...
(i) To determine if an attacking player was illegally in the goal crease and prevented the goalkeeper from defending the goal when the puck entered the goal cage;
...
