NORTH DAKOTA @ MINNESOTA - Saturday, one last dance....

Rau should have gotten at least head contact. I slowed it down on DVIR. As soon as he lets go of the puck he lifts both of his fists to Mac's head when he's about to get hit.

Coincidental penalties was the right call.

Alright, I only saw it once. Since it wasn't on screen when it happened, I only saw one replay. If Rau lifted his hands up that probably explains why it flew up as awkwardly as he did.

Isn't Contact to the Head supposed to be an automatic 5-minute? ;)

Rau's got balls, gotta give him that. If I were a Gopher fan, I'd be unhappy about Rau in the box, too. But...MacWilliam's initially hit was just a solid hit, but the after stuff probably wasn't necessary.

No he doesn't, there is no fighting.

Good tempo to this game. UND came out strong. Shots are very misleading...Fox Sports North actually put a stat up that said MN has had 10 quality scoring chances- they must've meant shots.

This has been a very good period for both teams.

FSN has now adjusted their stats.

If you look at the stats they are showing, you would think UND is lucky to be in the game. The game I've been watching has been very even.

Establishing a forecheck is more important than getting off a shot from the point.

I would guess that time on attack is dead even.

We can't afford to lose Mac back there. He is our only physical defenseman. I'd say turn Steph Pattyn loose on Rau.

That may happen later. I'm tired of Mac getting penalties for checking too hard...rediculous.

So if you put your hands up to protect yourself from a check, that's 5 minutes for head contact? Are you really serious or is this just a heat of the moment in game thing? In 1,000,000 years you will never see a referee anywhere give 5 minutes or even 2 minutes for that. You can hate Rau all you want. if he wasn't on my team I would too, but don't be ridiculous. Both guys deserved a penalty. I don't think either did enough to warrant a double minor but calling for a major? Get serious.
