exact moment that the whistle was blown?  Well, the only camera angle that
SportsChannel had was aimed at the goalie's face, his body would have
blocked a view of a puck directly behind him in the net.  However, what's
the ref doing as he blows the whistle?  Pointing at the back of the net
to indicate a goal. THEN, by the by, the goal light comes on.
 
    It was the opinion of the SC announcers, who ran the tape several
times and even blew up the mag a bit, that the puck never stopped,
that the goalie had never made a save, and that the ref blew the whistle
when he saw the puck cross the line, not to indicate that the puck had been
tied up.

Hi Ken-
 
Sorry to disagree with you but...  The whistle clearly blew BEFORE the puck
came out from between Baker's legs. I sit at that end of the rink and saw (and
heard) exactly what happend. A shot was taken, Baker APPARENTLY made the save,
the whistle blew, and then the puck trickled through Baker's legs into the
goal.
 
I agree that the whistle was blow too soon, but nonetheless it blew BEFORE the
goal. My tape from Sportschannel seems to indicate the scenario I mantioned
above.
 
As for the bench minor, I do not disagree that a penalty should have been
called on Dartmouth (although who can blame the players on the bench from
putting their hands up in self-defense), but there clearly should have been one
on the Brown player as well for swinging the stick.
 
I agree with you that other than a few minutes of total collapse spotting Brown
3 goals, the two teams were pretty even.
