North Dakota @ St. Cloud - Saturday

[Snake]

The only replay I saw, which was full speed, also made it look like it should have been a goal.

Quite the "save" though!

[WiSioux]

SHOTS:

UND 7

SCSU 6

[WiSioux]

SCSU with a great chance in a little scramble

[WiSioux]

Rocco with a shot

[WiSioux]

SCSU power play... Schmaltz with a five min major

[WiSioux]

According to Brad it looked identical to a SCSU hit last night that was called a minor... he was trying to make a point about the consistency, not whether or not it is a penalty.

[Snake]

Stupid and unnecessary regardless of severity.

[WiSioux]

Saunders with a big save!

Stupid and unnecessary regardless of severity.

The referees job is to be consistent.

End of the first period

UND 1

SCSU 1

[Hawkster]

I really had thought UND would dominate the clowns more in that period.

[Snake]

The referees job is to be consistent.

Their job is to call dangerous hits major penalties. Just because they may have missed one last night doesn't mean they have to be consistently wrong.

[passit_offthegoalie]

I've seen that hit called a boarding, or nothing. Never seen it called a 5 minute major.

These refs are an embarrassment for college hockey, again. Unbelievable

Three big calls go against UND in that first period -- the Pattyn no goal, the whistle when Saunders didn't cover the puck and the 5 against Schmaltz.

That wasn't a 5 minute major. I could find 5 million hits like that that were called boarding, or not whistled for a penalty at all.

SCSU guy wasn't in danger, he purposely collapsed to draw a penalty and it worked. Schmaltz barely touched him.

Not the least bit surprising call. You make that hit, borderline though it was, you expect that call.

Exactly.

[passit_offthegoalie]

Well, this game is over. We're down a top pairing defensemen and SCSU has 4 and half minutes on a clean sheet.

I guess if you guys don't care that it's based on a blown call, that's your problems.

Good call and Schmaltz knew it which is why he didn't even bother going to the box.

I guess if you don't think the team can overcome this then you're not much of a fan.

Penalty no doubt about it but 5 minutes was a stretch. Time for UND to buckle down

Don't be a quiter, passit--there's a lot of hockey left.

But if SCSU gets 2 out of this, it will be a long way back.

[DirtyBird]

The next four minutes and 47 seconds will go a long way to how this game turns out.
