Hak's comment about that strange call cracked me. I'm a little surprised there was no mention of Bishop leaving.

Thanks, PCM!

With the report on the other thread that Toews hurt his shoulder tonite, I'm not sure Hak should be looking forward to seeing Toews come back with a jump in his step. This is starting to sound a lot like a season long nagging thing. Hopefully not anything worse than that.

? - it's getting to be a softball game :D

There wasn't one hard question on the show last night. First question I would have asked out of the gate: Are you sending Kyle Radke a message by sitting him in the stands? Why is Radke sitting in the stands. Are you going to sit any other players in the stands? What are you going to do to keep the gaa per game below 4 goals. Are you bringing in another goalie next season? How was the week in practice.

There wasn't one tough question and I was surprised that Tim H didn't at least say something about losing a high energy player.

Radke's benching puzzles me as well as he seems like the only dman with attitude and tenaciousness.

You've got:

Lee, Chorney

Finley, Jones

Bina, Genoway

Radke looks like the oddman out, possible Hakstol's looking for more of an offensive spark with our blueliners? Bina has chipped in with some pretty big goals the past few weeks but I like Radke over Finley right now starting on the blue line.

I am puzzled by the move myself. I think if anything Kyle has shown a vast improvement each year and he has done the dirty work when others haven't. I think he has cut down on the penalties and if someone needed to stick up for a team mate he would be there. I suppose Hak is sending him a message but Kyle isn't the only one that needs to recieve one. Heck yeah I would sit Finley this weekend if anything and have a more moble defense corps.

Can somebody out there tell me what happened with this? Thanks in advance.

I think it woud be wrong if the league allowed them to do this. Basically like Hak said you do the crime you do the time.

DH: For me, it is what it is. If the rules say one thing, we need to stick with it. I don

Wasn't it a two or three seasons ago that UAA was allowed to spread out some player suspensions because of injuries?

Here are a couple of stories from the Anchorage Daily News about what happened:

I agree with Hak. Rules is rules.

Yeah, that was when they had 10 or 11 guys suspended for some reason. They were required to sit 4 or 5 of them in each game, but did get to spread it out.

I believe you are correct but apparently the current NCAA headshop isn't as flexible.

The league sent a special request to the NCAA asking if the suspensions could be spread out over several games, but the request was denied so both UAA and CC will have a tough go of it in their next game.

I believe that is the correct call in this case, the rules are the rules. The rules state you get in a fight you can't play your next game. The players and coaches should have thought twice before they got into a bench clearing brawl at the end of the game. Fighting in college hockey is something that happens very rarely but when it does it has consequences, that is the way the rules were written. I am sure if the league had made an exception for these teams, the league would to give other teams the same type of treatment and they would expect the same type of treatment. Good call by the league.

I just wanted to point it out because it might have been the reason that UAA thought the NCAA would do something similar in this case.

Were those previous suspensions having to do with the text book situation? I don't quite recall myself. Would the magnitude of the suspensions have forced AA to forfeit a game? Maybe that's why they allowed them to spread it out at the time. Or, were the suspensions imposed by AA, and not a result of on-ice actions?

I think that was it. But as I recall, UAA also had a situation with injuries at the time that would have left the team extremely shorthanded.

Weren't the suspensions in "Textbook-gate" self-imposed by UAA, and not a result of the NCAA action?

These are NCAA mandatory by rule suspensions.

Self-imposed allows you to define "when" (and in that case "when" included keeping a full roster available); mandatory by rule, not so much.

I believe that was about the time that signs were falling from the arena scoreboard. "And a sign fell from the sky, and smote the Seawolf."

"...and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. The woman called Suze then came to the Siouxians and pointed at them saying "You brood of vipers. In a Blaising way you overrecruiteth the bluechippahs, and leave them not for the poor and lowly, discarding the chaff as you go."
