ECAC Hockey Video of the Week: Controversy at 2011 Red Hot Hockey

The third installment of Red Hot Hockey might have been the most exciting yet. Boston University beat Cornell 2-1 in overtime, but there was a controversy in the game that could have led to the Big Red winning the contest.

With four minutes left in regulation and the score tied at one, Cornell's John Esposito fired a shot that missed the net and hit the dasher, sending the puck into the air. Many thought the puck went up into the netting, only to see it flutter down and off the shoulder/back of BU goaltender Kieran Millan and into the net.

It is hard to tell if the puck hit the netting, but it sounds like the referee blew the whistle right before the puck went in. It's definitely a close call.

Also, a lot of people have talked about Ross Gaudet's "Tebowing" celebration after he scored the game-winning goal. I haven't been able to find a great picture or video of the celly besides this picture. If you know of a better shot, let me know.
