UW vs. SCSU - NO GOAL?!

This may be the worst call I have seen in my entire life

The announcing crew is dead on in their analysis, though I would add this:

Sheppard was in no position to see the puck. Although he is supposed to blow the whistle when he loses the puck, he had no excuse for not being in a position to see a puck that almost didn't even stop moving.

But, as long as Daddy Shep is the head of officiating and McLeod stays as the second least involved commissioner in the sport of hockey, nothing will change.

According to very reliable source with friends in the athletic department, SCSU has gotten 9 apology letters from the WCHA about screw ups, probably will be 10 after this friday's UND game.
Sad that one of the best amateur leagues in the world has such shitty officiating

SCSU has gotten screwed earlier vs Denver. The next day refs sent a letter to SCSU saying sorry its a wrong call. Now Badgers getting screwed. I am a SCSU fan and I am saying this is a joke. The refs suck. It should of been tied.

well being a husky fan it was about time tho we got a bad call go in to our favor.. We Just got screwed up in North dakota last night. Thats the second game that has cost us points so that makes us even with UW

I have to give credit to the Wisconsin coach. Although the referee clearly screwed up, as he was in poor position, the coach was incredibly respectful.Good job by the coach.

Nice, that's only the third time this year.
Denver
Anchorage
Now SCloud.

It would have changed the game, you're right, SCSU would not have gone into the defensive shell they did in order to protect the lead. My point is simple, there was still time left, plenty of it, for UW to come and score. They didn't. No one can say for sure how the game would have turned out so no one can say for sure it cost UW points.
As I said before, SCSU was screwed against Denver earlier this year, no one has said that cost us points because we still had time. Same thing applies here

Judging from where he was on the ice, he couldn't see the puck because Stephenson was in his way. He was out of position, no one is denying that.

This call would've been a LOT easier to make had the referee been in the position he was SUPPOSED to be in when the puck is down low like that (on the goal line). Instead, he was out near the side/top of the circle on the left as you are watching the video (out of the camera shot). I was at the game and nobody around us could figure out exactly why the whistle was blown.
