CCHA v2.9.1 - BGSU BSU FSU LSSU MSU MTU NMU UST & Special Guests - The Augie Vikings

[manurespreader]

In case you are wondering why we have best two out of three in the first round it could be because back in the day and I do mean back, our best team lost in the first round( the old WCHA) and never made it to the tournament. MTU had been undefeated at home and had 1 or maybe two losses on the road all year. They were by far the best team in the WCHA. The playoffs were in Madison and Tech lost to a bad UND team by one goal. Tech scored the tieing goal but there was no video and the puck went in and out so fast the ref didn't see it. Gary Crosby was so mad he shoved the ref.
Anyway, after that the WCHA went away from single elimination tournaments in the first round. I think this was 70-71 or thereabouts.

Wow! If I had a nickel for every time NMU and MTU played playoff hockey overshadowed by a ticket fiasco, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

Not that weird, one was intentional the other was not.

And during a Maverick power play, IIRC......

More than once.

Yeah, that was nuts. And flying at a below-the-glass height. That had to be distracting to the players. It distracted me.

Whoever had that idea needs to have some sense slapped into them.

About the same time Mankato thought it was okay to fly a drone during game action.

AND, since when is it ok for Mankato to put a replay up on the scoreboard before the refs have ruled on it?

I think it’s always been OK. Not sure why you shouldn’t be able to do that. May not want to show calls that may go against your team.

Yeah, that was a lapse in judgment.

Wait. What???

[beaverhockeyfan]

I tried the last couple of weeks to watch Ferris at home. The video has improved a little but the players names on the back of the jersey's are still out of focus to where they cannot be read. They still have plenty of work to do on that feed. AND, since when is it ok for Mankato to put a replay up on the scoreboard before the refs have ruled on it?

Pretty sure something wonky was going on with the arena video feed. It was very jumpy early in the game. Because of that, they put the broadcast on the board.

Yes, the Wildcats kinda woke up last weekend. Hopefully they can keep it going and we get some help from St. Thomas.

[RaceBoarder]

Except, FSU has a fairly easy schedule going forward and if BSU get's swept then... Also if FSU has home ice, look out.

Are we talking about the same team that gave up 17 this weekend?
