Looks like the Bears won. Refs screwed this one up BIG time.

True. Next time if the refs can help the Bears hit them wide open nets like they're supposed to, things will go down the right way. I hate when the refs force the Bears to not score. It's so unfair.biscuit in the basket wrote:Looks like the Bears won. Refs screwed this one up BIG time.
If the net truly was dislodged before the goal, then it was HM's fault, and was intentional.1parent wrote:That is crazy. I would love to see it from the other side. Maybe the ref has the whistle in his mouth because the puck is going in the net. Which player knocked the net off?
Aawwww.got some wrote:We scored, we won, we got screwed.
You're right, the referee could simply be anticipating a play and have the whistle in his mouth. The MSHSL, however, teaches its hockey officials that they should not, unlike basketball officials, have the whistle in their mouths until they see something that requires a whistle. As I saw the play, the referee immediately gave the "no goal" signal. You may have seen it differently. We're talking about a second or less here and human reaction time needs to be considered. I wish there were photos or video from a different angle to shed some more light on the play. I do think it is significant that there was virtually no argument from the White Bear players or coaches on the play. Most teams would be screaming long and loud if they had a potential section game winning goal disallowed by a call that was as horrible as some on this board seem to think this one was.got some wrote:sllek - Well, I don't have any other photos, so if someone else does, I'd love to see them. However, I was at the game too. I had a great view of the net, and how everything went down, and I do not think the net was off until after the puck was in.
I saw the ref in the first picture. Just because he had the whistle in his mouth, doesn't mean he was about to call the net movement. It just means he was ready for anything. And, the fact of the matter is that he didn't make the call until AFTER the clock ran out. If the net was dislodged longggggg before the puck was in, why didn't he make the call sooner?
And, if it is true that the net was dislodged before the goal, how did it happen? Was it intentional? Should there have been some sort of delay of game penalty or penalty shot??? I think so.
The screaming would do no good since we all know the refs were pulling for the Hill victory.sllek wrote:You're right, the referee could simply be anticipating a play and have the whistle in his mouth.

C'mon. You didn't even mention Hill-Murray's 50-year tradition of recruiting.stpaul wrote:Hill-Murray has a 50 year tradition of winning hockey. No. St. Paul, Maplewood, Oakdale, White Bear Lake and Stillwater have a 50 year tradition of whining and sniveling about it. Both are alive and well.
Thank GOD for that!! We all pay enough taxes as it is.stpaul wrote:Hill-Murray recruits for all of it's students - including average kids, academic all-stars, musicians, actors and hockey players. It costs $10,000 per year to go there. They better have a good product to sell or they would go out of business. I know first hand that they do.
Tell me who's that bad guy here?: Little Johnny is good hockey player. He, his parents and Bill Lechner would all like him to enroll at Hill-Murray. Maybe Johnny's parents went to HM & love the place. Maybe not. His parents pay the tuition and Johnny goes to HM. He has a chance - no guarantees - to make the team, play on a winner and play at state. In the mean time he gets a great education with 7 period days, lots of homework, high expectations, religion, service requirements, discipline and one of the best coaches in the state. The taxpayers don't pay a nickel for the education or the hockey.
You all want Johnny to go to the giant suburban high school because he played for the youth association in that suburb, as if they own him. You think there's something devious about Johnny, his family or HM if he doesn't.
You can substitute Cretin-DH, St. Thomas, Holy Angels, Benilde-SM, Totino-Grace, Roch. Lourdes, etc. etc. into this argument. It does seam to be a bigger deal out here in the north & east SP suburbs than elsewhere. I'm not sure why.
By the way "the incident", that according to Thor is going to haunt us forever, is part of that discipline that I mentioned above.
I think Johnson must have had some help in their game against Tartan because there is no way a #8 seed could have ever beat a #1 seed.thorhockey wrote:Calm down boys
Hill is well known for getting "the calls" their way all year long.
