Did you see it? I must have just missed it.

Goal CC. Damn.

I didn't see it... I just heard the arena announcer say it... haha

Finley is playing better today than yesterday.... although just about everyone that can is! The team looks much better today, let's hope it continues into the third :glare:

Sucks to give up that PP goal, but all it takes is another one by us and the momentum is ours again. It will be very interesting to see how both teams come out of the locker room to start the third. We're lucky to be up one after that breakaway we gave up. (Although CC is lucky we don't 10 goals right now, as well.) JPL's save is looming large right now. 20 minutes to go for a 1 seed.

McClown is the intermission interview and he is trying to say that the other leagues have the same officiating problems and that their Chief of Officials even tried to quit. I sure wish Sheppard would quit! :glare:

Does FSN have to talk about the gophers during the intermission of the UND CC game? save that sh** for tonight, there is a 1 seed at stake, can't have a segment on that?

Listening to the same interview, I'm reasonably sympathetic to his point.

The refs are all essentially volunteers who are doing it for the love of the game. While lots of the constructive discussions about officiating have wondered if the ref jobs could somehow be made more professional, I do have some sympathy for the current guys who I generally believe are amateurs just doing their best. The results are varied, but now come under tremendous scrutiny due to the Internet.

It's similar to the Internet's change in public criticism of players, coaches, and UND officials, except not many people try to stick up for the refs :(

Eades interview:

The late goal could change it, we'll have to wait and see. We've had a great 40 min so far. Our power play is clicking so far. We'll have to battle back from that late CC goal

You have been following the quality of Sheppard officiating for long enough that your defence surprises me. The technology has merely helped to confirm the validity of what we have all been saying for years.
