ECAC:

The ECAC didn’t plunge a knife into my team and try to kill it.

FTR CCHA peeps, I like all of you personally but I hope your programs suffer endlessly.

Waaaaaaay ahead of you on that one. My team hasn't had notable success since rejoining the CCHA in 1997.

The ECAC can go to hell. :^)

In fairness, about UAA, they would not be anywhere near as good if it wasn’t for the transfer portal. For UAA, the transfer portal has been a fundamental game changer.

This play (start 1:13:11) is a prime example of what I hate about hockey officiating (and especially college hockey officiating).

UAF #4 clearly starts the whole scuffle by going after UAA #79 after the whistle and yet is only given two minutes. UAA is already getting a five minute penalty so there’s no need to do it. If UAF gets upset that they end up with a five as well you tell them tough s-, let me handle it next time. Stop trying to bend things to a conclusion you feel is equitable and this s- won’t happen.

Why does #4 deserve more than 2? He never threw anything close to a punch at any moment that is visible in that that video.

He instigates the entire situation by going after #79 after the whistle.

That happens all the time without a player getting a major.

Soo im thinking the Ohio state player who speared a gopher on the bench in front of the ref might be getting an additional suspension?

unrelated, on the college hockey sub on Reddit, someone asked why so fewer Massachusetts residents are populating college hockey teams.

the answers were interesting and like many things in life, there’s often multiple factors.

I’ve heard many MA hockey people lament over the years that the reason why MN has left them in the dust from a development factor was because of minnesotas emphasis on community hockey where as MA emphasizes prep hockey. But I didn’t realize that MA ended up privatizing many of their ice rinks???

that makes me so sad. I cannot imagine our rinks being privatized to get more profit and it better not ever happen here. Hockey is already exclusionary for cost. Heck my city just approved a tax levy for another indoor rink at the local arena and we already have multiple- but the sheer amount of girl and boys youth teams mean we need more ice.

I just saw a clip of the spear in slow motion. Definitely should get an additional suspension. Or sent to the Federal Hockey League.

The lineman was all over him, too. Just unhinged

If he got an actual spearing penalty that usually carries with it a game disqualification. If so, he'll miss OSUs next game at least. Frankly that's a penalty that should NOT have an option in the supplemental misconduct or disqualification, it should always be a DQ.

Ohio State was a little short-handed Friday since two players, Scooter Brickley and Riley Hughes were DQ'd for Friday's game due to fighting majors in the previous weekend's game against Notre Dame.

He did get a dq so I believe he’s out at least one game. I was shocked when I heard it announced as I can’t remember the last time I heard a spearing penalty called

the video shows how bad it was. He skates up to bench and spears snuggerud right in front of linesman who promptly bodyslams him.

it was premeditated and unhinged which is why I wonder if he gets more games. Even rohlik looked speechless

[state of hockey]

If Rohlik isn’t complaining it is bad. The linesman putting him down fast and hard likely kept things from going any further, so thanks to him for that! We don’t need anyone sitting against Michigan State.
