NCAA Hockey - 2023/24 **Insert Witty Tagline**

Soo im thinking the Ohio state player who speared a gopher on the bench in front of the ref might be getting an additional suspension?

If he got an actual spearing penalty that usually carries with it a game disqualification. If so, he'll miss OSUs next game at least. Frankly that's a penalty that should NOT have an option in the supplemental misconduct or disqualification, it should always be a DQ.

Ohio State was a little short-handed Friday since two players, Scooter Brickley and Riley Hughes were DQ'd for Friday's game due to fighting majors in the previous weekend's game against Notre Dame.

He did get a dq so I believe he’s out at least one game. I was shocked when I heard it announced as I can’t remember the last time I heard a spearing penalty called

the video shows how bad it was. He skates up to bench and spears snuggerud right in front of linesman who promptly bodyslams him.

it was premeditated and unhinged which is why I wonder if he gets more games. Even rohlik looked speechless
 
If Rohlik isn’t complaining it is bad. The linesman putting him down fast and hard likely kept things from going any further, so thanks to him for that! We don’t need anyone sitting against Michigan State.

He stayed in the box I thought so unless that was a bench skater he only got a misconduct.
 
I can't believe the USHL or rather the organizations that get fed by players from the USHL allow fighting. Unreal.
 
Roger. I didn't even know what happened until after they had announced it. We can barely hear the PA announcements where we sit.
 
It's too bad the main forum isn't like it used to be, because with BU, BC, Maine and UHN in the Top 10 so far this year I imagine it would make for some lively conversations a la 15-20 years ago.

Peeking into the Providence thread after their loss to UAA was… interesting.

UAA continues to confound. They can pick up wins against Penn State, Wisconsin, and Providence but can’t come close to beating UAF. So frustrating.

The game week threads used to be excellent. Smack talk, real hockey talk, humor, and some pretty good artwork.

Where are Happy and Dirty?

Game week threads and Game threads in the Scores Updates forum were the highlight of this site back in the day. Good times. This week, with my BU #1 playing the #2 guys up the street - I can't spend too much time there because the anxiety - yeesh. I can only imagine what those threads would be like if this site was like it was years ago.
 
In recent weeks the debate/discussion over moving NCAA playoff games away from the regional format and back to campus rinks of the lower seed has sort of re-ignited. Brad Schlossman of the Grand Forks Herald wrote a piece advocating for campus sites and Adam Wodon of College Hockey News responded with his argument in favor of the regionals. I think these two have squared off over this issue for years, so that isn't really news.

However, there seems to be at least a small amount of momentum in favor of going back to campus, so there continues to be a lot of podcast debate about the subject. I only bring this up because last night I listened to Adam Wodon's podcast for CHN in which he interviewed both the Sacred Heart coach and David Carle of Denver.

I think Wodon may have been a bit surprised by the Sacred Heart coach expressing a strong desire to go back to campus. But the interesting interview was Carle.

Wodon knew Carle was strongly in favor of campus sites, so Wodon was ready to debate him on it. He knows Carle as someone who is very professional and is not going to get mean or nasty about it.

I'm no Carle fan, even though I acknowledge he is a terrific coach. He just oozes too much DU arrogance for my taste. But he absolutely eviscerated Wodon last night. It was sort of surprising because Wodon has been debating coaches and media types on this issue for years, so he is not a novice on the subject. It was something to behold.

I know the gopher podcast guys are going to have Wodon on to debate the topic in a few weeks, and maybe even have Schlossman on with them. I'm pretty sure the GPL folks are pro-campus sites. I hope Schlossman and the GPL guys catch Carle's interview beforehand, because it was a masterclass.
