Re: Michigan Wolverines 2011-2012 hockey thread

I hope the CCHA does review the officiating and running the goalie. Sadly, it was made all too clear during the Notre Dame series that these officials would allow such things.

I know everyone always b* at officials. I remember when I thought McInchak was the worst official in the league, now I think he's the best. I would love to go back to 3 officials so some of these glorified linesman could go back to being linesman. Such as Sergott. I've seen better officials for Never Ever games at the Ice Cube. My favorite reason to hate Sergott as an official is the Adrian game I went to. He missed 2 GOALS. During a break in play the goal judge came out on the ice to talk to him.


In other news, tonight's game has been declared "Don Cherry Night" but some of the student section, everyone is welcome to participate by dressing like Don Cherry.

FWIW, you're right about McInchak. He's done 11 of the 29 games Michigan has played. Pochmara is next, having done 9 of the 29 games. Hill (Sergott's partner last night) has done 7 and Lacina has done 7.

Hi.

I remember that game. After the 2nd goal he called the goal judge out to ask him about it. The goal judge was adamant about the puck crossing the line, going into great detail about how and where the puck went in. Afterwards Sergott still disallowed the goal.

I'll be making another appearance at Yost in a couple weeks, against NMU.

YOU SUCK E!

I bet you couldn't bank a shot off of both corners of the opening (and stay out) again in a million shots. That was heartbreaking.

I could not see the shot (Zamboni was in the way) but at least the other two guys were able to put it in. As a team, you guys went nearly 67%.

Closest attempt by far. Can't really believe I hit both 'posts' on the first shot. Now I have to wait a few years to try again. Funny enough, mrs Alfa did it as a lark- first time I entered for at least two seasons.

Red is not happy:

And who buys the line that Ricky was upset with his team. I don't. The team played that hack way all night to our major advantage since they all forgot how to shoot the puck.

Rick blasé needs to contain his team a litte better.

Can anyone tell me if a 5:00 major penalty still carries an automatic "Game Disqualification"?

I'm not sure but I think at one time it did.

I seriously doubt it - call it pay back for leaving and allowing the CCHA to dissolve.

Sad, but TRUE! I REALLY miss Piotrowski. I thought with him as Director of Officiating the quality would go up.

If it was a match penalty, which it wasn't, it could at the discretion of the officials be a GDQ. In this case, it is treated like a 5 minute HFB and a gamer only.

Edit: Alton is correct- a gamer at the discretion of the official.

No, it never did. Certain majors (such as fighting) carry an automatic DQ, others (such has HFB) have an automatic game misconduct or DQ at the ref's discretion, but a charging major does not even have an automatic game misconduct, let alone an automatic DQ.

Piotrowski and the Shegii. Today, we long (?) for McInchak, Aaron, Hill, Pochmara... then pray.

Sergott is the only official that makes Wilkins look good.

No kidding. I'm sure that after Coleman got the 5 min major (with less than 2 seconds left in the game) for cross checking Hunwick into the net Ricky asked him 'where was that all night?'.

I just hope MIchigan doesn't try to get even, but rather play to win the game.

I think Red already laid that out there. But he also emphasized that it is up to the officials to keep control.

Our guys were not free from committing penalties, but my gosh, how many blatant bumps, pushes etc. is Hunwick going to take before he snaps again?
And the Miami choir is singing a different tune in their thread about how Hunwick dives and the Miami players are being pushed and xchecked into him.

Can any of you hockey geniuses out there tell me who was the FIRST U.S. citizen to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup?

HINT: he has ties to U-M!

Re: Michigan Wolverines 2011-2012 hockey thread

Very satisfying win, very satisfying sweep. Can't say it was that satisfying of a shutout, since Miami didnt' seem to try to score all night, save the breakaway. Even the opening penalty- no shot. It was apparent pretty quickly that rickie blase was very happy with his team last night, and asked them to do MORE of it tonight, with the result of one less goal. Nice.

Thanks to the pretty pathetic reffing, we also got treated to what kind of hacks he breeds down there in Miami. To see Weber hack all night, and then the moment we hit their goalie ONCE, just like they did all weekend, and more so, he goes ballistic and gets into a fight with Brown. Maybe it was also weak payback that Brown so easily made both the Miami D and knapp look pretty pathetic... who knows. But thanks to him being a thug, Brown gets to sit out a game next week.

Ineteresting weekend- it was both the worst officiating I've ever seen (back to back hits to the head 5min, which didn't seem like either was that) and zero control, AND it was one of the most pathetic displays of hockey from rickie blase I've seen. Miami used to be that bad.

Anyway, onward and upward.

Re: Michigan Wolverines 2011-2012 hockey thread

Another winning effort by Sergott and Co. tonight. Seriously, what a disgrace.

Looked clear as day from my vantage point in section 8, with a direct view of the goal line, Miami got jobbed on that goal, but tough luck on the replay. Them's the rules, I guess. Great win, even if Miami tried to thug it up at the end. Bummer it's going to cost us Brown next weekend, but they had nothing to lose with the game out of hand and UAH next weekend. Bring on the goons, it's garbage time.
