I don't get the logic from Motzko, UND is the most penalized team in the WCHA however, there have been two DQ's all year, he must be using Donny Lucia logic. I know he has said that about UND in the past too.
I would say most teams in our league play hard nosed hockey and a fight could happen at any moment if the refs let the play get out of hand like they did on Saturday night... Even the Gophers play hard nosed hockey, recieving one DQ for Harrington's scrum on Saturday night of the Niagra game. We can debate wether it was a DQ or not but it wasn't changed.
Running the goalie is a trick I see happening a lot lately. Denver was doing it a lot too when they played UND earlier in the season. I have seen the Sterling runs over the years too. For a small guy Sterlin has a yellow stripe down the back of his jersey he is mean. , I am pretty sure he will cool it if he ever makes it to the NHL.
If I remember right SCSU are not a bunch of choir boys. I can remember a series in 1998 or 1999 when they sent a player out to do a dirty deed that had to be responded to by Matt Henderson coming off the bench and pummeling a SCSU player. I can remember Blaiser on being asked if they sent that player out, said, you don't want me to answer that question.
If I remember right Gaffenany got his ass kicked by someone I believe Commodore a few years back too.
