Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids
It's always interesting when these types of comments are made because it's usually based on one or two games in which the reffing has been shaky. The numbers, frankly, don't bear out that opinion. MSU is the 3rd most penalized team in the conference. I'm not sure how that translates into MSU being given too many gifts. I suspect the bad reffing in the Saturday night MSU/MTU game is stuck in your craw (and, by the way, I don't blame you for that as it was atrocious).Mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids
Watching the Bowling Green feed on WCHA.tv. I will say they have a nice crisp, clear feed. But they need to work on which camera to use. They are relying way to much on the low corner cameras and not utilizing the high center ice one enough. Low corners are nice for when there is some action in the corners, but not wjen a team is zipping the puck around on offense or when the puck is at the other end oc the ice. It leads to an almost nausious feeling as the camera has to move so much and so fast.
Thus the big rub with paying for WCHA.tv.....many of the league schools broadcasts are from student interns who are just learning the ropes and the broadcast quality varies greatly from school to school.

Originally posted by bravohankins View PostI've also noticed the odd camera choices at BG home games by the technical director at the video board. I think this is because these positions, like the announcers, are all being manned by BGSU students this year. In past years some of the WCHA.tv feeds from BG were of the cable broadcasts on BCSN. This meant that you obviously had paid professionals handling these job functions. I have not noticed any BCSN broadcasts on WCHA.tv this year. The have all been by BG or WBGU..........their person on the video board needs some more seasoning that is apparent.

It is nice to have the various camera angles and everything, but they have to be used properly to have a quality broadcast.Millsy

Serious question: How does a player get called for "interference" when he checks the player in control of the puck? And I'm not talking making the check simultaneously to the player getting the puck. I've seen it called multiple times.

But more than once this season, I've seen a ref looking straight at two players when one spears the other, or offers a pretty good slash, yet nothing is called even though he was looking straight on just feet away. It's things like this that make me question the ability of some of the zebras.LSSU Alumni & Fan.

Re: WCHA Season Thread 2017-18: In Which We Try For Two Bids
Just curious, has anyone here that's complaining actually officiated a game at any point in the past 10 years? Just curious.
