Brandon Thomas reports that tonight's game will have a different officiating crew.[/quote]

The crew for tonight will be John Murphy and Tim Kotyra as refs, with Prusak and Emanatian as linesmen.  Emanatian is the only holdover from last night's game.

Nice to see the change, but Emanatian was pretty bad, too. He was the one standing right next to Kennedy along the boards in the 1st period when he was being held...it was one of those obvious calls, as the RPI guy had his arm around Kennedy from behind; Kennedy's legs were moving but he wasn't going anywhere. There hadn't been any penalties called yet in the game and I was left wondering what it would take for one to be called.

[quote Germ]Another grinder of a game.  Shots on goal were 32-14 and yet we lost 1-0?  It's so painful.  Thankfully we're not out of it yet.  I know Schafer will tweak things to disrupt York.  No way he stands on is head again.

I know it's been said before but the bottom line is we just don't have the finishers needed to win these types of games on a consistent basis. Our D only gave up one goal last night.  Can't ask too much more than that.[/quote]

But that's just it: York did NOT stand on his head last night.  He was good, but this was not one of those classic playoff hockey games in which a hot goalie steals a win.  He was hardly specacular; he didn't need to be.
 
All of which underscores the veracity of your second point.  We don't have enough finishers.

From Ken Schott of the Schenectady Gazette (posted on the RPI-Sports list):

Paul Stewart was at last night's Union-Princeton game, and got a call from one of the officials from the RPI-Cornell game. Let's just say that Stewart won't put up with Schafer's antics. He was very angry.

No comment from me.

Now that we're back to the two ref system can the linesmen still call penalties?  I would have guessed they couldn't.

I think they are restricted to too many men and things that are not in the view of either referee (which should be essentially nothing if the referees are playing the 2man system properly).

This is from the NCAA rule book:

SECTION 4. The linesman's duties are as follows:
a. Determine infractions of the rules concerning offsides and icing.
b. Conduct faceoffs.
c. Stop play:
1. When the puck goes outside the playing area;
2. For encroachment into the faceoff area;
3. For the puck being played with a high stick or hand pass;
4. For the goal cage becoming dislodged;
5. For premature substitution of a goalkeeper (see 2-5-a);
6. For injured player(s) (see 2-6-a, d) and officials;
7. For too many players on the ice;
8. When a stick, puck or any foreign object is thrown on the ice;
9. To report a goal not observed by the referee;
10. To report an ineligible player playing the puck; and
11. When a player or goalkeeper's helmet becomes dislodged.
d. At the first stoppage of play, the linesman

So, for most penalties, the ref or the asst ref have to make the call.

During the game I was told that at the Friday luncheon Coach Schafer said he heard there was a directive to let them play during the playoffs. I don't know where it came from, but if true, it obviously primed his pump. It will be interesting to see how they try and reprimand him. As an aside officials for Sundays game are listed as TBA in the game program.

More on RPI's goal

It was deflected, Cullen knocked the puck down, turned and fired it toward the net.

"I was trying to stay high slot there," Cullen said. "I was just trying to get it on net. I knew Frich (Tyler Helfrich) was going to the net, so I was thinking deflection, screen or rebound."

Helfrich screened Cornell goalie Ben Scrivens, who never saw the puck deflect off one of his defenders.

I admit, I never saw a deflection either.

Any chance Dell and Carusone are replaced?

:-( I was counting on his getting a bench penalty or two tonight. ;-) Here's a link http://www.ecachockey.com/men/2008-09/news/Suspension_Coach_Schafer.pdf

These sorts of suspensions really piss me off.

The league:  "You can't criticize us!  You don't get to be angry after a loss and bad officiating!"

He didn't swear.  He didn't say bad things about the officials by name, he just said that he didn't like how the game was called.

Yeah, let's get him for voicing his opinion.
