It was difficult to tell what was or was not happening as they got together from the TV angle. During live action, it certainly looked like an eyebrow raising play, given the Gopher player churning his legs and barely moving, then going down.
 
Re: North Dakota @ Minnesota 11/5/16

Third period underway.

Question for Gopher fans, I thought Minnesota had been playing varsity hockey since like the late 1890's? Graphics department just said first season was 1921-1922.

Of course, they also had North Dakota's first season as 1929-1930, when it was 1946-1947...so maybe they just have no clue? Maybe it's the same guy who does the SOG? :p:D:D

It was an extremely weak call. That being said, I thought the officiating overall tonight has been adequate...although that was a pretty awful call.

Call it even for the missed too many men on the delayed penalty.

Rule 75 - Premature Substitution 75.1 Premature Substitution - When a goalkeeper leaves the goal area and proceeds to the players’ bench for the purpose of substituting another player, an on-ice official shall be responsible for seeing that the substitution is not illegal because of the premature departure of the substitute from the bench (before the goalkeeper is at the players’ bench and out of the play). If the substitution is made prematurely, an on-ice official shall stop the play immediately by blowing the whistle unless the nonoffending team has possession of the puck, in which event the stoppage shall be delayed until the puck changes hands. A time penalty shall not be assessed against the team making the premature substitution. FACEOFF—Center faceoff spot. When play is stopped with the puck in the offending team’s defensive zone, the faceoff shall be at the nearest end zone faceoff spot. When play is stopped with the puck in the neutral zone on the offending team’s side of the red line, the faceoff shall take place at the nearest neutral zone faceoff spot.

So...no. It's not my fault the Gopher announcers don't know the rules. ;)

I stand corrected. Was not aware of that rule.

Although, I maintain that the call you were referring to wasnt as obviously weak as you are suggesting.

No worries. North Dakota demonstrated last night they weren't very aware of the rules as far as too many men are concerned.

12:20 left in the 3rd

2-0 Gophers

Pretty blah period thus far...not much exciting going on.
 
Re: North Dakota @ Minnesota 11/5/16

Icing on North Dakota

11:09 left in the 3rd

2-0 Minnesota

This game smells like 4-0 Gophers...North Dakota will have to start pushing here soon and the Gophers will punish them on the counter...and then maybe an empty netter.
 
Re: North Dakota @ Minnesota 11/5/16

Penalty on Minnesota, and North Dakota will have a powerplay.

If the Hawks want to get back in this one, they probably have to score here.

7:10 left in the 3rd

2-0 Gophers
 
Re: North Dakota @ Minnesota 11/5/16

Gophers kill the penalty.

North Dakota with plenty of possession, but still nothing to show for it.

Under 5 to play in this one. 2-0 Minnesota.
 
Re: North Dakota @ Minnesota 11/5/16

Wow...Gophers with a 2x1 and get called for offside. Very close call there.

4:15 left in the game

2-0 Minnesota.

Icing on the Gophers

3:36 left in the game.

2-0 Minnesota

First "Gopher, Rejects" cheer I've heard...pretty mean to say that about the home team that is winning by two goals. :p:D:D
 
Re: North Dakota @ Minnesota 11/5/16

Gotta give the Gophers a lot of credit tonight. North Dakota has outplayed them, but they have fought for every puck and blocked a bunch of great chances.

North Dakota hits another post BTW, that is 4 by my count tonight.
