well, I can't say I *saw* it, I can say what I saw (from section 212, by
the (goalie's) left faceoff circle:
 
        the shot was high.... and then it was on the ice, kinda rolling
in a toally different direction. The ref was right on the line, and may
have seen it from the side. He called it immediatly.
 
The replay on a regular TV (instead of jumbotron) was just as
unclear. The camera missed that corner of the net, so there was no way
to see what the puck hit.

Trying to be an optimist... there were some good signs in the Badger's
play this weekend, especially against MSU. They got scoring from some
new players, and I thought they played rather well against the
Spartans. Hopefully things will come together soon...
