Goalie fiasco?Horrific loss. I knew right when the goalie fiasco thing occured they were f***Ed. The most under productive program in college hockey history
Maybe UM should hire Sandelin at least he knows how to win a few of these things with a bunch of MN boys

They could have given Souliere a bit of time to repair his equipment. Airey comes in and whammo, one shot, one goal.
(Unless it wasn't an equipment thing, I was under the impression it was)
The refs followed the rule book on that situation. ESPN doesn’t know the rules.

I've seen goalies be given time before. The entire season was on the line.
Also, Airey didn't even stretch. It was just weird all the way around. The hockey gods wanted the Gophers to lose
He was gone for like 5-10 “real” minutes. That’s way too much time.I've seen goalies be given time before. The entire season was on the line.

Usually they get like 30 seconds to stretch. Not sure what happened with why Airey didn’t.

Love the tourney but I have to gripe about scheduling BC-Bentley in the afternoon and Providence-Denver / UConn-Quinnipiac against each other. One of these games is likely to be an unwatchable blowout and the other two should be good.
Well at least the Gophers choked again

Chelsey went down like he got shot when the UMass players stick touched his. That wasn't a trip

It's Motzko. He choked repeatedly at SCSU and lost multiple times against teams that his teams had no business losing to. Ferris State, Air Force, American International, Clarkson, etcI've seen goalies be given time before. The entire season was on the line.

Hate to admit this but fell asleep after 2 only to be shocked this morning. I guess I'm happy I missed it.
I was trying to figure out what happened. The UMass stick hit the top of his skate just enough that the toe part of the blade caught the ice and pulled his feet out from under him. Not sure how that stands in the rule book.

I agree, but we’ve seen year after year that refs will put the whistle away in playoff games late in the 3rd and overtime. No excuse for 81 to not continue playing hard.

He was playing hard enough fine, it's just that sometimes forwards aren't great at playing defense.

I think he maybe could've tried smarter. I think positioning was more the downfall than effort was.
Stick made contact with his skate( I think it got in between the ice and skate blade), and Chesley went down as a result. Pretty clear trip, to me. Looked like one when I saw it in real time, and also on the replay. I get the ref not wanting to call things in OT and influencing the game, but in this case, MASS went down on the transition and scored while Chesley was spinning along the ice towards the opposing Blue line, putting MN down a defender.
As i said earlier, the ref had to be cringing inside when UMass scored. I'm sure he thought that nothing would come from the non call, and that he had done the right thing by swallowing the whistle, and not putting the Gophers on the PP.
