    The major on Kleven would not have been checking from behind in the NHL.  Imo we have to get the onus back on the player in the college game.  So many players are intentionally turning their backs to draw majors.  I know some players reflexively turn their back to protect themselves but they cannot call it majors when the player clearly knows the check is coming and then turns their back to the checker.  This is one of the chicken !@#$ rules I hate in college hockey.

    To me turning your back to the checker intentionally is no different than diving to draw a penalty.  Games are being won and lost on these major calls which imo are not majors.

    The difference between the college and the pro game is that in the pro game the onus is on the player being checked to not turn their back and in the college game the onus is on the checker to not make the check if a player turns their back just split seconds before being checked.   

    A check from behind is a check delivered on a player who is not aware of the impending hit, therefore unable to protect or defend himself, and contact is made on the back part of the body. When a player intentionally turns his body to create contact with his back, no penalty shall be assessed.Aug 30, 2014

    Thanks for the reply, farce. As I said, I'm no great hockey mind, but the flashes of excellence we see from Costantini remind me of early UND Caggiula. Certainly not always great, and not even always good, but at least one time per game it shows up. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm going to keep my eye on him.

    Wouldn’t it be neat if Constantini caught fire like Cagulia did in the 2016 NCAA tourney. Gaber really reminds me of Duncan, even occupies the same office. Maybe his Junior or senior they’ll be chanting Hobey Baker like they did when Duncan scored goals his hobey year. Didn’t hurt Duncan that he had pretty fair line mates to set him up.

    Who's setting up the GoFundMe to buy whistles for last night's officials?

    Apparently they don't have them. Proof? 

    • 28 was cross-checked in the low back violently in the first in front of the net
    • 20 was nearly decapitated going to the student section boards in the third
    • 17 was at minimum tripped (stick hit skate boot) late in the third

    No whistles on any of those, and those were just the egregious ones. 

    Now, before you say "let 'em play" and "I don't want officials deciding the game" ... an official that does NOT make a call can have just as much affect on a game as one who does make a call. 

    I thought the Gaber non call was a good non call. I thought the officials were consistent for both teams and imo that’s all you can ask for.

    OSU has got to be anxious about their NCAA chances now.
    They're sitting at #15 in PWR.

    Sitting at #15 still as I write this.  With the auto qualifier league tournament winners I would say OSU will be out of the national tourney.

    We were due to lay an egg. Not a huge deal. We’ve played so well and surpassed expectations.

    About six - eight weeks ago just wanted to get into the ncaa. Just to be where are now has been a blast

    I admit about 6 weeks ago I was chicken little and was screaming the sky is falling and the team proved me very wrong. This is not the end of the world if we share the cup

    It's NCAA wide, there is just no shootout done most of the time in non-conference games. 

    I like the old wcha overtime where winner takes both points if you win in overtime. NCHC gotta be different and have 3 points so they can go to this lame overtime system where both teams get participation points for a tie.

    The old WCHA 5 minute ot where winner took all and teams split if still tied after ot.  One minor adjustment of giving out 2 pts instead of three for regulation and ot wins would be all that would be needed to go back to old ot format.

     

    Giving each team a point after a reg tie is giving both teams something neither earned.

    Glad UND won but 3 on 3 is nothing more than a gimmick.  Play 5 on 5 for 10 minutes (OT) and if you want to do a shootout after that, then fine.
