Yay! One big happy family!

Nah, we have to wish Marvin was burned at the stake first.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

If we were looking to take out one of your players, we'd have used someone who sucks or never plays. Like Mitch Ryan or Jon Ammerman. Why have our best defensive forward go out and injure people?

Possibly because none of the rest of your players go out of their way to injure people. No one is saying the coaches requested it; they are saying that Marvin seems to have an individual propensity to injure (deliberately or "accidentally") critical players on opposing teams. In his mind, I am sure it is accidental, but one is an accident and two is a trend.

Goon. Book 'em, Dano.

I would pay to see that.

Well if he'd tried to do it, I wish there had been more of an impact in tonight's game. We lost 7-4 even after sending your best player to the hospital.

That might be the best third post on this site, possibly ever.

Hey Chuck. Word to the wise. Take a deep breathe and let them irrationally defend their goon. In the mean time your blood pressure will go down.

this coming from the guy predicting a sweep. A guy whose own fan base hates him. That's rich. As for marvin's hit, I agree that if he's told to sit for a game, he should, but more than that...meh. It's mere coincidence. I assure you. Terrible timing though.....

Contact to the Head:


SECTION 8. A player shall not make contact with an opposing player’s head or neck area in any manner.

PENALTY—Minor or major or disqualification at the discretion of the referee. Contact to the head shall be assessed in front of the infraction (i.e., contact to the head – elbow).


Note: The rules committee instructs officials to use a zero tolerance policy in this area.

You're just a whiny *****..

You're just a whiny *****..

While your statement is most likely true, It certainly doesn't mean I'm wrong. And judging by your witty statement, you most likely agree.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

1. Yes I did. Marvin hit him with a strong shoulder to the head. Is it Aaron's fault that Geoffrion was looking down? Nope. What's Aaron supposed to do? Quick jump out of the way? If Geoffrion had been forward two inches it would have been shoulder to shoulder. Sorry. Not a dirty hit in my opinion.

What's Aaron supposed to do...? Hold up. Just like when someone has their back to you. By your logic, there would never be a checking from behind penalty.

Yes, you are taught to keep your head up when skating, but you are also taught as a defender to keep your body under control and to not do things like aim for the head. I'm coaching first year peewees and we are constantly reminding them to NOT extend their elbows or shoulders to the opponent's head.

So I'm thinking that your dipwad player has heard it somewhere before.

Only a homer would see that as a good play.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

For what its worth, I was very open about calling Marvin's hit on Chay dirty, cheap, etc.

But I watched the youtube clip from last night and I just don't see how this is consdidered a dirty hit. It is hockey right? Checking is still allowed no??

Yes, there is contact to the head so if you want to call a penalty fine, but it wasn't dirty.

That same type of hit takes place (or nearly takes place) 10-15 times every single game, every single weekend.

Congrats to bucky on a good game last night.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

It didn't look like a 'dirty' hit, but it was to the head.
As for the fight at the end, Smith and Roe both went for the puck near the boards. Roe got the puck first and Smith gave a check. The check was high and should have been called, just like the hit on Geoffrion.
Roe hit Smith with a high stick to the chin in retaliation as Smith was skating away to get back into the play.
When the linesman had Roe down, Smith did not throw a punch. He was trying to reach in, but only got linesman's shirt.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

From someone who was at the game: "Lee gave up 4 soft goals, with Dunn in net it would have been another Husky victory."

With back to back ****** poor games, I hope Lee doesn't see the ice the rest of the season.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

This is encouraging...

Geoffrion, whose assist on the opening goal gave him 100 points for his career, wasn’t able to return, and Eaves said the injury wouldn’t keep him out ‘very long.’ Instead of dragging, the Badgers became energized by the fact, a point that was driven home by the Street-to-Stepan tally less than two minutes later.

“When Blake went down, as a group of 20 guys, we have to step up and fill his shoes,” Stepan said. “It’s a tough role that he takes on, so we had to have guys take a bigger role and we all had to chip in to get the job done tonight.”

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

Well the guy saying that 75% of all rapes are made up by the woman and that 90% of the women who actually are raped are "asking for it" kind of takes the cake over my opinion on Aaron Marvin.

I like how you compare me to Aaron Marvin, and you skew what I said and take it out of context. Nice job DL. Nice job.

Roy speaks with wisdom and truth. If it weren't for Lee, we'd be natiional champions already. Well, maybe not, but I bet we'd have the Mcnaughton locked up.

I have a feeling you're a pathological liar. Am I on the right track? You don't have to answer that, it would probably be a lie.

The NCAA is focusing on hits to the head and it was clearly a hit to the head. Pretty cut and dried. That is the thrid time that I have seen Marvin go for another players head. Chay, last weekend against Brett Hextall and not this, the league should suspend him. There is a pattern developing here.

 

[Scottyp]

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

So give him a five, and if the league wants, a game, that's fair IMO.
My argument here is the total classification of Marvin as a dirty "goon" player when in the case of both hits, I don't see intent to injure is going too far.

The problem with giving him a game suspension is the message it sends. Geoffrion could have gone pro at the end of last year, but opted to come back for his senior season. Genoway, I think decided not to go pro as well. Giving him one game, whether you think the hit was designed to injure or not, sends the message that the league will not protect its star players from goons. If we don't want kids going pro after one or two years for fear of injury (at least in the NHL they could be making some money for taking these hits) the league has to assume it was delivered with intent. 2 or 4 games with a message that if it comes close to happening again, he's out of the league would definitely get people's attention.

One guy, two potentially career ending hits on two of the leagues best players has to be dealt with. And lets not forget his hit on Genoway was one of, if not the, dirtiest cheapest shots we've seen. He's made his bed, let him sleep in it.

Now your starting to sound like vw.

Re: SCSU and UW: Badger hunting

Maybe Geoffrion should keep his head up when he skates? Aren't you taught that when you're 10 years old?

In open ice when you aren't trying to catch a pass in your skates, yes. You'll never catch a pass if your head is always up though.
