      Some of this is just part of hockey. But IMO it crossed the line tonight.

      Last year when Jesse Martin was very nearly killed, we got lectures from Sioux fans about how "he had his head down." That seemed to me to miss the gravity of the situation a bit. Then tonight pious Gopher fans lined up to criticize me for suggesting someone should insert a stick in Rau's rump and break it off. Why, lordy, you can't suggest physical violence against a player, even one who deliberately hurt one of the better players in the league. That wouldn't be cricket. Bosh. As if those same pious people wouldn't have approximately the same response if the situation were reversed. My hypocrisyometer went off big time.

      Now the truth of the matter is I don't want anything to happen to Rau (although losing a handfull of his teeth wouldn't bother me much) I was just blowing off steam. As almost anyone would under similar circumstances.
      As to what, if any, punishment will be coming his way, anything is fine by me. Of far more importance is JZ's health and quick return to the lineup. DU's had more than it's share of injuries this year and just can't stand to lose more players. Especially first rate players like JZ.
      Bottom line most important thing is the player's condition. Based on what Gwoz said post game, I'm optimistic. " No head or neck trauma and went for x-rays as a precautionary measure". He's a tough kid. He'll be back soon. GREAT WIN FOR THE PIOS!!!!!

        And yes, if a player commits a dangerous hit against another player as Rau did, a suspension should definitely be in play as a means of punishment. If you believe an injury or lack thereof shouldn't enter into it, you're being naive with regard to how the league handles these things.

            What did Rau get called for? 5 minutes for charging and a DQ?

              All this thread needs is Kevin Costner to replay the footage over and over again while attempting to convince us of his bat**** conclusion as to what happened.

              It isn't exactly Zapruder, but it's getting **** close.

              Oh, and Woog > Dx. So there.

                    I sure as hell hope he's back in the next few weeks. Mostly for selfish Minnesota Wild based reasons. But also because I don't like seeing kids get hurt/
