There is one factor in the Vermont/CC goal/no goal issue that we haven't discussed. There was a real threat at the time the goal was "scored" that the ice would be unplayable. I think the officials may have felt the pressure to have the game conclude so that any borderline, or ambiguous, situation would, perhaps on an unconcious level, result in a decision causing the game to conclude so the icemaking plant could be repaired. I am *not* implying that the officials were biased against Vermont, but clearly many were wondering how long the game *could* rather than would continue.
