U-M / MSU - The R-rated series

Re: U-M / MSU - The R-rated series

Like I said... something is obstructing your vision. Likens was officiating at the game 160 miles to the SW.

If Tocco sees a penalty, his arm is supposed to go up. The play wasn't dead until 2 seconds after the hit.

Even the announcers were in the dark as to what was going on until the call was made 2 minutes later. They thought the officials were discussing a crease violation.

As far as my alma mater goes, I most certainly hold a degree from MSU.

Yep, i believe you have a degree from MSU. Your lack of intelligence is evidence you hold a degree from Misdemeanor State University. Guess what buddy the replays showed the hitting from behind penalty was 100% correct. Now shouldn't you focus your energies on activities you are strong at, like couch burning, keg stands, and walking through tear gas?

So do we now agree that this crew wasn't competent, or was Shegos really shielded from the net when he blew the third goal off on friday? Sounds to me that you fans are crafting arguments to suit your argument. To say that this call was competent, (although technically within his ruling jurisdiction) but the other wasn't is contradictory and asinine.

I did not say that this crew was competent. In fact, I suggested otherwise citing this call as evidence. All I had said regarding your waved off goal was that it was a matter of vision, not of competence. Shegos lost sight of the puck. He is supposed to blow the whistle. Late in a game where tempers have been up and the goalie is likely to be given the business, the whistles get quicker. You benefited from the same quick whistle late in last night's game as well and it was nowhere near as out of control.

BTW- the officials have the ability to make/change calls up until play begins again. Review is discretionary. There is no rule that states otherwise. Just like the loophole rule about blowing the play dead, even if he doesn't use the whistle right away. The same principle applies.

Like I said earlier, if someone has an explanation for that that might help me better understand the game, by all means do share. I want to know why a call as crystal clear as some have suggested it was was not made during or immediately after the play. It was after two minutes of discussion. If there was some measure of contention, e.g. did Summers touch the puck, that affected the call I would understand. AFAIK, hitting from behind isn't on of those sorts of calls.

Now, can we move on to our next opponent?

Feel free. That's in some other thread. Right? This is the MSU/UM unpleasantness thread.

But my hat's off to you streaker. At least you've managed to stick to discussing hockey.

No we'd like to continue to drag you through the rhetorical mire for another week or so (our level).

But yeah, unfortunately the series is over and we may not get to see you until next fall and your next new crop of one/two-year wonders.

North to Alaska - the (CCHA 2nd spot) race is on.
Don't trip over Bowling Green, y'hear?

What more evidence do you need? Replay clearly Rowe cross checked Summers from behind, Tocco saw it, but by the time he could blow his whistle the puck was knocked in. Tocco alerted Shegos the play was dead when Rowe touched the puck, hence the waived off goal and 2 min in the box for Rowe. It is not like there is a Zapruder video. My hat is off to you gomer. You managed to be the outlier for most intelligent MSU alums I know...

Not so fast my friend! {LeeCorso} If Michigan finishes 6 or 7 in the CCHA there is a good chance we will see them at Munn in March. Oh how exciting that would be!

Fair enough. But he was grossly out of position, which was my point, unlike last night where Wilkins was to the side of the goal, thus clearly able to see the play. To me, that is a competency issue.

I contend (no matter what your MSU brethren state about my "true" intent) that Michigan was only in the game at that point because of Spartan stupidity that they took advantage of. To tie the game would have been monumental, but not impossible, considering what happened last night. To have that decided like that... was bitter to swallow.

As for Owslachief's adieu to BG- I can only hope. Don't wake up with frozen shorts in Fairbanks, either. Destiny as they say, is still in both team's hands.
