Strange article. The title is "ECACH Erred in Burgdoerfer Suspension," yet Paul Stewart fully endorsed it. The author reaches his conclusion, "flatly, the ECACH erred in tacking on a two-game suspension to Burgdoerfer's infraction," by way of some shoddy reasoning.

that was nasty ... like Patty Roy and the Québec Remparts nasty. very happy to hear the UM player is okay and the MSU coach came down hard and fast on his players. here's hoping we won't see anything like this in our games in the foreseeable future.

... and Burgdoerfer is still a goon.

I've been following the UM/MSU situation (went to grad school @ UM)............the Michigan kid who got jacked up was the same kid who got body slammed by a football player and broke a few vertebrae. Apparently his father went into the visitors locker room and was about to get into it with one of the MSU "assailants" who had been booted from the game. It was a bad situation all around.

I don't think an eye for an eye works well in college hockey, or really any level of hockey. Ask Todd Bertuzzi. I think that intentionally trying to hurt somebody is disgusting. In my mind, it's the coaching staff's duty to try to calm everyone down and keep a level head. Clean hits, ok. No problem with that.

See now, that was useful. I've been looking for some new dance moves.

Quote from: Troy RecordIt just seems apparent that had Burgdoerfer not accumulated 57 penalty minutes prior to the Cornell-RPI game, hadn't had a major and game misconduct penalty one night earlier and hadn't slashed a Cornell player seconds before the hit on Davenport,...

And, flatly, the ECACH erred in tacking on a two-game suspension to Burgdoerfer's infraction.

No, he's just sweet as can be.

The team didn't retaliate for the Scali hit last year. There were some threats yelled across the ice in Troy after that hit but if they did anything at Lynah it surely wasn't obvious.

I was hopeful that the same restraint would rule this year. We'll all be watching.

Just an update from Michigan. Kampfer (guy who got taken down) is doing ok with just a sore neck the next day. Tropp and Conboy are both off the team, and I believe both now have dropped out of school. There is a possibility of them re-enrolling next year.

Kampfer just had a day in court regarding the football player that assaulted him resulting in his earlier skull fracture. They're investigating the on-ice incident to decide if charges will be pressed.

After Kampfer went down his father broke into MSU's locker room to confront Conboy. I don't think much will come of it but he has been banned from most athletic buildings on campus.

Kampfer may play this weekend. They're taking on Notre Dame today so they'll need all the help they can get.

(Sorry. Never mind. Now I see all of the previous messages talking about this incident)
