Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

Re: Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

Oh, Wally and Glen. I wonder if we'll hear a "TAKE THAT YOU STINKIN' BADGERS!!" tonight.

On the 1 hand, if I listen, I hope to not hear that at all. On the other hand, if I hear it, it will **** me off.

I have a hard time getting 540 in as well. Maybe I'll pony up the $ for the paid UW audio stream, though I've made it this long without, I'd hate to have to spend the cash now.

I'm really in a quandry. The biggest rivalry in college hockey and we have to scramble for audio/video of it. What is this, like 1978?

Alright... everyone neg the piglet with "You've just been shoved off the TUC cliff". Lets see how long it takes to go red.


On a separate note, Flying Dog Brewery's double IPA is mind-blowing. (Ran out of paint thinner around 7:15 tonight )

The flaw in your logic is you think I actually care if I'm "red".... that just means I am doing my job and putting all you drunkin Sconi's in your place with all the great facts I've been providing all week! You guys know I put you in your place, and out of frustration tag me. You aren't clever enough to respond by writting something remotely coherent, it's just easier to give me a neg rep.

Wow, what an ego. I fail to see how you put anyone, "in their place". You're making a lot of noise but you arent really saying anything.
Its just typical Gopher fan nonsense.

MN posters; since trash talking isn't going to work this year (and I'm not good at it anyway) what's wrong with the boys? While I enjoy seeing UM struggle, inquiring minds want to know your opinions.

It's the coaching moreso than anything. For whatever reason, players don't appear to be responding to Lucia anymore. While it'd be easy to say the players are terrible, the simple fact of the matter is that if NHL teams thought it was wise to use picks on these guys when they were ~18 years old, they must have *some* talent, and if they have talent, then a capable coach should be getting more out of them than the results we've seen the past three seasons.

I feel sorry for Kangas showing up to backstop such a horrible team. He really got the short end on the timing by coming to MN right as the team's offense fell off a cliff. Had he shown up for the '04-'07 timeframe instead, he'd probably win ~100 games in his career and made a couple frozen fours as opposed to repeatedly missing the tournament completely and being a .500 goalie. Crimony, he might have been able to take the '04 and '07 teams to a title given the fact he's a better goalie than Briggs/long island Jeff.

Re: Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

I just watch a replay of the goal that was disallow in the 2nd, wow. that should have been a goal. the man was in the crease. but never interference with the goalie.

Minnesota player in the crease. Didn't make contact with the goalie but was directly in line with the shot and screened the goalie.

I know that and did not see how he was in line with the shot. oh well. not gonna agure anymore. we loss fair and square.

Re: Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

And a lot more people would be stupid for being so. The Gophers didn't get bumped because the sychornized skating thing was confirmed prior to Gophers' schedule being set. People need to stop manufacturing excuses for their umbrage.



Rodensota? Gofer? How quaint.

Thanks!

I hate the Gophers, but seeing that replay just now I agree, that should have been a goal. Not complaining though.

It will feel weird to watch them on Sunday. Go Badgers!

Isn't the rule applied where an O player is in the crease prior to the puck it is disallowed?

Was the rodent player in the crease prior to the puck? I listened on a web feed tonight

You maybe right on that one. not sure though.

I just saw it as well, I believe the rule was applied correctly, no matter how questionable the rule is in the first place.

Right call. Only in the NHL can you be there ahead of time as long as you don't interfere. In college, you cannot be there at all.

I hated that rule when it was in the NHL and they were disallowing goals left and right, but it's the rule in college right now and was applied correctly tonight.

Re: Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

The playoff picture is becoming clearer - CC locked in the 6th seed by beating DU tonight, and MN is locked in at 7th.

3rd-5th is a giant cluster****. SCSU needs to tie or win to secure 3rd place. If they lose, they could drop down to 5th.

Re: Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

I'm sympathetic to the annoyance of gopher fans. Crease violations are one of those rules where there isn't a consistent stance from one level of play to another. If the rule truly is what the BTN announcers were saying (that it's a violation even without goalie interference), then the call was the right one.

But I certainly understand that the rule is different in the NHL, which makes it seem like the college version makes no sense and what have you.

Even still, the gophers had plenty of other chances that they just didn't convert on. It's not too different from what I thought about the Packers losing in the playoffs on a play which many thought should have had a penalty:

Well it is one of those unfortunate situations where there are two things that are absolutely true:

1) We got absolutely hosed on the call, but

2) No singular call should make that big of a difference. If the Pack took care of things on defense the call becomes a non-issue.

Right call. Only in the NHL can you be there ahead of time as long as you don't interfere. In college, you cannot be there at all.

That's not quite correct. In college, you can be in the crease except as below:

6-18-c-7-ii: A goal shall not be allowed in any of the following cases: If any member of the attacking team (other than the player in possession of the puck) was in or skating through the goal crease when the goal was scored from outside the crease, unless: An attacking player was in the crease but, in the opinion of the official, did not prevent the goalkeeper from defending the goal.

6-29-c: A player of the attacking team may stand on the goal crease line or in the goal crease, or skate through the goal crease, unless, in the opinion of the official, the player is physically or visually preventing the goalkeeper from defending the goal. A player of the attacking team may stand or stay in the crease when the puck is in the crease or when the player has possession of the puck.

Just basing this on the fact that the review took so long, could it be that the whole foot has to be in the crease? Seemed pretty cut and dry that his foot was in the crease before the shot, but the refs took forever to review the goal. Unless they were having technical difficulties, it's the only reason why I would think it would take so long.

Anyway I thought the Badgers looked really off tonight. I thought the Gophers outplayed them 5x5 in the 2nd and 3rd. It reminded me of the Saturday game in Madison where the Badgers controlled play, but the Gophers still pulled out the W.

I also thought it was odd the Gophers were trapping down 2-1, but it seemed to really pay off. They picked off a ton of passes in the neutral zone leading to a lot of rushes. Hopefully the Badger defense makes some adjustments before Sunday.

Now the big question:
Which of your three bitter rivals would you rather play at:
UND, SCSU, or UMD?
UND seems to be playing better and peaking while the others are faltering.

Fortunately for you, they are all within driving distance.

I have to believe this is why the goal was disallowed.

Re: Gophers-Badgers: Not Good Enough for Mariucci

Should of played both of them there . . .more money to be made. In fact when I first saw that there were playing at Target Center vs. Wisconsin I did not know it was because of scheduling conflict and thought they were doing it because Target Center holds more people. Then they could of played Saturday as well.

Umm, and where would the Timberwolves play then?
