I had the opportunity to watch the game via the Empire Network. I agree that it seemed quite clear that the puck was not shot in by a stick. However, it is NOT clear that the RPI player was the one to push it in. One could not see Garver move his hand; only his body seemed to be moving. It is just as plausible that one of the Cornell players lying on top of or near Garver (there seemed to be at least two) could have been trying to push the puck TO Elliot in order to freeze it and accidentally pushed it past him. We don't see ANYONE'S arm or hand doing the pushing so either explanation is possible. Murphy signalled a goal when he saw the puck in the net and the light on. He did his job to check with the replay officials. Gallagher and Ammian did the right thing. They didn't see who pushed the puck in either. Since they could not say conclusively that Garver pushed it in, they had to allow the goal. The only other question could have been whether or not the whistle blew bofore the puck went in; the television replay with sound showed that the puck went in first. The bottom line is that Cornell won. Move on to the NCAAs and forget one lousy goal.
