Hits from behind

[PCM]

This sounds like it would have been an interesting event to attend. I hope USCHO posts a full transcript of the discussion, especially since the issue of hits from behind was addressed. I also thought this was cool:

Injured North Dakota forward Robbie Bina made a surprise appearance as well, drawing a standing ovation.

The next step will be the open letter, a big pledge and lots of hot air, followed by the usual

"Eh, I'm tired of enforcing it. Let's let it ride." Just like interference.

Or maybe the WCHA will just ignore it.

While I can't say I was listening that closely, the question by a Lowell player was more about BS calls when a guy turns at the last second than it was about adding more enforcement. The reply was pretty much along the lines of it not always being easy for the official to judge that depending on his positioning.

There was more to it than that, but it didn't have anything to do with the Bina hit.

People were clapping for Bina when he arrived later. I was up front at that point and couldn't see who had arrived. (Okay, I'll admit some Eastern bias, I assumed it was Roy and when I couldn't see, I didn't bother trying to move to another spot where I could. It's probably my surprise of the tournament that he hasn't popped up somewhere - if that makes me sound like a rude BC bitch, sorry, but it's got nothing to do with the BC/BU rivalry.)

There were nice cheers with they got to the Hrkac Circus part of the HB video as well.
