UND vs. WMU -- Frozen Faceoff Semis

[The Sicatoka]

Starman’s rant during that review was epic. 

His points:

- no super slow motion to look at it

- no major if the player put themselves in the vulnerable position at the last second to draw the hit

[The Sicatoka]

That play, turn yourself to draw the CFB/boarding, will continue until the rules change … or something unspeakable happens from a hit.

Pretty sure the NHL doesn’t consider that a penalty/major if you put yourself in that position...but then again, this is not the NHL.

If all higher seeds lose, we finish #7.
UMD/WMU is the game that affects us the most, for sure.
In most scenarios, if WMU wins, looks like we finish 7 or 8.
In most scenarios, if UMD wins, we finish 8 or 9.

This is with UMD and all favorites winning

Kind of like football now where receivers can go over the middle with no repercussions.  

Turn late, get hit, fall and its a review.  It's not going away, so like those free safeties in football that have to ease up, the same goes for guys going into the wall to hit somebody.  

I just can't see a "don't put yourself in a vulnerable position" rule.  Way too much gray area there for the officials to deal with.

UND was worried about going to Loveland.

It’s shaping up to be DU and Minnesota there.

Hey! Can they BOTH lose?  ;

Yeah they fixed the error with UND having an extra loss, so now there’s no way to get UND to #9 and it changed all the predictions right after the UND/WMU game was over.

I’d like to see that.

The real loser is the next game….IMHO. UND would have been a better opponent….??Duluth tomorrow.

But in football, if you are the ball carrier, all bets are off and spearing a db is completely within the rules

As the box score shows UND with another major........

Turn at the last second. And took longer to review it then the actual play itself.

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.

no grey area at all you turn no penalty.

This gives a player free reign to check another player who turns their back to them.

That is the NHL rule. NCAA puts 100% of the onus on the player delivering the hit, and that's not going away anytime soon.

My coach taught me as a Pee Wee not to turn into the boards when being checked. These are damn near pro players. They are doing it intentionally.

Yep, I’m coaching my sons league currently and we tell them the same thing. 
They are for sure doing it intentionally and will continue to do so when they can get 5min PP out of it. 

[siouxweet]

Don't forget the part where they are laying on the ice like they got hit by a car and then come right back out on the power play.

[bcblues]

Duluth scores first.

[Vegas_Sioux]

So watching Duluth and western they both turn in the corner.

I say unload on them if they do that on purpose and tell that’s how they do it in the nhl.
