snova4 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I just think back to past instances of Gopher players and find it hard to believe there's any innocence here. Blood comes to mind as being the most despicable human being after being slough footed either after the final horn, or as it sounded. Along with Gopher players making comments about Finley's special needs sister. I realize not everyone supports how those two handled it, but knowing myself, I'd likely have been dragging guys out of the handshake line also. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this had to have happened in this situation. I'm saying it's very possible because a nasty hit happened more than once. Wisconsin was going for him. A single player doesn't usually get singled out without having some sort of a backstory. I have yet to see Novak be any sort of instigator at all and I watch every game. In fact I would say he's been the anti-Rau so far when it comes to that aspect. You're just using your Gopher hate to try and justify what happened to him. Either way, I don't care what any player says to you, it doesn't mean you attempt to seriously injure or paralyze them, which your comments suggest is completely fine. If you had a boy playing hockey would it be okay for me to justify him being paralyzed from the neck down after a purposely dirty hit just because he "said" something to a player?

Just because someone is jawing, doesn't mean he should get hit, it just increases the chances that he might. Lol I'm using nothing of the hate you think I am, just my eyes. So, drop the whiny and just realize someone disagrees with you. Again, a single player doesn't typically take two vicious hits like that without some sort of a history/backstory.

Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 There is a right way to settle things when an opponent has a big Yap. Speaking of former large mouth Gophers I wonder if Vanilla's nose still points East when he is facing North. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse is that Eaves said he disagrees with the suspension to Wittchow and said he was going to appeal it. Just goes to show that Eaves doesn't believe in discipline. Didn't St Donnie appeal the suspension a number of years ago of a certain Gopher who kicked a DU player in the chest with his skate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I vividly remember that incident! I'm no fan of Pio hockey but I was pissed. That was such a bush league move by that Gopher player. I guess he kicked the Denver player so hard he cut through his jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't noticeably stir stuff up like Rau at all. Not even a little bit. It was just Wisconsin frustrated because they were getting their @ss beat and he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They had another text book check from behind that was only called a 2 minute boarding minor because (one can only assume) they had already had a player kicked out for it. That one wasn't on Novak. Same stuff happened last year against Wisconsin, also resulting in them getting a couple of suspensions. I do agree both hits were suspension worthy, but I still think Cavallini's should be getting a lot more notoriety for how dangerous and vicious it was. It's disgraceful. He purposely launches himself into Novak from behind to drive him head first into the boards. If you haven't seen it and want to see for yourselves: http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/big-ten/2016/1/25/10829316/big-ten-suspends-wisconsins-aidan-cavallini-and-eddie-wittchow Wow, just viewed both clips and I'm no Goofers apologist (actually a hater) by any means but those were bad hits. I actually thought the one at center ice was the most vicious. I don't know anything about the Goofer player's style of play/reputation but even if one stirs up something, those hits are way out of control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Quote This is the third straight series between Minnesota and Wisconsin where at least one player was suspended. Wittchow and Minnesota forward Vinni Lettieri were each given one game for their roles in a bench-clearing brawl last January in Minneapolis.

UNDBIZ Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 So, Kyle Connor has 15 points in 13 non-conference games and 25 points in 9 B1G games. Michigan is averaging over 6 goals per game in B1G play. Is the defense in the B1G really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither team had any sort of defensive structure. My beer league team plays better D than Michigan. All five skaters collapsed back to the net anytime Penn State had possession in their zone, or so it seemed. I think UND could goose egg them from what I saw. I'm hoping for SCSU, UND, Michigan and Minnesota for the regional at the X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky won't buy out Eaves so I doubt they pay the price for Gowz. What needs to happen is Colorado College needs to swallow some pride an take a BIG check up to Denver an hire Gowz.
