Cornell 2 RPI 1 (Final)

[David Harding]

[quote BCrespi]That's a great point.  I didn't think about that.  At what point are they do blow it dead?  With control or just after the first touch by the goaltender?  He did appear to bobble the puck on its/his way into the net, but certainly touched it in front of the goal line.[/quote]Just for the record

c. The appropriate on-ice official shall use a "delayed whistle" when a foul is committed against the team in possession of the puck, thereby postponing the stoppage of play until the offending team shall have possession and control of the puck.


The last player to control the puck, other than the goalkeeper, is the last player to be deemed in possession of the puck. Control of the puck is defined as the act of propelling the puck with the stick, hand or skate.

Possession and control is not a rebound off the goalkeeper, an opposing player, the goal or the boards or any incidental contact with the body or equipment of an opposing player. Batting the puck with the hand or kicking the puck is considered to be controlling the puck. Touching the puck (e.g., poke check or deflection) is not considered control of the puck.

During a delayed penalty, a goal may not be scored by the penalized team as a result of a deflection off of a penalized team player.

Yeah, the rule is not in question... I wasn't clear on whether Scrivens had control or not before falling backwards.

[Al DeFlorio]

Cornell's leading the league in penalty minutes per game (that is...with the highest).  But also in scoring defense.

[David Harding]

I recognized that you understood the rule, but having less interesting things that I should be doing, I decided to check the exact wording.  Having spent that energy, I couldn't resist sharing the information for the possible benefit of anyone else with a less reliable memory of the rule book.  

[Cactus12]

Fair enough.

[BCrespi]

It's always nice to be refreshed.  Thanks.
