I think that's the point. We all did ask a college ref on Friday. And after reviewing it he said "no goal." Or maybe just because you're a ref doesnt really mean you get calls right? This is SiouxSports where us amateurs share our opinion and debate back and forth. If you dont think my opinion is as valuable as your hockey ref buddies that's fine. That's for you to decide. Maybe you want me to write "*my amateur opinion only*" after everything I write? Maybe that would make you feel better? Or better yet maybe we can get some blue checkmarks like twitter. We can all send in our hockey resumes. And Jim can let us all know who the experts are and who to listen to.

Then you have to believe the refs made the correct call on Friday. Anyone who questions that referee is "biased" nor have the "expertise" to say otherwise.

We also saw a "high level ref" reverse a goal on Friday at UND after reviewing it even.

Fair enough.

I just play an expert on SiouxSports. Played hockey. Never reffed. I know some crappy high school basketball refs who never played basketball. Small town part time job guys who's daughter plays. Means nothing to me. "Experts".

Ask them if they think taking out another player without the puck is interference?

It's obvious you're not the best at comprehending what you see or read. You know a slash can land on a stick right?

"Pairwise killer" doesnt mean it bumps you out of the playoffs. "1st to 18th place in one game!"

Momentum from swing slides down from middle of stuck (initial contact) to the end of the stick ("blade" part). Your glasses are even thicker than I thought!

I think you're right. There is a lip. Maybe have to opt for mixed drinks and straws next time. "Fishbowl" style.

Now that's how you celebrate!

1) Kawa stick in the air about to come down. 2) The slash complete. Western player still on his feet. 3) Kawa still has him pinned down. Knee finally about to touch. 4) Western player losing his balance from Kawa pushing and holding him down. 5) Kawa on the western players back right before he slides into the goalie. Green colored glasses dont see the slash? Clearly interference by Kawaguchi.

Exactly. He might have been lowering his body and planting in front of the net in anticipation for a one timer or rebound.

You just think the player randomly went to one knee for no reason whatsoever? Lol

Clearly a two handed slash to the Western Michigan player stick.

He went down to one knee cause Kawa slashed his stick. Should have been a penalty for slashing at a minimum.

That's the thing. You cant "predict" what a player might or have might not have done had he not been pushed. That is not part of the rules where anything is stated. He could have easily avoided contact had he not been pushed. But but he was pushed so he couldn't have avoided contact.

The majority of the people dont see it that way. Take off the green glasses bro. That goal would have stood had Friday's goal stood. The refs knew it was a good goal but they said "well let's keep screwing up and even up our no goals call." Heck even the UND coaches basically said that's what happened.

Both nights "no goals" were crap calls. That should be universally understood. Cant help you otherwise. But at least the refs called it consistently bad.

I just ran into this post. And since yesterday's game was at the Force arena...

Just a reminder that hopefully the NCAA never forgets what a huge disappointment Buffalo was last year.

Four years ago on this day (second to last regular season Saturday), UND also clinched a share of the cup. Then freshman phenom, Boeser, scored his 22nd goal of the season in that game. Tonight Pinto scored his 16th of the year. Boeser would go on to become the most prolific goal scoring freshman in the new Ralph era.

Lots of ya musta missed it based on the silence around here.... There was a great Jersey Pop tonight by the freshman phenom!

Lol. Ref after reviewing the goal stated: "....Goalie interference..."

That's what I thought. Back when I was in HS. Cant believe they have continued it this long. Good for them though.
