I caught most of the game on the YesFM radio stream. It sounded like the Lakers played pretty well defensively for the first half of the game. Not so much the last half of the game.

Penalties hurt the Lakers. The 2nd would have been completely different if they didn’t put themselves in that position. Then when the Lakers got up 4-2 in the 3rd, I think they felt like it was over and Ferris capitalized in part because of a dumb Humitz penalty.
Humitz had a strange night. Stopped on a penalty shot (awarded after the Ferris player gloved the puck and threw it), fanned on a breakaway, and committed a costly penalty late. And then redemption scoring the OT winner on a great shot with 16 seconds left in OT.

Zero goals combined first half of the game but 9 goals combined the second half of the game. Very strange.
Nice to see the Lakers get a sweep at home against a team the Lakers should beat twice seeing Ferris State is picked to finish towards the bottom. Also nice to see the Lakers have 2 Saturday night home wins already. Last season we didn't get our first Saturday night home win until mid February.

Yeah, they did what they needed to do although the last few minutes of each game left a bit of a bad taste in the mouth.
Let's hope Nordqvist isn't hurt too bad. We're already without our fastest skater at forward (Gelsinger). Nordqvist is our fastest skater at D. Should have some news about him by this week's Laker Hockey Show.

I hope there is a suspension handed down to Ferris. They play dirty.
I decided to upload the kneeing penalty (Lutz on Nordqvist) since I really do think it needs more visibility for those who haven't seen it. The WCHA ought to do something.

Wow. That does look bad. The weird part is, Lutz only had 10 PIM in his first 3 years at Ferris. Not a guy you'd expect to do something like this.

Ferris had 2 players each take majors + game, and get a suspension each of the last two weeks going into the previous weekend. This weekend made 4 in three weeks with the second ejection.
The WCHA should really be taking a look at the program in general, I think. I mean, 4 majors in 3 weeks? that seems a bit excessive.

Here's Ferris State's other major penalty in the game. Coale Norris boarding Colin Saccoman.

Within the bounds of the rule book, what exactly should the league do? Within the bounds of WCHA & NCAA rules, what action should the taken?

I don't think you can suspend in this one. The initial contact is made at the goal line with the Saccoman trying to slow up Norris on the way in. Looks like to me Saccoman goes one way and then realizes Norris is going the other and somewhat loses his balance/starts to fall trying to impede Norris. Both players end up going into the boards in a bad position.
I can see how the official called a penalty with the way it looked live, but watching the replay a few times, I personally don't think it is suspension worthy.

I agree. No further action necessary than the original call. I only posted it because someone mentioned Ferris getting a lot of majors recently. I do have issue with the kneeing incident on Nordqvist. I think that was awful and reckless.
