Well, you had to see that coming.  I am sure the ECAC will take his complaints seriously, but the league isn't going to let a tirade like that go unpunished regardless of the validity of the complaints.

I felt that Mike's comments would get him the one game, however I think in the long run it will benfit not only the league but his team as well.  The guys know that their coach is not going to sit back and let them be abused by the officials.  He sends a strong message that he is an advocate for the players.  I applaud him for his actions, although the use of expliatives probably could have been avoided. But hey we've all lost our temper at some point.

With all this happening, I bet that the team comes out flying on Friday and sends a message that they support their coach 100%.

Kill Schafer, kill.

Noel was real supportive. ::rolleyes::

Cough tool uncough...

One has to wonder if this will have the opposite effect intended.  Perhaps the officials will overdo it in terms of making calls, especially in the Cornell games.  They might make him pay by taking any and all flow out of the games.  I think Schafer has a good point to make; his choice of method was just not the best. ::worry::

[Ack]

With that said, we'll see the level of maturity in the officiating pretty quickly.

Schafer is a facetimer. Now he won't be allowed to be at Friday's game. I wish all of you wouldn't be allowed in either.

Actually, is that true, that he can't go to Friday's game at all?  In other words, would he be able to watch the game from, say, the press box, or even just the stands?

I think it is only fair that he gets Cowbell Guy's seat. Although his lack of ability with the famous cheer might hurt us. Something to think about...................

Personally, I think that's bull that they suspended him. All he did was speak his mind.. what's wrong with that? Sure there was some language, but everyone there was adults and should be able to handle it. All I have to say is Schafer made a good point.. and I hope they take it into account.

At least it's the game against last-place Vermont... *knock on wood*

You know if you keep on calling people stupid facetimers you might just get rerouted to gayhitchhiker.com by one Cowbell Guy (giant facetimer).

And we wonder why you know that website and seem to love it sooooo much.::demented::
