I was watching on my phone and I heard the referee yelling into the box with the timekeepers, statisticians telling them he didn’t want the lights to be activated at all. That’s why I thought it was intentional.

So if the puck was nowhere near the goal how was this activated. Human error I guess.

It's even dumber than that. The goal lighting sequence was started by the preceding shot against UConn (you can see lights flashing prior to to the lights going out).

So, in sequence:
1) Somebody hit the goal sensor on a preceding shot, which wasn't a goal
2) The refs ignored it
3) The somebody who hit the sensor apparently couldn't stop it
4) our 2 on 1 gets nullified when the lights went out

old man at cloud time - i hate flashing lights on/off at sporting events for big plays. this is as good as reason as any to outlaw it.

Refs were saying that basically to say "don't hit the goal lights again because this apparently is too difficult for you to manage" (nicely paraphrased)

Here it is…I grabbed it off the broadcast and posted it to X, then to the BY. Best I could do.

Good should post it to the basketball board because it is UConn related and will get the most attention and it would help it go viral.
 
Unless I missed it (was listening to BOb Joyce for first 2 periods ), I didn’t see the lights go pitch dark like that for their first 3 goals.

Umass and HE owe everyone an explanation . This is really unacceptable. Couple the lights out fiasco with the 1st period officiating in the BC game and you have to start wondering what is going on! Is HE turning into a bad joke????

It's true

Yhea the only way it will get investigated is if Benedict UConn's ad forces a investigation. But I have no faith in him he really doesn't care about the hockey team. The reason why I know that his before the season started he was on the rob dibble show. He was talking about the start of the fall and winter sports not one metion of the hockey team after they had a great year!

I don't know what's going to happen, but that power outage was perfectly timed to squelch a UConn 2 on 1. Benedict does care about hockey though. Toscano is COB of the Trustees and we're paying Cavanaugh top dollar for a public university HE coach.

Benedict is from Arizona and worked at some P-4 schools - ASU, Auburn, Minn. He may not know much about hockey, but he is a prolific fundraiser. I don't know what we get from HE (if anything)? However, w/o him, UConn is in a difficult position, because (broken record warning!) we make chicken guano from our only source of conference revenue - the BE.
 
A wee bit late.

As we used to say in the military.........CYA.

Please vote - Do you believe it was unintentional?

They mentioned the power outage incident on PTI Monday. I’ve never heard them talk about UConn Hockey on Pardon the Interruption before. They compared it to the marathon runner who followed the pace car off course even though she was leading the race and finished in tenth. The question was “which incident was worse?”No real answer or remedy but the hockey incident received some national media attention.
