The puck was a good two inches over the goal line. The players from both teams saw it. But the ref was standing way over the corner as the play virtually stopped, and he was ignoring the Squirrels who were pointing at the puck in the net and screaming ‘It’s in!’ He didn’t bother to skate forward for a better view. Instead, after the goaltender pulled the puck back from the net and into his pads, the ref blew the whistle and called faceoff.
The puck was literally sitting still, over the line, and the Squirrels were right behind the net, looking at it in the net. If the ref didn’t see it in the net, then he should’ve blown the whistle as he lost site of it.
That would’ve made the score 1-1. Instead, the Squirrels went down 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, then 3-2 with 19 seconds remaining.

Heading into the 2nd half of the Squirrels Tuesday night match v. The Real C Team, things were looking tense for the Squirrels as they clung to a precarious one touchdown lead. Try as they may, the Real C Team goalie stonewalled the Squirrels on opportunity after opportunity to keep the game within a single touchdown. As a result, an elated Jeff Ford celebrated with great emotion as he notched the 11th goal of the game to put the Real C Team down by another field goal. Meanwhile, on the other end of the rink, Stu Miller had a spectacular night in net, stopping close to 50% of the 2 shots on goal he faced. “I was seeing the puck real well tonight and had all of my angles covered.” said Miller after the game. Despite the close score, Vice President and General Manager Ben Sumner reported that Tuesday night’s victory was the most lopsided victory in Squirrels history.
