The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Missing the point.
Yes, they were holds. Yes, they were called. Yes, they resulted in power plays.
But they were SO obvious, and SO pointless. Almost like UMD took the penalties intentionally, to show how "tough" they were, or some such. It wasn't like they were preventing a breakaway, or...
Joy Dunne and Emma Peschel both missed their game on Friday, travelling back from National team camp, or whatever they're calling it. They also have four Europeans - three Swedish, one Finn - who might be on their Olympic teams.
-----------
Adding: they are currently dressing ten forwards...
Did UMD challenge the tying goal for offsides? Because am 100% certain that they had called their timeout earlier, after an icing; I saw the ref signal timeout and put to the UMD bench when that happened. It's moot, of course, but that final 21 seconds after Harvey's goal should have been 5-on-3...
Two of the holding calls might have been more accurately described as "horse-collar tackles" if it had been football. Clearly, UMD came in looking to play "physical", and I'm fine with that. But there's simply no way a ref doesn't see and call a horse-collar tackle. It's giving away a power...
Joy Dunne and Emma Peschel out for Ohio State (vs Bemidji). Abbey Murphy NOT out for Minnesota (vs St Cloud), I guess because Blaine is close enough for her to get back in time.
It could be as simple as she didn't want to have to 'compete' with her mother's career at Minn, Or even more simply, she grew up in/around the Cities, and wanted to experience a slice of life 'somewhere else'. Think of the Kessels growing up in Madison but going to school at Minnesota.
It seemed to me that this year Wisconsin built their non-conference schedule so as to have a "common opponent" in each of the other conferences. If there's no more Pairwise, there's no "common opponent" element to pay attention to. I wonder if going forward, this will change how teams look at NC...
This past Saturday, TJ77 brought a dvd to LaBahn of a documentary covering the 2006-07 UW women's hockey team that he had on VHS (?) and had transferred to DVD, because I had told him I could edit out the commercials, and other stuff on the DVD, and then post it somewhere for people to see it...
Maine had a skater with the puck more-or-less at one blue line, left side of the ice, making a cross ice pass to another heading towards the other blue line; it was going to turn into a pretty good chance on goal. KK casually reached out to knock the puck out the air, and headed up ice the...
