I'd love to see the overhead camera for the last goal. The more I look at it, the more I think the puck was still uncovered and pushed in.

I was sitting center ice just above the glass and the group I was with all heard the whistle before the goal. The captain and the coach both pleaded their case to no avail.

Does anyone have info about the jerseys being auctioned off? Both teams had the Red Hot Hockey patch on the jerseys so I figure they will be up for grabs.

There was talk of the phantom whistle on the redcast. Before it became apparent that there would be no review, the radio guys wondered whether the whistle would be audible on the replay. So they heard it too.

Whichever one of the officials blew the whistle should have had the balls to tell Rictchie, "I blew my whistle before the puck crossed the goal line. Maybe I shouldn't have, since it was your call, but since I did it has to be a no-goal."

The officiating was pretty sloppy in general: I counted at least 5 times in which the ref got in the way of the puck.

I haven't gone back and watched the replay (I don't even know if I can, as I am not a Redcast subscriber--I just bought these last two games because I was going to be out of town for the Colgate game and not in NYC for this game), but I thought the short-handed goal was awfully close to offsides (meaning I yelled "offsides" at the TV as the play went-down, before the goal). The replays of the goal they showed on the broadcast didn't show a wide enough shot to tell, but the original shot did, I think.

Based on what I could see on Redcast, it certainly looked like that play should have been blown dead. It looked like the puck was under Scrivens, and the BU player dug it past him, from under him. I wonder if this too was not a reviewable play, or if somehow MSG did not have the review system in place. Tough way to not win a game.

Since all plays in the NHL are now reviewed through the War Room in Toronto, it's possible MSG no longer has in house video replay equipment or officials to operate it.

Well, I've watched that over as well, and I think he was onside. At 97:20 on my broadcast the puck is just at the blue line and the other skaters skate is on the center ice edge of the blue line. So although I can't get it to the exact second of the puck going over it looks OK.

As an aside, although I also yell "offsides", I don't think you can be offsides, just offside.
