I wonder if UND could request non-WCHA refs for all exhibition and non-conference games.

It would be really cool if Blais made a comment about the officiating factoring into his departure. He could really make some critical comments with nothing to lose.

Foyt is good and he doesn't get to play. Radke can play in every game next year. Are you happy now?

The WCHA can't afford his hair product.

Fighting should be without the DQ

I thought there had been some situations where the home team was sent elsewhere. Plus, it is not their real home arena.

From my understanding, boarding occurs when you violently hit another player into the boards. It technically does not have to be a hit from behind, where as a checking from behind occurs when a player is not expecting to be hit and cannot defend himself. If anyone disagrees or has a better way to describe it, feel free.

What needs to happen now so we get a 2nd seed?

Are you kidding me? Dumb and Dumber were ripping on us for only having 8 goals. How many does your team have? Only two beeeeeeeeeaaaaaaccccccchhh.

I said that Foyt should have played over Marvin yesterday to add a spark to the team. I think he has played pretty well today. He is a little rusty when trying to do too much offensively, but what do you expect from someone who plays so few games and is a defenseman.

It is hard to just give up with this officiating with the game being tied. We obviously need to try, and maybe would get rewarded with a #2 seed if we win.

The FSN keeps picking up the Sioux bench, and I think it is Brandt yelling everything.

At least remote controls let you flip between commercials. On the bright side, the Wings are up 2-0 and look like they will sweep the Flyers for the Stanley Cup.

I don't remember a Sioux Gopher game that had no emotion to it. I realize it has been physical, but it still seems like neither teams cares too much.

What can UND really do? They would never switch conferences.

Here is an idea for the thread title, screw this no fighting crap. There is a place for fighting, and it was in yesterday's game. It is obvious that the refs are not going to police the game, so teams need to do it themselves. Everyone knows it has gotten out of hand with the small players using their sticks against bigger players. We now have cheap shots that are allowed too. When a ref sees a check from behind into the boards and calls it interference, he is telling everyone that the check would have been fine if the player had the puck. Players need to step up and inform them that it wasn't a good check, no matter what the incompetent ref thought.

I don't think you can say Adam did or did not affect the outcome. He did affect three minutes of power play for the Sioux. That could have led to one or more power play goals for the Sioux, and it could have led to one or more short handed goals for the sioux. I'm not sure you can really say he didn't affect the outcome then because he did change the middle part incorrectly.

The Denver Post has no mention of the incident in their article.

That is correct.

PCM, did you ever email this to Bruce or Greg?
