    If so, that's ridiculous.
    Not just because of that hit. It was his 3rd Game Misconduct of the year, so there's an automatic 1 game suspension. One was the "spearing" call against Lethbridge (also complete BS) and the second was the Charging/Facemasking/Game MC combo he got against UMD back in November.

      Yeah you would be in the minority, the Marshall hit wasn't a 5 and barely a penalty. Shoulder to shoulder hit's are still legal in Hockey.

      We can't help it if the guy threw his stick 40 feet and turtled acting like his spleen was just knocked out, holy acting on that one. Pretty obvious.

      Marshall better not be suspended for that legal hit.

I am sure that Marshall regrets the decision to go for the devastating hit now. He didn't have to play it that way, although I understand why you might do what Marshall did in the heat of the moment.
        The answer to this is that the Major/MC part should be reviewable by the refs, like the ejections are in College Football. They could have checked the video, saw right away that there was no contact to the head and given Marshall 2 minutes for Roughing (wasn't even interference, since the puck had JUST hit Marshall before the hit).

          Talked to tDon at the radio show last night, he's out on Friday. Automatic 1 game suspension, even though 2 of the 3 calls were total BS

            Agree with this. I think they should be calling a few more 5 mn penalties and then just review all of them and overturn the one's that don't qualify.
            Go Gophers!

              Maybe they could review for really bad acting and hand out suspensions for that too.

                  Late to this one but I could not agree more. I'd say that he has been their best player since the break.

                  He was the best player for the Gophers in tClassic, had a great weekend against PSU, and now the NSCC was a great weekend for him as well. FTR, I'd say the same thing about him even if he wasn't scoring goals. He just has that jump and hustle that I'm not seeing out of everyone on this team, it literally looked like he was the only one that cared against Colgate in tClassic(obviously that's not true, but that was a frustrating game).

                  USCHO gives me another reason to not do work while I am at work.

                  Everything is Hill's fault.....

                    In light of Marshall's suspension being at least partially the result of the thuggery that happened in that exhibition game against Lethbridge, I'm hoping that Lucia and staff think twice about scheduling those Yahoos again. What a joke it is that we're going to be suiting up 5 defensemen for a conference game because of something that happened in an exhibition.

                        Great point - there is no benefit in playing Lethbridge whatsoever. For their exhibition they would be much better off scheduling the Ann Arbor U18 team.

                          Great idea.

                            Partially agreed. That shouldn't even have been 5. Give him 2 for roughing and I wouldn't complain. The important part is to get the Majors and game MCs called right.

                              Definitely. Better competition, skill-wise and no thuggery.

                                SCSU beat the U18 team 8-0 and it got chippy at the end, so there are no guarantees.
