Re: SCSU Season Thread 2-Do We Hate Everybody as Much as They Hate Us?
He (Raboin) went down after he was cross-checked by Aaron Bendickson in Saturday's 7-4 loss at Wisconsin, left the Kohl Center on crutches and now apparently has a sprained right ankle. This week, he strode to and from the National Hockey Center wearing a walking boot. While the rest of the team was on the ice Tuesday, he was completing a range of exercises and riding an exercise bike in the training room. His status for the March 5-6 series against Minnesota State-Mankato remains in doubt and SCSU coach Bob Motzko has said he would consider holding Raboin out until the first round of the playoffs if it would ensure a stronger comeback.
"It's going to take a little bit of time," said Raboin, a senior defenseman and a rare two-year captain who wore an alternate's "A" as a sophomore. "As far as how much, I'm hoping I'm in control of that a little bit. But I've got to wait and see, I guess. I'm doing everything I can. It's just one of those things you have to go through. It came at a good time if it was to come ... I'll be able to play. It's just a matter of whether it's (against the Mavs) or when. We've got to take a look at the big picture. I feel it's coming along well, though."
The Huskies' only other injury question mark, sophomore forward Jared Festler, practiced Tuesday wearing a no-contact jersey and is expected to be available against Mankato.
The other concern of the week is whether Marvin will be suspended by the WCHA. He administered a hit last November that put North Dakota's Chay Genoway out since with a concussion. Marvin got a one-game suspension for that. Then, during a Feb. 13 game, he and Sioux forward Mario Lamoureux squared off to try and end the squabble created by the original injury to Genoway. A potential fight was stopped before it started and Lamoureux received a one-game suspension -- Marvin nothing. Then, last Saturday, Marvin caught Geoffrion going through the neutral zone with his head down. Marvin delivered a shoulder that replays have appeared to show caught Geoffrion in the head. Badgers coach Mike Eaves told the Huskies he planned to appeal to the league for further discipline.
Through Tuesday, no action had been handed down. But previous communiques have been sent later in the week, meaning action could come Wednesday or Thursday -- if it's going to come. Motzko, speaking at his radio show Monday night, said he expects some sort of penalty.
"There probably will be ramifications, especially given the heat (WCHA officials) are under lately," Motzko said.
Finally, it appears unlikely there would be any sanction against Roe for a cross-checking major he took at the end of Saturday's game. Of course, no one will truly know for sure until we see what -- if any -- action the WCHA will take.

What the hell, are you 7? My 12 year old wouldn't even stoop that low.
