  1. They did not play the dump the puck out of the defensive zone game every time they got the chance like they did with us. They also played them

    straight up unlike us, where they stood us up and slowed us down at the blue line. The game against Duluth was not a game of slow down, that is

    why I said Michigan did not respect Duluth's ability to play.

  2. I am still willing to give Hakstol the benefit of the doubt. He has lost some very high level recruits early or as in Tambelini case recently. This Team does not have the talent or size needed without those guys. We should be happy they are doing as well as they are with the terrible let downs we have had sickness, injury.

  3. Nothing will change in the near future unless officials call penalties. In private, coaches at this level aren't going to discourage their players from taking the occasional dive or make a slight embellishment. Why? Because it's rewarded far more often than it hurts your team and every small reward can help your team win a game, which is all that matters to the coaches. Publicly there's no doubt every coach will say they don't like it, but in reality they really won't say anything about it to players other than to be more discreet or something if they get caught.

    Wisconsin was extremely bad Friday night with their never ending diving/embellishing. Grimaldi had a pretty ridiculous embellishment in OT Friday too in which he was rewarded by drawing a holding penalty. Yes it should have been a hold on the Wisco defender, but Grimaldi also made Kyle Rau's embellishments look subtle with that one. Do you think Hakstol is going to bench Rocco for that? Hell no.

    Can't rely on coaches to bench the players. Only way to fix it is to start calling two minute minors for it every time you feel there was a dive or embellishment so that the risk outweighs the rewards of it.

    Anyone have video, I want to see this embellishment.

  4. The quotes were from Papa Shep, Supervisor of Officials, he hasn't actually reffed for a while. Hard to keep the Shepard crew straight sometimes.

    Ironic that college hockey is now thinking about this the same year that the NBA installed flopping rules.

    I still remember when he was reffing, and calling penalties. He was also terrible!
