Bruess Suspened for one game.

Seems to be a common reoccurring theme here. Uber Hack Trevor Bruess has been suspended for his actions on the ice last weekend. While some want to defend ths players actions there is no excuse for a player to runs around the ice kneeing people, you can ruin someone career in a heart beat. That is how all Pro Cam Neely's career was ended. I consider the kneeing penalty even more gutless than the checking from behind penalty.

When Minnesota State University Mankato was in Grand Forks to play this season a lot of fans were saying Bruess was leaving to go pro after the season was over. I am going to make a prediction; If Trevor Bruess pulls some of the bush league tactics I have seen you commit on the ice this season in the ECHL or the AHL you're going to get it handed to you.

MADISON, Wis. – The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) announced today (March 11, 2009) that Mavericks’ junior forward Trevor Bruess has been suspended for one game as a result of his actions in last Saturday’s conference game against St. Cloud State held in Mankato, Minn. Bruess will be required to serve his one-game suspension during Minnesota State’s next scheduled game at the University of Wisconsin on Friday, March 13.

Here is the boxscore for Mr Bruess during last Saturday nights game. Two penalties for kneeing in the same period. I don't remember the last time I saw that.
MNS-1 Trevor Bruess (5-Kneeing) STC 0x1
MNS-3 Trevor Bruess (2-Kneeing) STC 0x3
MNS-6 Trevor Bruess (2-Roughing)

  1. The kneeing penalty IS a gutless penalty and it's extremely dangerous, especially when you're hearing that this particular player always does it on purpose and then laughs when he takes a guy out. Can you say psycho??

  2. No surprise here. Mankato is known for their scrappy, chippy, dirty style of hockey and that's the only way they can win. When caught up in a "real", aka "clean" hockey game, they lose. They're style of hockey and their lack of discipline is a direct result of their coaching. It can be effective at times though...
