Murray's Penalty/NO GOAL

[jkahn]

For what it's worth, the Dartmouth student announcer thought it was definitely a high stick, and after the call on Murray following the goal said "Cornell's really getting shafted here."  But let's not dwell on that; as hockey players say "c'est la vie."  The announcer did an excellent job of play-by-play - I immediately knew who got each goal (even when it was Chris Abbott) and generally the assists as well, as he was clearly prepared and called our players by name as soon as they had the puck.  Another good comment he made was that "the Cornell fans are as annoying as advertised."  Thanks for the well-called game - whoever you are.

[Q] So, are you saying that you think that maybe there is a hockey referee who "hasn't been around long enough" to know what a hat trick is?[/Q]

No, they know what it is,

but I'm saying there are people in positions of power in hockey rinks who maybe haven't been around hockey long enough to understand that it's a time honored tradition, and not something 'those crazy kids do' - witness Age's experience at RPI. I'd like to hope that none of the refs fall into that category, but honestly, if Torguson (sp?) (who looked pretty young to me) or someone ECAC refs gave fans (particularly at Lynah) a warning for it, I wouldn't be terribly shocked.

Actually, CU did once receive a penalty for hats being thrown on the ice following a CU hat trick at Lynah.  It was probably 10-15 years ago...it was during a not-very-glorious part of CU Hockey history.   We didn't have many hat  tricks during  that period of time.  And, when it happened, it was a pretty wild celebration (similar to last night's).   The referee was Peter Dawe (or Dawes).   I believe that was his last year of doing Div I game.  Yes, I heard there was a connection between that incident and his departure.  Does anyone else remember this....maybe more specifics?
