The North Dakota Fighting Sioux vs. The Quinnipiac Braves

It's not dirty. It's just good ol' hockey.

The Cliftons play that pretty well too. NoDak may wish they didn't go down this road.

The cementhead stuff aside, I love watching two great teams play. If not for the Garteig boner this is a 1-1 game.

Lucky most of Q's players didn't see it or weren't around the net when the cross check happened or somebody probably wouldn't have lived for hitting their goalie.

Especially when the refs are only calling one team for the penalties. That said UND needs to be smarter.

Yeah, a few ND guys took the hard hits and felt it on the paybacks late in the 1st.

Where are you sitting, right behind net?

Yup, a bit up too. Grad student salaries can only buy the cheap seats

BTW, the Q nickname isn't "Braves." Everyone knows they're the "Skating Deer Ticks."

No one seems to be complaining about quinnys dirty plays... on top of the list is the no-call on the contact to head in their own zone right before the Stecher penalty.

Boo hoo

BI6(7) refs if anyone was wondering whose ruining this

Re: The North Dakota Fighting Sioux vs. The Quinnipiac Braves

Another no call on quinny... wow.

[J.D.]

I'm fine with the calls on NoDak but this needs to be called on both ends... that hit on Anas was very borderline. Any healthy player is right back in the play after that and no call. He's fragile, goes down and stays down, and it's called.

What are you talking about? That was a,clear cross check all day.

[J.D.]

Oh, and imagine that... Anas is back on the ice.

He's fighting thru a shoulder injury...not hard to understand

Re: The North Dakota Fighting Sioux vs. The Quinnipiac Braves

Just saw a replay of a hit on Poganski. Shoulder to head. Was there a penalty called on it?

Re: The North Dakota Fighting Sioux vs. The Quinnipiac Braves

"Borderline calls" aint the problem with this game.

If you were playing uncalled cross-checks for shots you'd already be unconscious.

It's both teams. This is like watching a 1960's game.

A more blatant cross check just happened to a NoDak player with a no-call... take off your east coast glasses for a sec.

Physician, heal thyself.

I know the play you're talking about and I agree it should have been called. But the hit on Anas was significantly worse -- it looked like deliberate intent to injure.
