Cam back, Ben Tupker sits.

Leahy back in for Cairns.

Malinski still out this weekend but should be ready for next week.

[Iceberg]

ESPN+ has had a problematic stream the past few weekends, but it's just downright bad tonight.

[Trotsky]

That was... close.

Why is it always Dartmouth and Union who give us fits? Since Union got their first D1 win at Lynah, they always have some voodoo on us.

I boarded a flight after the 1st, and when I landed, I started the feed to see the refs waive off a goal, so you're welcome.

[Trotsky]

It's not.  It only seems that way.

Relative to record it's Dartmouth and RPI.

That was... close.

i didn't get to watch until union was skating past the bench after the tying goal. what a relief when the ref waved it off. no idea why, though. looked clean to me.

But not Yale? Isn't Q's percentage against us improving by the year?

[upprdeck]

the kid was in the crease behind the goalie for a long time before any shot too place.. does there have to be contact for that to be interference like that

hockey is just a game with such a small margin of error.  A game that could easily been 5-6 to zip almost turns into a tie when a team has 10 shots in a game.

On the waved off goal, Rinaldi was in the crease and behind Galajda before Ryan shot the puck.  Rinaldi ran into Galajda's skate on his way into the crease.

[ugarte]

sure but isn't that incidental contact? galajda made the save. i guess the argument could be that he was impeded from settling deeper in the crease or from gathering the rebound. whatever it was, whew.

Despite our lower GP we are now 3rd in W-L:

Look at the replay around the 2 minute mark. Rinaldi interferes with Galajda before the initial shot. He appears to catch the right skate/leg of Galajda, knocking him to his knees. That does not allow him to quickly get to his right to make the save on the rebound. Good call and I wonder who from CU saw it.
