Meanwhile CC is destroying BC 4-1 after 1.

Thanks for the update. I'm at work so I have to track the game the old fashioned way...on the internet..

It'll stun me if anyone other than a Michigan fan argues that was a "conclusive" replay to overturn the call on the ice. Maybe some UNO hater might ... but as much as I think Dean Blais is a jerk and have seen only one UNO fan on the interwebs that didn't look like a complete bumpkin whackjob from loserville ... I wouldn't argue it. So as much as it pains me ... that play shouldn't have been called a goal.

Watch it on ESPN3 - that's what I've been doing.

ESPNU just spot-shadowed the replay. Clearly the puck was partially across. But again, not clearly 100% across the line, thereby making the on-ice call the call they should have made.

What a gong show, if the rules are easy enough for me to understand clearly a team of NCAA officials should be able to interpret them . Good news is that the WCHA isn't the only league that pulled idiots from their villages to wear skates and make calls.

Coincidence:

Joke call to eliminate Nebraska-Omaha. Inexcusable without 100% evidence to overrule that.

There was 100% evidence, the down ice view clearly showed the puck across the line. From a uno perspective (give me a second to put my head up my butt) I'd be ******ed about losing that way but oh well.

Ugh... I forgot how awful the BC band is.

BobF over on the uno thread said it was a goal and he is not a Michigan fan. Post #208.

Fan perspective. Trying to be objective as is possible.

The wife and I could not make it to St. Louis today because of a business commitment of hers. We'd have been there tomorrow if there was a reason to go.

Thus, we watched the game at a local multiplex theater that is owned by a couple that are big time UNO fans that threw it open, freebie, to us all to communally watch the game. About 1200 people showed. Great atmosphere.

Thanks to all the posters here that jumped on the "we got screwed" bandwagon. I don't know how you overrule a no-goal call on the ice when, as the talking heads on ESPNU put it, "You never definitively saw the puck over the line. How do you make that call?" Or, words to that effect. That's water under the bridge. The refs made that ridiculous call and it is what it is. I note that even some MU fans posting here thought it was a bad call. Oh, well, on to next season. As LBJ once said about a hitchhiker stuck out in the open in a Texas hailstorm, "You can't run, you can't hide, and you can't make it go away".

What an anticlimactic way to end a game. I'd have rather Michigan won in some definitive way. Much easier than getting jobbed by the refs. People just sort of drifted out in bits and pieces at game's end, not quite sure of what to do or what to say. Us included.

That said, the real story of this game was UNO's continued absolute futility on the power play this year, particularly since the first of the year. They got a power play goal and we didn't and that was really the story of the game. I bet Coach Blais says something along those lines as well when he's asked about the game.

Wait'll next year. Gotta hang your hat on something. Best season in UNO history.

What a goal.

Very quick reflexes to get his own rebound like that.

BC is getting out-BC'd.

I guess Barry Melrose was right about Muse being 'due.'

ESPNU says they have the head of the rules committee coming up at the break of the BC v CC game. He'll explain Rule 96.98m: When any opportunity arises when a call can benefit a B1G team, said call shall be made. In the case when 2 B1G teams are playing each other, order of advantage will be UMTC, UM, UW, MSU,...
