Schafer Suspended One Game

Why is it a heinous offense for another coach to make contact with his own player and okay for Schafer to grab an opposing player?

Seems that the commish does not share that view and frankly, I think he was fortunate to get only a one game suspension.[/q]

*snort*...  "make contact with".  Spin much?

Still, Rich has a point. Schafer was wrong. He admits it himself. So, support him, but do not support his conduct.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Was he frustrated the refs weren't doing their job at the end of the game ?   Sounds like it from earlier comments.

Thats a real challenge for a coach at any level; I've felt it myself at the HS level.   Hagwell seems to be indicating he's holding the coach to a higher standard.  That's a good message for Schafer; on occasion I think his arrogance crosses the line.

Hopefully he investigates the officials too.

Call it whatever you like.  ::rolleyes::

Well, you certainly chose to call it something that served your purpose.  ::rolleyes::

Don't try to clean it up, it was poor form and leave it at that.

[Rich S]

So did you guys for quite awhile after the incident.  

I'm quite sure my understanding of the situation is closer to what took place than your version which you guys spun to characterize the guy as a sort of axe murderer.

Call it whatever you like means just that...it's in the past and you guys are convinced of what happened.

Acknowledge what Schafer did (the "grabbing") was wrong.  Don't support that part of jis behavior in the incident.

Pretty sure many of us have already done that, Rich.  And it wasn't because you said we had to.

How many stiches did that MSU player need again?  



I mean, that was vicious contact with his jersey - might have burst a seam that would need darning...

It was more than just hearsay, since SHagwell was at the game, and presumably had a good view of the altercation from the zamboni door.  (Of course, I was in a similar vantage point in A, and managed to miss the inicident, mostly because I was busy yelling at the MSU players for being a bunch of classless punks.  I did see Schafer yell at the student section after the bottle-throwing, though.)

i wasnt there...but in my opinion if an opposing coach touches another player then he should be disciplined. that is that. now lets get a bunch of points this weekend, red

[evilnaturedrobot]

It was wrong of him to touch another player, but this ie rediculous when you look at in context.  Schafer touches an aposing player and he's gone for a game.  Potter fires a puck into the stands and is back on the ice for the third period.  Which was the more dangerous offnese?

Fuck Feola!

Hurray for you Beej.   ::rolleyes::  

But, I didn't say you "had" to; it was merely a suggestion.
