  • Re: BTHC Tourney '17: The Stands May Be Empty, But The Games Still Matter

    Ok, that's one overtime, how many can we go? This game has been played at a high pace pretty much the whole way, but it seemed that both sides were tiring there toward the end of that period.

    Excellent. I'm just rooting for the goalies now.


    Also it's too bad there is nobody there to watch tonight in person.

      Even though Minnesota's in their first game they looked tired and slow during the OT. At this point it's simply going to be decided by who makes the worst mistake.

        Wisconsin is pretty much guaranteed to win tomorrow. PSU will be playing on spaghetti legs.

          That's the kind of goal you only score against a very tired defense.

            That was entertaining. Interesting that the B1G logo was painted on the ice over the Red Wings logo. At the Garden, the Bruins logo was still there and they put the Hockey East logo by the blue lines.

                    I'm going to the Wings game before the B1G championship game. Bet the Wings emblem will be back on the ice for that game.

                        This league can't do anything right.
                        In the CCHA, UM was a driver of revenue, attendance & prestige. In the the Big Teen, you're a 6 games under .500 nothing special team. Maybe they gave band seats priority by place in standings. You were 5th.

                          The band was in the usual spot in 2015 as the 3 seed against the 2 and 1. The B1G people just don't care and half *** it because hockey is some sideshow circus to them that brings in a small percentage of TV dollars. Unlike the CCHA in every way.

                            Did where the band sat make any difference in the play on the ice. If it did, your team has serious problems.

                              Maybe the refs were tired too and just wanted to get it over with?

                                That wasn't a terrible call imho - although yes a few blatant penalties got missed earlier against both squads. One can argue that once the whistles are "swallowed" keep them there, but remember how badly Maine fans hated the OT penalty in 2002 (not trying to claim 100% apples to apples here but...) yet that was as blatant a penalty as you're ever going to see. I hate it going against my squad but then kill the penalty get back to 5x5 if you don't want to give up a goal.

                                Someone on GPL mentioned the PP were lopsided (6-2 in favor of PSU) and my response is that the Gophers were out-hustled for most of the game and that's often a recipe for getting whistled more than your opponent. Maddening considering PSU played the day before while the Gophers were resting.

                                The Gophers allowed themselves to get beat and Ramsey half-assing his way back into a defensive position on the OT goal is aggravating as hell.

                                Ok - you're in the tournament apparently with still a very slim chance at a #1 if both WMU and (??) lose today. Regardless get yourselves together and be ready for the real deal coming up.
