It's about time to begin that yearly second half Sucks charge.[/quote]

You mean aside from totally choking in the Beanpot.  (The upset of BC earlier this season notwithstanding.)

Nate Leaman returns from World Juniors for third period as Dutchmen can't quite keep their fingers in the dike.

I find this rather strange, but it seems that Nick Dodge will have to miss Clarkson's next game against Colgate for his high-sticking DQ in Clarkson's exhibition win vs. McGill.

Not that I'm complaining (cuz Clarkson sucks), but exhibitions against Canadian universities aren't real games, and to effect on ECAC league play seems quizzical.

The only alternatives are:

1) A game DQ in an exhibition game wouldn't affect you at all, which would open the door to consequence-free violent play in exhibition games; or
2) A game DQ in an exhibition game means you can't play in the next exhibition game, which could be as much as a year away.

Neither makes anywhere near as much sense as:  A game DQ is a game DQ.  You miss the next game, period.

I don't see what Suzanne Hanrahan has to do with any of this.

except Dodge was booted for injuring the McGill player, who was wearing a half face shield, but a full cage*. if the player had a full cage, the injury would not have occurred

*I have no first hand knowledge of this, only what I have heard from friends[/quote]IMO, the extent of the injury shouldn't have any effect on whether a major or DQ is called.  If Dodge took a swing at the guys head with intent it's worthy of a major/DQ whether or not the opponent was hurt or not.     based on this standard it makes no difference whether the McGill player was wearing a full face shield or a half-shield.

Now, we all know that referees often base their calls on the extent of injury.  But that's not the point.

[Dpperk29]

yes referees almost always base there penalties on severity of injuries. but from what I have HEARD about the incident, if the guy had a facemask on it would have been almost a non-issue 2 minute minor. Blood makes things look alot worse

[Rich S]

From what those at the game said, there was clearly no intent.  It was an accident all the way.

However, using the "you are responsible for your stick" rule, it's still a major.  But a DQ?  That's a judgement call.
