    And as an aside, I despise the Seawolves. But according to BG announcers, every time a Falcon hit the the the ice they were brought down without a call. And every time a Seawolve hit the ice they slipped or fell. I admit that the Seawolves suck and can't skate, but that's beside the point, give me a break. BG announcers are a bunch of homers. It gags me me to give the Seawolves a compliment, even back-handed.
    There was a lot of BG players receiving checks to the numbers. It went uncalled all night. If the "obstruction crackdown" hadn't ended, there would have been a lot of 4 on 3 and 3 on 3 play throughout the game.

      Yeah, that didn't last very long, did it?
      My guy is a hard-nosed hockey player who is not afraid to crash the net. Your guy is a goon who runs the goalie.

          It's absolutely frustrating as a fan because it is still enforced at very random times. Can't imagine what it's like to be a player or coach right now.

              You're asking how often a Friday game result ended up changing the overall series prediction? I could (and maybe should) re-run every Saturday. I'll probably wait until I'm running to the end of the season.

                I don't think all is lost. They only dropped to 10th and have five non-conference games left to make some noise. I think this loss will do them some good and wake them up.

                  The big problem there is that NCHC and HEA teams generally rise in Pairwise as they play each other more in conference play. You're not getting help from UAH in PWR.

                    Yeah, as I was tunning kids to hockey practice and hanging Christmas lights, I came to the some of the same conclusions. The Beavers definitely made things harder on themselces with last night's loss.

                          All 10 of us are cursed in non-conference play. There's no other logical explanation.

                            Wow......BSU may have just put the final nail in the WCHA PairWise coffin with these two loses. Looks like all that is going to matter is winning that on home ice WCHA Playoff title now.

                            BG dropped from 31 to 37 with BSU's loss tonight.

                            I doubt that BG's remaining games against Mercyhurst and RIT are going to help anyone at all......not that we don't deserve much of the blame with our pathetic October against NCHC and B1G teams.

                              The WCHA NC record is absolutely brutal. I won't be surprised if there's only one WCHA team in the NCAA tournament once again.

                                We had one in Kato earlier this year. I don't follow the referees much (Except when we have the Shepherds. Then I just get sad.), but there must be one in regular WCHA rotation.
