Yeah, it was exciting to watch our guy get punched in the face and then see a delay of game called on us.

You can’t look at just one play. You have to look at the entire game. The opening festivities, the new arena. HE games back on campus with a full house. Overall it was exciting. Our team didn’t win, but they have more games to play and I’m sure they will win heir share of games.
 
Why in the world did UConn get a delay of game penalty? Joe D. and his color partner said they had no idea. And how does Spott not get a penalty?? Those refs have some splainin' to do!

Did UConn have a previous unsuccessful challenge in the game? If so, the delay of game call they're required to make there, unfortunately. First unsuccessful challenge uses your TO, all after that are minor penalties. (Joe D should know this...)

The missed call on the punch was horrible. A textbook contact to the head roughing minor. They aren't allowed to give a minor penalty on review, only can assess a major. The punch was bad, but would've been tough to justify as a major.

But...how did UConn take a TO and challenge on the same stoppage, and still get a penalty? Cav would've had to take his timeout, let the time expire, THEN decide to challenge? Didn't look like that happened.

That can't be right. If so, I think the refs screwed that one up assessing the penalty after.

Edit: I asked a friend of mine who's a ref - if Cav called TO for the purpose of challenging the penalty, which is what appeared to happen, then they should not have gotten a delay of game minor. It's only a delay of game if Cav decided to challenge after the TO and play was about to resume.

There was no challenge that I recall.

A strange quote here. First, wasn't the challenge with ~25 seconds left? Next, where did the "threat" of a penalty come from? He'd not used his TO and hadn't had a prior unsuccessful challenge. He's allowed to call his timeout and ask for a challenge without fear of a penalty.

Makes no sense.

Just disappointed with what has become of this season. I thought UConn had a chance at the regular season title and shot at a NCAA tournament berth but those are now gone.

I thought Ryan Tattle had a really solid game tonight. I don’t understand why he has not been in the lineup a lot more.

The defensemen give up so many bad turnovers that lead to opportunities for the opposition. It seems to be a yearly thing. They need to recruit better for the blue line.

Capone is a fourth liner. He offers nothing offensively. Why is he playing on a line with Tverberg?

Right now the goalies are not good enough to steal a game and that’s a problem.

Rees’s handout to McDonough of all players who’s arguably the best scorer in HE was the most painful. The sad part is that overall UConn played really well and generated many very close offensive opportunities and couldn’t cash in. While not a fan of Levi, he played well enough to stifle some great chances by Tverberg and Bradley.

As for Capone, he’s regressed a bit after a nice start, but is physical in a way that can juice the team and crowd and has shone he has good hands in the past.

One thing the inaugural game gave us was mucho drama. The whole thing felt like a Whalers game 8n that regard ;)

Here’s a thought on the timeout. Do you remember when the PA blew the horn and turned on goal lights when no goal was scored. The action was stopped and the announcer said there was a time out on the ice. I wonder if that control room blunder cost the home team a time out. I don’t know for sure, but seems weirdly plausible under the circumstances, but maybe someone on the board knows for sure…

Or is it that the only reviewable item that wouldn’t create a delay of game penalty be when the challenge is over a goals scored or not?

That was the scheduled tv timeout.

Lucas had a turnover for the first goal. Instead of dumping it into the offensive zone he had it stolen off his stick and it led to a two on one. I do like Lucas though.

I just believe that breaking up Capone and Bradley would really help Bradley and give the team more offensive depth.

Bradley has offensive capabilities. Capone has zero. I just believe if Bradley got away from Capone he would be able to show a lot more. Capone should just be a fourth liner.

Capone is 7th on the team with 11 pts. That’s not exactly nothing.
Two brutal giveaways and a crap clipping call doomed us tonight.
Our D has not taken care of the puck since late December and it’s killing us.
I can’t believe Northeastern got away with that punch on our 3rd goal. WTF?

Not as exciting as ice bowling
Man, $20,000 for a strike?

The part I really don't get, which hasn't been talked about...

He was assessed a 10 min misconduct, but no minor? What is this, the NHL in the late 80s?

There also was a frozen puck in 3rd which Levi cleared after the whistle, and they gave a center ice faceoff????? Did they call an inadvertent whistle?

I apparently need to read up on rules, because both of these left me puzzled.
 
Yeah, so i really want to know why it was 5 on 5 at end. I don't see a provision for a misconduct with no minor:

Rule 53 - Roughing
53.1 Roughing - A player shall not push or shove an opponent with unnecessary
force.
PENALTY—Minor.
53.2 Excessive Roughness - A player shall not commit an action not permitted
by the rules that may cause or causes an injury to an opponent, to team
personnel or to a game official.
PENALTY—Disqualification.
53.3 Hitting After the Whistle - A player shall not make physical contact with
an opponent, including the goalkeeper (see Rule 43), anywhere on the ice
after the whistle has blown if, in the opinion of a referee, the player had
sufficient time after the whistle to avoid such contact.
PENALTY—Minor or major at the discretion of the referee. A game
misconduct may be assessed at the discretion of the referee.
Note: Officials are encouraged to pay particular attention to a player who
instigates or escalates an incident after play is stopped.
 
.-.
10 minute misconducts can be assessed without a minor, it's a rare call but it's possible. The only times I remember are for shooting after the whistle. The guy who got the 10 min misconduct at the end was not the dude who threw the punch though.

Still really, really bizarre that on that play the only penalty given for the on-ice scuffle after the goal was a random 10 minute misconduct. It probably doesn't end up changing the outcome of the game, but you can't miss that punch at the end there.

Is it time to pick a goaltender?

I think Cav should let Sergeev start most of the remaining games. He has more upside and maybe he could get on a little bit of a roll.

Was thinking along the same lines. Sergeev seems a little more unorthodox but can get hot and steal a game - even though someone else didn’t think the set had the capacity to do so…

There were major line changes but yeah the next change is making fewer if them in net.
 
Hurley took the pressure off Cav, the St John's beat down was way worse than the Northeastern loss
