Scores Weekend of 10/7

Re: Scores Weekend of 10/7

Bemidji State has a 1-0 lead over Minnesota with 9 minutes remaining in the 2nd period.
 
Re: Scores Weekend of 10/7

Interesting day so far in the WCHA...

Wisconsin ties OSU (wins shooutout)
Minnesota loses to BSU and UND loses to SCSU.
 
Re: Scores Weekend of 10/7

Gopher fans know what you mean. Bemidji wins 2-0 in a game the Gophers dominated after the first period.

They got a huge assist from the refs. I am sure the stripers assure themselves they called it evenhandedly but the problem is that when one team needs to slow and obstruct and the other team wants play making & flow, not calling interference, holding & hooking heavily favors one team over the other so it is not even handed at all.
 
Re: Scores Weekend of 10/7

Looks like a few teams need to sort out their goal tending issues: RIT, Union and Colgate. Terrific debut by Penn State goalie Daniela Paniccia.

I can assure you that Colgate doesn't have a goal tending issue. Vandyk was ECAC goalie of the week last week and notched a shutout this past Sunday. Coaching staff gave the freshman Auby a chance to play on Saturday. The first goal was a defensive breakdown in front of her that was not her fault. Vandyk will carry the load all season and it won't be an issue.

Ok, the games played this past weekend were actually Friday and Saturday respectively.....

Not sure I agree with you Net7. Although the refs definitely let them play, I think it went both ways. Neither team could score on the power play so likely wouldn't have matter anyways. Bottom line is Mowat was outstanding and simply was not going to let the Gophers score. All the credit goes to her IMO. Could have easily been a 5-1 game. On another note, if you want to complain about the "lack of calls", go watch some east coast games. They call everything! 15 and 19 penalties in two games last week. Horrible to watch, zero flow! Give me WCHA refs any day of the week.

I have seen plenty of poor refs but nothing that appeared so one-sided. I never saw a Gopher wrap a Beaver up with both arms as she went to the net for a tip in. Yeah, it makes a difference.

I think we should agree to disagree. I saw potential calls let go for both teams. IMO the refs let them play. Probably went to the advantage of the Beavers as they play a more physical, grinding style. The Gophers are used to running all over the rink and not get touched. I think this frustrated them. Also, it was smart for the Beavers. No chance they can win if they get into an up and down track meet with the Gophers.

No, they are used to getting a grinding particluarly from BSU. That had been how they have played,and even won, the past few years. What was different this time was the blatant holding and interference that was left uncalled. There was nothing comperable from Minny.

I am not a fan of the style but as long as it stays clean I can live with it. This weekend was not a good example and the refs fell down on the job.

Get over it, I was also at both games, there was no blatant holding/interference that wasn't called. I thought for the most part the refs did a decent job. as in any game at home you have a little advantage. i'm sure BSU parents will be complaining after the series in the cities. Are you saying when i think it was #2 that destroyed a BSU player in front of the net in the 3rd, that should not have been called?. Just take the loss and move on, i'm sure U of M won't have that many more L's. Maybe Frosty just got out coached with line match-up's advantage goes to home team. I did notice a few times the refs sent girls back that where trying to get on the ice. I will give Frosty credit on Friday night, the score should have been 4-1, Gophs had a PP to end the game, last 2 mins. no doubt they could have scored, the y just played keep away and cycled players out for the whole 2 mins. BSU was gassed now if he knew they would lose the next night. he would have kept the pedal down.
