Hanson brothers' hockey?

0n 10/29 thirteen of the fifteen top-ranked DI teams played. Four penalties were called in the Denver - North Dakota game, the only one of these games in the single digits penalty wise. In the remaining eleven games featuring top-ranked teams the fans were treated to an average of fifteen penalty calls per game.
Is this number of penalties per game pretty much in keeping with recent years' records or might there be a trend emerging in style of play and/or officiating?

New emphasis on protecting against head injuries...so you cant lead checks with ur elbows up. Also, recent emphasis placed on calling interference. Overall, the refs are supposed to be making these calls. Once the players get used to what they can get away with and what they cant, penalty minutes should drop. Goon hawkey is on the way out...the sooner teams realized its a skill and speed game now, the better off they will be. Clutch and grab hawkey and intent to injure is going to be called.

Doesn't this happen every season, the officials call it tight for awhile and then by the playoffs they don't call as tight.? The answer to my question is yes:D happens every year

Do your own research, moron.

It's obvious more teams need to adopt the style of gentlemanly play that UND exhibits.
