of course the replay judge was a WCHA referee... PaPa Shepard. The
WCHA refs blew 2 video replay calls this year - why wouldn't he? lol
According to an article The officials explained it as needing to see
if the puck hit a stick. Otherwise, they felt pretty early on that
Lawson knocked the puck in with a "distinct kicking motion."
From the NCAA Rulebook under Playing Rules Section 18a.
Quote:
A goal shall be allowed if the puck has been directed into the goal
by an attacking player with the skate, unless a distinct kicking
motion is used.
Playing Rules Section 18c.
Quote:
c. A goal shall not be allowed in any of the following cases:
2. If the puck has been propelled by a distinct kicking motion, thrown
or otherwise directed into the goal by any means other than a stick
