Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Women's Hockey 2012-2013

A couple of articles featuring a certain junior forward...

Pioneer Press - Amanda Kessel shakes off rust just in time for NCAA

Star Tribune - Kessel is all about the goals for Gophers' women's hockey

Also posted yesterday in the UM-UND thead...

"So the Gophers can't simply show up and expect to sail into the semifinals. This could be as tough of an opponent for them as any in the field."

Couldn't agree more!

Rosen had Noora, Kelly T and Rachel R as guests on Rosen's Sport Sunday. Good segment. Don't know yet if there's video available.

I went back and looked at the highlight video [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlZXY1R-L0Q&feature=youtu.be ], even frame-by-frame at around the 56-57 second mark, and I honestly couldn't tell if that's the "offending player" entering 'the crime scene', or not. Is that KT jumping in the still, for sure? In the video she appears to jump more directly in front of the goal, whereas in the still she appears to be more on the side. Hard to tell, though, because of the different angles each was taken from...In any case it was a nasty cheapshot that should never have happened.

I can definitively say "yes" to brooky's question.

That is just a ridiculous cheap shot that is unacceptable in any game regardless of the outcome or level of frustration. And after the dirty hit she shoots the kid's stick down the ice. Totally classless. And let's get it out there - it was #4 LaShomb.

On the men's side, that kid would need security to get off the ice after a shot like that, and rightly so. My guess is that LaShomb will want to sit out games against Minnesota next season - at least if she is smart, which it appears that she is not. I have not seen North Dakota play all season, but that one incident validates everything written about them on this forum as a dirty team with no sportsmanship. An embarrrassment to women's hockey.

I don't agree with that. Yes, UND is a rugged team that will fight you tooth and nail, play right on the line between legal and not, and cross it fairly often. But I don't think that they all fall under a "no sportsmanship" umbrella. We scored a lot of goals on North Dakota this year, had a lot of celebrations, and no other UND player ever did anything close to that. LaShomb, on the other hand, shows up in at least 5 celebrations where she is getting physically involved with Minnesota players who are celebrating. E.g., here she hooks Menefee around the neck after Bozek scores the first goal in the WCHA final. I hope she gets some counseling before this inability to handle disappointment spills into other areas of her life.

So my personal view is that the UND team played a great game, and one of their players acted like a thug.

I wonder if Idalski will do ANYTHING that might influence her to change her behavior. If it's allowed to continue or get worse over the next three years she's very likely could seriously injure someone. That hook around Menefee's neck in the clip you posted above was disgusting also.

Not to defend LaShomb, but after having watched it several times and frame by frame, her stick is definitely under Menefee's right arm. If you watch LaShomb's posture her body was past Menefee's and continually moving further past her consequently allowing her almost no leverage if she was yanking on her stick in an attempt to pull Menefee down. In addition, Menefee's very sudden stop to her left in front of the net from a high speed rush, especially the sharp turn of her upper body, looked like it might be enough for her to lose her balance. So, it wouldn't have taken much effort from LaShomb to assist Menefee to the ice of which LaShomb had very little at her disposal.
