If he's able to keep playing, I wouldn't expect to hear much detail about it. Teams don't generally like to make known the nature and extent of a players injury as long as he is still able to play; they don't want to give their opponents too much info that can be exploited. If he underwent further evaluation after last night's game and a decision is made to sit him until he's healthy enough to play again, then we might hear more about the extent of the injury.Is there any word to the extent of Rick's injury?
BG has a hard time covering the point men, I'm calling a big weekend for Trotman..Lakers 3-1, 2-0
For these reasons I feel LSSU has been put into a position where they must ask for his resignation at seasons end or terminate his contract at seasons end or not renew his contract. He is the primary representative of LSSU when he coaches his team and actions like this one should not be a part of Laker hockey. As I said; I too was at that game and was frustrated at the inept officiating. However, Coach Roque must follow the procedure set forth by the conference to complain about the officiating. Some will say he was just standing up for his team; I understand standing up for your team. I argued when I coached also; but I never went on the field or court after an official and accused them of something. I personally have written the CCHA about their officiating and will continue to. That is the only way fans can put the pressure on the conference to police their officials. There is a line you have to be careful not to cross and Coach Roque did that Saturday night. What recruit is going to show interest in LSSU? What recruit’s parents would encourage him to play for the Lakers? What parent wants to send their son or daughter to a hockey camp sponsored by LSSU with a head coach who acts this way? I would like to think LSSU is a class university and would want a coach which will represent the university in best manner.
And Tom Anastos brought us the shootout also.
The above incident which happened two years ago did not seem to affect Denver's recruiting. They still made it to the tournament last year, and have a good chance of making it again this year.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Jim did after the MSU game. The penalty minutes were 15-2 during that game. There were plenty of calls that could have gone against MSU, but they were not called. Jim had every right to react the way that he did.
Until the CCHA gets rid of Tom Anastos nothing will change with officiating. He completely ruined the league that was a powerhouse of the NCAA. Tom Anastos is the one with the idea to try to enforce icing through the entire game even when a team is shorthanded. He is the same person who decided to have the frozen four indoors, which was an absolute joke.
The CCHA has only won one national title with Anastos as the commissioner in 12 years. That was thanks to Jeff Lerg standing on his head for four games when the Spartans won in 2007. In the 15 years before Anastos took over, the CCHA won 7 national titles.

If I was a recruit, I would love to play for a coach that sticks up for his players the way Roque did after the MSU game. I thought it was great. Sure, a coach has to keep his composure, be a role model, and all that. But, occassionally you have to take a stand. Perhaps it will put a little more scrutiny on the officiating. The fact that he waited until after the game to throw his tirade saved his team any additional penalty minutes. If people are going to call Roque out for being too passive, you can't also call him out for showing fire and passion. All true Laker fans would like to see a better record at this point, but I had no problem with what took place last Saturday night.

Could not agree more, first of all Anastos is a complete moron when it comes to the daily workings of his job, the fact that the majority of the league gave their blessing for Alabama Huntsville to join the league and Anastos still put a stop to it says it all...how can a man who is supposedly committed to doing whats best for college hockey stamp out the opportunity to grow the game in an untapped region, ESPECIALLY after the majority of his league wanted to do it??? Pardon my language but are you ******** serious? what a clown...the discrepancies in the number of titles before and after Anastos really tells the story....secondly, anybody who criticizes Roque for what he did is either misinformed as to the situation or is off of their rocker...the officiating that game (that whole weekend really) was an absolute embarassment to the game of hockey and the CCHA should be ashamed, as far as somebody not wanting to play for a guy who does that, that notion is again entirely stupid...ive had the opportunity to be in the company of over a dozen D1 players from ECAC, CCHA, WCHA and Hockey East at different times over the last 4 years and I can tell you without a doubt that ALL of those players are more apt to gravitate towards a program with a coach who is going to stick up for his guys after getting proverbially sucker punched by officials the way the Lakers were a few weeks ago!!
Great game last night guys! Let's keep it up.
Food for thought; I was just reading about the CCHA’s last actions with Coach Roque http://www.uscho.com/2011/01/28/lssus-roque-in-more-hot-water-with-ccha/. This morning I watched ‘Wingspan’ on Fox Detroit which talked about how hockey players, in particular the Redwings, were a positive role model for kids in the Detroit area. I believe this is true in the Soo and with hockey in general, which is why I am a hockey fan. What sport has a player interviewed during the game? I am not aware of any Charles Barkley’s in hockey.
I was at that game and have attended quite a few of the Laker games this year and for the past several years and think the CCHA’s officiating is terrible and should not be tolerated by a big time hockey conference. The CCHA does owe it to everyone by looking into the allegations; however that does not make Roque's actions in this case acceptable. The Lakers have good reason to complain about the officiating in their games; however one has to wonder if there is a target on their backs because of their coach’s actions? This occurs in every sport; with officials taking a more critical look at different plays.
For these reasons I feel LSSU has been put into a position where they must ask for his resignation at seasons end or terminate his contract at seasons end or not renew his contract. He is the primary representative of LSSU when he coaches his team and actions like this one should not be a part of Laker hockey.

GO LAKERS!
This man is embarrassing the University with his antics and it looks like what goes around is going to come around. You people up there need to quit covering up for your friend. Perky/dopey/bill are all the same person and are along with the cover up for this coach who continues to lose and who continues to use less than professional tactics when things don't go his way. But you people will cover it up or just brush it aside like the former athletic director turned cheerleader and all the blind devotees on here that want to blame others and everything else, when they all know where the blame is.
