WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pietilas.

Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

Poor geezer, he has been so conditioned by Tech being horrible in the last 30 years that he actually think the Huskies played hockey tonight.

Replay of Andrew MacWilliam's hit on Michigan Tech's Johnstone for everyone to scrutinize:

Kudos to cjzeroatbc for uploading it.

@geezer: For talking about whining you sure seem to be doing your own whining. Boo hoo. :rolleyes:

That's an atrocious call.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

no elbow made contact with his head... crap call. at least it didn't cost UND the game.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

Can't imagine what was wrong with that hit.

If that's illegal, then open ice hits just need to be outlawed altogether.

Bad call.

Agreed. The MTU kid is clearly hurt, but that hit was totally legal.

^ Sums it up. But that seems to be the road that is being taken. At least by the WCHA refs. Don't know what it's like in the other conferences.
------------------

With that said though, I do hope the player(Johnstone) will be alright and makes a speedy recovery.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

A little ironic that they make that call then lose control of the game in the third
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

That was a dirty hit.

That being said, what Petan did was disgraceful. He should be done for the series, IMO.

Very chippy/dirty game tonight. I think Tech scoring woke UND up a bit, and UND took over. Fluke goal that even Frazee would've stopped made the game closer than it should have been.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

Next year coaches will be using the MacWilliam check to show their players how to perform an open ice hit :)

Worst thing about this is Greg Shepherd (head of officials) talked about how they had went through all of the 5 minute majors doled out this year by WCHA refs and had explained to the referees that 70% of the hits were good hits.

Ive been saying for the last 2 years players are getting penalized for "checking too hard". Tonight was a perfect example.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

No contact to the head? Yep, those warnings about "pulling the goalie" ARE true!

explain how it was dirty

There wasn't. It was shoulder to shoulder plan as day. Far be it from me to defend UND, but you're wrong.

Far from me to call out Tech's dirty play tonight, but you're wrong.

I honestly was surprised at the 5 call (it IS WCHA refs, after all), but that was a dirty hit.

Willing to bet even the MTU kids agree with me.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

Coaches could use that footage for two things: what happens to you when you carry the puck with your head down, and how to make a clean open ice hit.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

he had his head up but it doesn't much matter when you get run over by a truck.
 
Re: WCHA 1st Round MTU @ UND - Huskies don't care Whioux we play, we have THREE Pieti

I love the homer guy talking on the video... he's going "it's conclusive that it's shoulder to shoulder" at the exact same time he's watching the helmet bounce off the upraised elbow. :) That's the spirit boys.

Seeing phantom elbows, are we?:D Asinine call on a well executed and textbook hockey hit. WCHA refs have been much too whistle happy this year when any player gets nailed around the upper body. Pathetic job...was that Don Adam again?:rolleyes:

Not the ones I was with tonight.

Honestly, MTU was MUCH dirtier than UND tonight. UND had the 2nd most blatant and most "highlight" reel of the top 3 dirty deeds (Petan punches, MTU running the UND goalie).
