Let's hope our fans survive the walk to the parking lot.

[quote Rita]About halfway through the 3rd and Cornell. Mugford gets a "hitting after the whistle" penalty.

Sounds like it Mugford couldn't hold-up in that the play was at the blue line and called offside.[/quote]

Actually it was just a dumb penalty, much like he had last night when 'gate scored. Hard to say he needs to turn down his intensity, but playing smarter would help.

Tonight--yes, last night--it was a crappy call.

[quote TimV]Tied at 0 in the second.  Huge brawl Part I.  North Dakota Coach Hextal flips huge bird at ref, who doesn't see it.  Another fight as I post this.  I love DirecTV.::banana::[/quote]

FYP.

Very ugly end to this game. Final score was 1-1. In the OT, A ND player got called for hooking and there was a mini-scrum and hitting after the whistle which resulted in 2 minutes in the box for a Gopher.

With just seconds left in the game there was a faceoff and a ND player cross-checks a gopher from behind, and more hitting after the whistle and punching ensue.

Given how "chippy" this game has been, you would think that the refs would just send the teams to the locker room at the end of the game. Nope. In the handshake line one of the Gophers "suckered punch" a Sioux. More fighting players without helmets and gloves.

It will be interesting to see how many players the WCHA DQ for the next game.

I wonder whether Cornell complaints about last night's non-calls could have led to ECACHL encouraging a tightly called game tonight.

Possibly, and they also have a second referee there tonight (4 total), so that could have been as a result of last nights game.[/quote]

Jason mentioned last night that they'd be going with 4 for this game.[/quote]

I also thought Jason mentioned that the ECACHL was "experimenting" with the 4 ref system for certain games. It sounds like this was already designated as a test game. A fortuitous  thing considering last night's game.[/quote]

All leagues are using 4 for some games. I believe it will be the standard next year.
