My question is why did Adams put his stick into the pad...there was no reason to do so

 

 

He had to do something with it after passing the puck.  He caught him with his follow through. Could have just dropped it I suppose

I noticed after hand shake that denver coach shook the refs hands. Then gave  them the thumbs up as he walked away.

Watched replay on Smith penalty, interference at best. 

"The check is in the mail."

Late to the party... but, did Denver challenge the call on the ice? ... had Denver already used it's timeout before that review? It's late... are coach's review even a thing in the NCHC?

[siouxweet]

This isn't the first time UND has run into questionable officiating in Denver and it won't be the last.

Did St. Cloud have a game-tying goal questionably disallowed in the third period eight days ago?

[tnt]

The scary part to me is that they would generally want to get the best officials to do a #1 versus a #3 contest.  Heaven help the NCHC if that is the case.  Just like at the regional last year, Berry took the high road by not blowing up.  You can bet if the roles were reversed, Monty would have come unglued!. Time for Schlossman to do a little research and see if UND has ever had 27 minutes to 2 minute advantage on power plays or similar.

Not that I saw, just Monty yelling at the refs to call it no goal. Shep was going to over rule the other ref with how he was talking to him. The other ref was good with the goal call and wanted to drop the puck.

LOL!  So threaten to leave the conference until the schoolyard bully gets his way?  

Man, and I thought Minnesota fans always believed they were entitled...

NO- until you get solid officiating.

Yeah they did.

Yes I believe Motzko speaking out about that was included in his reprimand from the league. How about hearing about reprimands for officials.  Not enough of that, which leads to the arrogance where they are looking for confrontation with players and coaches, but that is Don Adam in a nutshell, no accountability.

Wasn't it 8 straight penalties on UND in Denver around 2010?

Something like that.

I think he was actually trying to pull the puck back and shoot. Stick hit the pads on the follow through from the shot attempt.

UND is the conference heavyweight.  Threatening to leave the conference over a single call in one hockey game would be met with scorn and ridicule.

Agreed. Just dumb.

Some of us need to just relax a little. The officiating was absolute horrid tonight, but the boys played pretty well most of the weekend. Plenty of reasons to be optimistic moving forward. The team needs to worry about what they can control. Scoring one goal on the road (albeit, probably should have been two) is not enough to beat the #1 team in the nation. We also need to stay out the box. I get that some of the calls tonight were absolutely weak, but Smith taking five penalties on the weekend is not what this team needs. Move on to Union, which could be two very important games.

Smith's 5 minute major was bs as was the elbowing call against him on Friday.

[DamStrait]

If Shepherd is an NCHC official next weekend, the NCHC has no integrity.

Doesn't matter how bs it is. He was more of a liability this weekend than an asset. He needs to figure it out.

You could make the argument that hiring Don Adams has already kill all the integrity.

Todd Anderson is still around. ammiright?

The Frozen Faceoff Championship Game Third Period is the worst officiating ever in college hockey. Todd got mad. Todd called mad.

[DAR]

He passed to the left and was not shooting...after he passed the stick stuck the goalies pad.

Officials need to have integrity - if not, they need to be removed - otherwise the league lacks integrity.

[DamStrait]

Time to move the league offices out of Denver - remove all appearance of favoritism.

[TheHermanater]

After the disallowed goal Shepherd was sexually harassing a colleague.

Okay? What does that have to do with Smith taking 5 penalties over the course of 4 periods? 

[rochsioux]

That was some serious effed up officiating. 

On the fake penalty to smith the refs must not have seen the play and just took the word of arrogant whiner or they saw it and still ruled it a 5- min major. 

Pure incompetent officiating and deserving of suspension from the league. 

Arrogant whiner should be suspended for endangering the welfare of a player who had no business dressing for this game.  Two players bump in open ice and one goes down and has to be helped off the ice and can't even stand up ?  I hope he is ok but the implication is that he was nowhere healthy enough to play tonight.

If your going to give 5 min major and game disqualifications then you should have a video review to confirm.  Those penalties can have an oversized impact on a game and as tonight graphically showed the refs are too incompetent to get it right (although I don't have a lot more confidence that they can make the correct call using video, see the BU playoff game last March for evidence).
