Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC
Yeah, LSSU...
I remember where I was watching that and with whom (thankfully, I wasn't there). I was livid and absolutely stunned that referees could insert themselves in such a prominent and to be honest, unprecedented way, when you consider it was a championship game. I had grown up with the notion that refs swallow the whistle starting about halfway through the 3rd and they certainly didn't call penalties late in the last game of the year. It was an unwritten rule back then in hockey.
I wanted to find that guy. In fact, I'm starting to wonder why I never did. What was his name?
Not proud of how the players reacted, but can understand it coz if I was that ****ed, imagine those who had worked their whole lives to get to that point and who had just spent 7 months battling to get there.
Sauer should have had better control, but he ran a loose ship.
All that said though, still not Lake State's fault and seriously doubt if many current students or players know about this or care.
