Re: Official 2013-2014 Minnesota State University, Mankato Mavericks Season Thread
Lack of on ice leadership????? How can you say that when you did not see the games??
If the team was running around crazy getting stupid penalties like they did prior to Coach Hastings, I would totally agree. There were not too many selfish or stupid penalties on Saturday. MSU got come calls early, but could not get the puck by Gilles. The 2nd & 3rd were a different story. While Blueger did get a misc. after one of the goals, most of the others were not that bad. JP was a hit from behind, however the PC player did turn at the last minute, you could see JP felt bad right after checking to see if he was OK. They have to make that call. Gervais on the other hand looked like a collision that you see many times during a game & he got the boot. Looking at the box score, you would have thought that it was a real chippy game, it was not. I bet if that was the playoffs, that at least half of the penalties would not have been called.
There was a high stick that when announced it was "UN-INTENTIONAL HIGHSTICK TO THE HEAD". Maybe that is a new rule, but I have never heard that call before at any level of hockey.
As Coach said after the game it WAS ridiculous the way the game was called, there were 2 really good teams that got caught up in a game that the refs wanted to get too involved in.
I am not saying that that is the reason that MSU lost, they were not able to beat Gilles when they had the chance. 22 first period shots & 0 goals, that is where they have to get better.
