One classless move triggered the second:
- The head shot was classless and deserved to be resolved
- The flying cross check, instead of a man-up "Let's go", challenge is the second.*
* The video I saw talked up Reilly for "defending his teammate" and how the NHLers will notice and love that. What I saw was a boy's approach to a man's problem, and the NHLers will notice, but won't love, that. Reilly should've skated up, popped his bucket off, dropped his gloves, and asked Wittchow to step up and step in. A flying cross check shows you weren't in control of your emotions and the situation; stepping up shows who's in charge.
You keep seeing what you want to see. -
And if it was UND, you'd be calling them classless. It goes both ways.
No I wouldn't. I have no problem with players sticking up for a teammate. There was only one classless move in this case and that was the hit to Bristedt's head.
-
My take on the situation....a lot of classless hockey players. Except for rumpel. Gotta give him credit for sticking up for his guy when he's being tag teamed my some classless gophers.
Wisconsin took an intentional cheap shot and the Gophers responded. If UND players acted the same way you would be praising them for sticking up for a teammate but of course when it's the Gophers they're classless. And that 2-1 scrum you guys keep mentioning is much about nothing. That happens every time there is a scrum of this size, every damn time. Players just start grabbing people and sometimes you'll see a 2-1 for a few seconds. The 2 Gopher players didn't plan it and the 3 Badger guys didn't plan the 3-1 scrum either. It just happens.
-
Never mind Mariucci. I found a video that shows the start of the altercation (after the initial penalty) and yes, clearly a Gopher player was surrounded and being closely escorted by three Badger players. That certainly justifies other Gopher players coming to his aid. It does not justify leaving the bench or going 2 on 1 on a Badger player, but things happen quickly at such times.
I'm pretty sure Letteiri left the bench because Skjei was coming out of the penalty box and heading to the bench and Letteiri would replace him. But as Skjei got near the bench that's when the hit happened so Skjei immediately went to Bristedt's defense and Letteiri was already coming onto the ice. This seems logical as I can't imagine he would be dumb enough to leave the bench for the sole purpose of fighting knowing the consequences.
-
I did see two goofers double team a bucky player. Nothing new.
So you didn't see the 3 Badgers triple teaming a Gopher then?
-
Whistle had blown.So if it's not a penalty, why didn't the goal count?
-
....and no penalty called. Pretty simple stuff.So, Mariucci, where were we? Oh yea, now I remember...
Rau crashes into Rumpel...puck goes in net...referee waves off goal. No inadvertent whistle, no losing sight of the puck, but no goal. Hmnnnn...
-
MIchigan? Yes, they can score. But they cannot play D.
They're certainly capable of outscoring a team on a given night.
-
Cool story.You Gopher fans claim you have won the title in October.
-
It's January. The Gophers have played 2 conference home games. The season just started.If the season ended today Penn State would be the only B1G team to make the NCAA.
-
When it's all said and done I think Michigan and the Gophers make the tourney and both are good enough to make a run. Michigan has been one of the better teams in the country after their tough start.Little 6 has no one in the top 16. Next week Michigan plays with poison. There is no upside playing the Badgers. Gophers get to the tough part of their schedule playing Mankato and possibly Duluth.
-
It's innate.No kidding. It's amazing. He's always Johnny on the spot to defend the honor of his Gophers. No matter the time or location. He will be there.
-
Because he was selling it to draw a penalty and the ref didn't buy it. The refs disagreed with you guys on both plays and its not tough to figure out why. You guys see what you want to see when it's about the Gophers and especially Rau.Then way was Rumple knocked into his own net after Rau ran him over?
-
Says the UND fan with green colored glasses on. Rau barely touched Rumpel which is why the ref who had a perfect view didn't call a penalty. And there was zero embellishment when he was cross checked. He went down and immediately got up. He did nothing to sell it.Says the Gopher fan with his Maroon & Gold glasses on. Get real man.
I watched the game and yes, yes they did.
-
Neither of those plays happened as you described.Gotta love Kyle Rau...seconds into the game, he careens into Rumpel in the crease and bowls him over without himself recoiling at all. Then in the 3rd period, he's carrying the puck into the zone and a Badger D-man puts his stick into his back, Rau crumples to the ice like he just took a two-handed slash to the back of his right calf. No penalty on the Rumpel play...2:00 on Wisconsin for cross-checking in the 3rd. Unbelievable.
-
They have one of the best group of forwards in the country. Young but scary good.10-6 Michigan now!
-
If true, that irks me. That should be a 2:00 penalty. Nothing worse than a guy acting hurt to sell a call, then popping up and ready to go to start the PP. I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the team (and player) involved.
Well it's not true so you can rest easy. The simple fact that it was Rau who took the cheap shot results in UND fans automatically dismissing it just shows a lack of objectivity. Announcer Rob Andringa immediately said it was a five and the replay confirmed it. And someone please explain to me the notion that a player can't take a cheap shot that results in a major but still be ok enough to play the next shift.
-
Great game. Things just aren't clicking for the Gophers. Played a very good road game and still lose. Good thing its early January. Knowing your team hasn't come close to peaking is exciting but also nerve racking wondering if it will happen.Michigan Beats Minnesota 4-3
On a side note, with all the talk of the BIG hockey conference being down there is still no doubt that it has two teams very capable of winning it all. And I really think it's as down as it can be.
-
And there's some justice...Michigan ties it up.
Justice? That would mean the major was a bad call.
-
He crumpled? Your bias is embarrassing. As obvious as a 5 minute major gets.LOL! Any guesses who immediately afterward crumples in a heap in the corner on the next shift, leading to a 5:00 boarding call on Michigan?
-
Not by design. There were technical difficulties with the typical camera angle so they needed to use the other.They used the camera behind the Michigan net for the first 6 minutes of the game.
-
I should have said best atmosphere during league play. Place looks dead tonight lots of empty seats.You'll love it, best arena in the Big Ten as far as atmosphere goes.
-
I'll be headed there as well. Excited to catch my first college game at Williams arena.
You'll love it, best arena in the Big Ten as far as atmosphere goes.

Their student section. When UND plays there, they know like a handful of chants they repeat the same ones over and over again. All of which they copied from Wisconsin.
Name one cheer that we "copied" from UW please.

Of course I'm not. What would UND fans know about class?
