Re: 2012 East Regional Semifinal: #1 Union vs. #4 Michigan State

Saw this on Twitter -

@paulacweston The NCAA rule says that the net must be totally flat so I guess that counts as dislodged. Lame, but correct I guess.

That is exactly what this ruling seems to be based on. Technically, the official can blow any play dead the second the net is knocked off in any way, in any amount at all. And yes, it is correct that a lot of goals could be retroactively disallowed by that. They really need clarity on this intent to blow thing and directly correlate it to the net dislodge standards. I'm surprised they didn't do so after the high profile incident in the BU-Lowell HE Championship game.

MSU goie was crying interference, he had an argument on the first shot not on the goal

This is assuming that Shep and Hunt know what the rules are...pretty risky if you ask me.

And it begs the question of why they didn't penalize the Union player for dislodging the net. That's textbook delay of game.

If it's on Union, it never gets called. If it's on the other team, they call it every time.

That's what us in the WCHA say about North Dakota

What would happen if they met in the finals? The refs would have to call everything, yet call nothing.

FS 23 needs to develope a formula to anlayze this

Yes, because these WCHA refs are definitely in Union's pocket. Paul Stewart's influence must be pretty strong: he's finding a way to make non-ECAC refs **** off RPI fans He must really hate Seth Appert.

I'm fairly sure the rules state you can't issue a penalty based upon review. Perhaps this would be a very good scenario in which you could issue a penalty seen on replay.
