Match ended regulation in neutral with Jack ahead 2-1, but Ash had the riding time which would have sent it to OT if not for the extracurricular activity.I thought so too. If there was a couple of seconds left, I thought Jack might give him an escape point to even it up and go to OT. Not sure that would have been an option or not.
Ah. Forgot the riding time point was awarded after the match. Thanks.Match ended regulation in neutral with Jack ahead 2-1, but Ash had the riding time which would have sent it to OT if not for the extracurricular activity.
The one NCST coach was mouthing off and completely out of line.Ash and Jack shock hands and had no issues. Ash was mouthing off to their coaches though.
This may have been a dumb move by Ash, but it wasn't a cheap shot out of emotion as some are suggesting. AA throws that heavy left in a lot of his matches. It's not meant to be a punch in the face, more of a heavy hand to the back of the head to get opponents off balance. It's not illegal as long as he doesn't wind it up like a punch. In this case he hit Jack's face rather than his head and it looked worse than it was. Not really a wrong call by the refs, just an unfortunate one.The one NCST coach was mouthing off and completely out of line.
But like playoff hockey, unless its especially egregious, you play on and don't influence matches if you are a ref.This may have been a dumb move by Ash, but it wasn't a cheap shot out of emotion as some are suggesting.

That's what Pritzlaff seemed to have been gesturing to the refs - that Jack backed up and got hit in the face.This may have been a dumb move by Ash, but it wasn't a cheap shot out of emotion as some are suggesting.

Agreed. To send a kid to the finals and the other to consos on that call....But like playoff hockey, unless its especially egregious, you play on and don't influence matches if you are a ref.
I understand where you're coming from and that Ash uses heavy hands rather often, but this was not his usual heavy club. It had some extra oomph on it.This may have been a dumb move by Ash, but it wasn't a cheap shot out of emotion as some are suggesting. AA throws that heavy left in a lot of his matches.

NC State wouldn't have the cajones to wrestle us in the RAC with 3k screaming RU fans.I heard the nc state coach clear as day say that ash "punched him in the head". It also sounded like towards the end jack was trying to get the refs to let them wrestle. I don't know what was worse the refs decision or the fact that ash even chanced it. He knew how much time was left.
After seeing that though, I'd love to see nc state at the RAC. That coach was just awful. The way he was throwing a tantrum because ash had him right where he wanted.
I think Gravina will win.. Believe he jumped levels.. only guy to hang with Dean for full two periods from what I seen this year and Gravina's win over Renda looks more impressive now that Renda dominated Martin.Need Gravina to pull out a W to salvage this round.
