The Sicatoka

The UMD left hand tug on Hammond's left shoulder was interference. It is designed to put the opponent off stride and to give an advantage. Zach Parise is a master of the "little tug" technique but he uses the stick to give just a nibble of a tug on the shoulder but it's enough to give an advantage.

The officials say they don't want to be the deciding factor in the game. Have they ever considered that by not calling the game by the rules they are deciding the game in favor of the team that goes the furthest outside the rules?

That's so cute. You actually think that nostalgic idea of "enforcing" a "rule book" is something we should still do. The hit that happened from behind at the benches, when I happened I said if that's not a major there's not a major to be called in this game.

Worked Nick Schmaltz. He stripped a lot of pucks off of sticks.

Sidebar: I saw the rules about booting you off if no one takes the "volunteer your seat" offer yesterday. If they boot you, if they get you there 1-2 hours late (versus original arrival time) they owe you 2x the price of your ticket. If they boot you, and if they get you there more than 2 hours late (versus original arrival time) they owe you at least 4x the price of your ticket!

Pogo, Simo, and Olson are seniors. (Sorry Cam, you're a goalie.) Gardner (a junior) seems likely to be back as a senior (moreso than Gersich, who'd be the other choice).

No Tampa. No Nashville.

Creepin' the social media ... However, if they had it there in the past and removed it, well, in the trade that's called "a tell".

2016 is hung. Windshield, not mirror.

<-- green sandpaper

I thought I heard something about Buffalo also.

2018-2022 in order: St. Paul, Detroit, Buffalo, Boston, Pittsburgh Dare I say, uninspiring. The only highlight is 2019 in DET at the new arena.

I've been holding my tongue; but, it needs to be said: I attended a couple WIH games at UND in person; I watched a couple on TV. Forget the checking aspect; contact aside, if I want to see that level of speed and skill again I'll attend the NDHSAA West Regional boys playoffs.

Once the $2 million loss number, or the $60 million endowment numbers came out, people started to realize ...

Oshie WAS Panarin CHI Eaves ANA Draisaitl EDM Kessel PIT Marchand BOS Schultz PIT Shattenkirk WAS Keith CHI Giordano CGY

Based on ... I'm not saying you're wrong; I could see it.

Correct. That was interference. It just happened to cause substantial damage.

That's the mindset of every budget-meister in every large bureaucracy anywhere. --> If we don't spend it they won't give us as much next year!

That's because you have that confounded-rock-and-roll-rot-yur-brain-music turned up too durn loud on them thar ear thingies from yer eyePod. And get yur dog off my yard! < shaking fist > Holy crap! I think I was channeling PCM there for a minute.

It's my effort to increase scoring.

Put the second referee up in the press box already! And I know it's non-traditional, but I still like the 5 points per game in the standings idea too (same link).

So this isn't you pledging to the cause?

I'd still guess MTU will lose Mel Pearson to MGoBlue.

With the final game over, it's almost time to put a bow on this thread. Final PWR: https://collegehockeyranked.com/rankings/pwr/ Final KRACH: https://collegehockeyranked.com/rankings/krach/ Final Massey: http://mratings.com/ch/ncaa-d1/ratings All three have the first six the same: DU, UMD, Harvard, UMLowell, BU, WMU.
