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.

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.

Isn't he also in the blue before the puck?

i remember the video - i thought he dropped to make the save, but if the contact made him go down it's an easy call

i don't think that's been the rule since shortly after the sabres/stars controversy got people thinking a lot about whether in the crease violations should be a per se rule

Right but you can you stand in the crease waiting for the puck?  

Even though it was for only a second that's what he did. In the crease for a second is different from waiting in the crease for the puck and tipping it in, isn't it?

I could have missed it, but I didn't notice anyone on the Cornell bench asking for the play to be reviewed. I think the refs may have made the decision to review on their own.

If you're still interested, go to around 6:20 to go and you can see Rinaldi entering the crease. It looks like his left leg hits Galajda's right and Galajda starts to go down. All this well before the shot.

Ref Allen immediately goes to scorers table. One of the linesmen comes over as well. Then after the replay of the goal, you see the other ref, Lynch, and a linesman at center ice. The linesman who was with Allen comes over and says something to them. Lynch skates over to Allen. Then one ref skates to go off and the other to CU's bench.

So it certainly looks like Allen knew right away that it had to be reviewed.

i was wondering at the game why it didnt get a review. it was pretty clear he was in there behind the goalie for a long time.  seemed like it deserved to be looked at but wasnt sure it was gonna get one.

By the way, did anyone else see Bennett's interactions with the officials after the game? He was yelling in their direction and giving them an obviously sarcastic "thumbs-up." He did this at least twice. That would seem to me to be the kind of thing the league may not look kindly upon.

I assume the league will send him a "Cut the shit, Rick," letter, or call him, behind the scenes.  Wherever possible they seem to prefer to take care of that stuff off the books, which is just as well for Mike's first 10 seasons.

he had 6 PP not like they swallowed the whistle.

Both Bennett and the Union goalie seemed upset about stuff that happened around the Union goal. I noticed it during the game, and then today I watched the ESPN feed during and after Union's third no-goal. When the ref skated over to the Union bench, presumably to explain why they were overturning the goal, you can see Bennett animatedly gesturing in the direction of the Union net.

The sarcastic thumbs-up is a way better method of indicating disapproval at fellow drivers than the finger.

I didnt see much during the game live.. in the first period we were all over them but not really near the crease, the last 2 periods we seldom even did much at all.  he was screaming at the refs all game. you could hear him over the crowd complaining about no calls a bunch of times.

This call is all the more critical since it involves a team ranked number #53 against a team ranked #3.Union could have jumped up to 49th with a tie, even higher with a win.
