Not a goal?

[releck97]

Can someone please explain?

The camera guy standing by me told me during the review that the officials upstairs called it a goal. As for what the conversation was on the ice... I have no idea. My only theory is that BU guaranteed the refs to admit their kids to that second tier institution, and that's why 4 out of 5 calls on the ice were in favor of the Terriers. They do not deserve the win.

Monday's front page for the Sun. RED GET ROBBED and just a picture of the puck sitting behind BU's sieve.

They showed a replay on MSG from the overhead camera in real time with sound.  You can hear the whistle blow a split-second before the puck hits the goalie in the shoulder.  So "no goal" was the right call on the replay, unfortunately.

I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be a ref...

The simple fact is that the ref blew his whistle when the puck was on the goalies shoulder, a fraction of a sec. before it crossed the goal line. It was clear on the overhead replay.

On another note, Andy had some pretty impressive saves tonight, especially in the first period.

Well, the jumbotron didn't have speakers and it's still the referees' human error to assume that it was a dead puck when it was not.

Maybe, but I didn't hear it.

Also, the explanation from the announcer was that it wasn't even relevant exactly when the whistle was heard, because the ref had already had "intent" to call it dead.  Definitely one of the weirder and more amusing things i've seen in my time watching hockey.  From the TV camera angles, it was impossible to determine whether the puck had gone into the netting.  I'd be interested to see what fans at the game saw.  I don't have any problem with the ref's call to blow it dead.  The players had already relaxed as if the puck was dead, so it would have been a pretty lame goal if we got the call.

Neither did the vast majority of us in attendance!

Yes, well the majority of us in attendance also didn't know it had gone in. Simply put, these kinds of games are the reason series records are disputed in media guides.

The ref is supposed to blow the play dead when he loses sight of the puck. Nobody knew where it was. He blew it dead like he is supposed to. There are plenty of decisions from the officials to bitch about tonight. This isn't one.
Cornell had a ton of chances amd couldn't convert. It's a tough loss. Would love to see BU again in March or April.

Fair enough.  BU still sucks!

Yea we lost (was it expected? Honestly, yes). I took a lot of positives from this game. We dominated at times, as in most of the game. We are a very young team. I was there tonite with a party of 8 and I told all of them we will be playing in the frozen four within 2 years. We are that good. I have no doubt about it. I await the hecklng
