Any of you Tech folks making the trip up? If so, leave our Charles Bunnell statue alone!

I posted a few thoughts on the series over at the Alaska season thread if any of you care to read. Cliff notes version, if the Nanooks are to win this weekend we need to beat you 5 on 5 and stay out of the box.

I know, that's some real in-depth analysis.

Hahahaha. I'm still amazed it fit so well! Unfortunately we are hosting thanksgiving dinner so there was no chance this year for the trip. I'll be waking up the inlaws yelling at the PC after they go to bed

We'll take the W. I thought it was interesting Wintjes was the backup.

Mel's postgame with Dirk:
Knew refs would even things out a little bit
5 things we have to do in 3rd with lead, stay on the ice is one, understand situation
Bad penalty by Cliff, lose him too, need him on ice
Took a couple bad penalties, we wont be able to take penalties like that in the future and get away with hit
Petan had good looks, more than last 5/6 games combined
Limited them to 14 shots, numerous scoring opps, didn't put them out of the game though
PP wasn't very good, have to get better at that
Like our start/ready to play, but have to continue to get better in some areas, game situations

How do you get 5 for interference?

It's a new rule this year/being made with greater emphasis. So to answer your questions I don't know.

I was wondering the exact same thing. 5 and a game, no less.

When I've seen it called before — twice, I believe — it was not only for the fact that it was interference but for the overall violence of the hit.

I'm pretty sure this is how the rule book lays it out:
Player obstructs the other player = 2 Min minor
Player really obstructs the other player = 4 Min double minor
Player really obstructs the other player in a way that looks very bad and he falls in a heap = 5 Min major
Player really obstructs the other player in a way that looks super bad, he falls in a heap, you've gotten the last five penalty calls and the refs want to even things up for their earlier questionable major + game misconduct = 5 Min major plus game misconduct
Seriously, how did they come up with that penalty at the rules committee?
We have interference, but we need something to call when he really, really gets in the other player's way.
How about EPIC interference?
No, that's too hip and trendy. We need something that fans can understand.
Ok, how about "major interference"?

I agree that Tech needs to cut down on the dumb penalties, however you will never be able to stop the ref from making dumb calls just to "even things up". One of my pet peeves is seeing a 5-min major called and 30 seconds later the team on the power play gets whistled for some ticky-tack call. Something that didn't get whistled the other 59 minutes of the game.
I also dislike when the refs just flip a switch and suddenly one team can do no right and the other can do no wrong. Penalties called by the back ref when the one standing 10 feet looking right at the plays calls nothing.
UAF takes five penalties for 21 minutes in the first half of the game and then suddenly in the second half of the game they can do no wrong and what a shocker, Tech magically ends up with the exact same number of penalties and minutes in the second half of the game... Give me a break. Why not umpire baseball and just decide not to call any strikes after the top of the 5th inning.
