Many are commenting on the questionable calls in the men's game last night. Well our women's team, currently battling down the stretch for an NCAA Tournament berth and locked in a battle for 2nd with UVM in Hockey East, literally had a win taken from them due to an egregious whistle by a referee last night.

You can see it for yourself here at 2:11:17 Watch WIH: UConn at Boston University (02/04/22) - Stream Women's Ice Hockey Online - Feb. 4 7:00 P.M. ET - SportsLive

The puck was loose in front of the net. At no point did the BU goalie cover it. And instantly he whistles it dead as the puck is coming right to a UConn player to bury it in the open net. I haven't seen a whistle that quick...ever? It goes as a tie but UConn lost the shootout, the win, and a point. There is no excuse for that type of mistake.

Yep. Ref should be suspended. It's not like it was even in a scrum, where losing sight is excusable. Pretty much came out immediately and far away - maybe too fast?

Wow….that is awful. It seems to me that NCAA refs just plain suck. It’s pretty frustrating.
