Minnesota @ Minnesota-Duluth 10/15/11

No, I don't.

He ran him. I agree that he didn't bodycheck him, but by definition he ran him.

Correct. Plus the bodychecking a goalie situation is so rare, there's really no point qualifying "running a goalie" with that stipulation. Players bump goalies and knock them down without trying to avoid them far more often, so that is the definition that makes the most sense.

Yeah, and that's fine. But in that situation it is his responsibility to "avoid" the goalie. Since he was negligent in his job he belongs in the box for running the goaltender.

It should have been a penalty, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that he wasn't trying to make it a dirty play/didn't have malicious intent/whatever.

I disagree again. If you purposely don't avoid hitting the goalie then you have intent. You're really splitting hairs here that don't exist.

You don't have to have malicious intent to run a goalie. All you have to do is skate toward him at full speed and make no effort to avoid him.

Scooby, brent is an expert at splitting hairs that don't exist. The dude's balding, after all. :p

JFC. READ. I am saying that he had no malicious intent. He wasn't trying to kill Patty. He just didn't try and avoid him.

How do you know? He went full speed into a goaltender. Any number of things could have happened. You're testifying to what another human being was thinking. That's impossible to know.

You read. We're saying he doesn't NEED intent to be running the goalie. All he needs to do is what he did: skate full speed and make no effort to avoid contact.

That's ok. He didn't mean to run the goalie. It's all good.

One thing is certain - this is defiantly not the same team as the past 3 years

We've all been expecting the gophs to put it together in recent years. Looks like this might be the year--especially if they're showing a little fire in the belly.
