This is why I think the WCHA needs to have a WCHA network. MAYBE, channel 23 in Grand Forks, ND will pick up this game later this week. They do show other games around the league sometimes. I was able to watch the first game of the UMD and MSU-M series that happened a few weeks ago.
I don’t care what anyone says, the WCHA is the best college hockey league in college hockey and we can’t see 35% our games on TV. I think these games like UAA and SCSU need to be on T.V. and not just on some crappy webcast. I would like to see a replay with the over head camera and the synced up with the game clock.
Instead of being able to watch a good hockey game, instead I stomached Union and Clarkson (one sided game), B.C. and UMass (one sided game) and Cornell and QU (boring). I would also pay more money to see these other of market WCHA games on TV.
In St. Cloud, Minn., the St. Cloud State Huskies trailed 3-1 and 4-2 on the way to a tie. Anchorage managed just 19 shots on goal but got a goal and two assists from Kevin Clark. Ryan Lasch had two goals for St. Cloud State. On the tying play, St. Cloud State was on a power play and pulled goalie Dan Dunn for a two-man advantage. After Hanowski scored, the goal was reviewed.A conspiracy theorist might ask did Motzko buy his team a break with his end of game tirade last weekend. What do you think? Just think that 0-27-4 streak was in jeopardy of becoming history when the unexpected happened.
"Right away (the referee) signaled 'goal,' so you're thinking — or you're hoping — that he's right," Hanowski told the St. Cloud Times.
"We got to the bench and, you know, I know the horn went off before (the puck) hit the twine in the back of the net. So you're nervous, especially since they're taking awhile to look at it. But it ended up being good and it's a big relief." [Rink and Run]
that announcer is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI dunno...
ReplyDeleteI don't think the call had anything to do with Motzko because if you watched the whole game you would have saw UAA get away with a ton of dirty play and penalties, including 2 5 minute majors. The one on Last towards the end of the game was brutal and I can't believe he wasn't hurt. Horrible CFB and Campion was right there watching it and didn't call it. I bet Papa Shep gave him hell after the game for it.
ReplyDeleteSo, any UAA fans that are whining should shut up because their team is who's to blame for the tie because the refs tried to give them the game.
My personal favorite was when UAA's#40 had to be held back by multiple people when he tried to go after Campion. That kid is a hack and has a horrible temper.
Without looking at the roster, who is 40 on the Seawolves? You should post your thoughts on the game. Unforunately I didn't get to watch it because Direct TV doesn't do the WCHA very well. The Server at work doesn't let you do streaming videos either.

ReplyDeleteMake it 0-27-4 for the Seawolves at the NHC...scratch that, the Huskies pounded 'em 6-0 on Saturday, so its now 0-28-4. The streak lives on.
ReplyDeleteLGM - Huh. I admire your faith in Greg Shepherd.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with saying that Shepherd did very little in the way of holding Campion accountable. That's why he's slipped as a ref. When he started, he was good. He was consistent, and I really felt like he was auditioning for the role he was playing rather than having been hired for it. Since then, he's realized that there is no pressure for him to improve or even maintain a high caliber of officiating professionalism under Shepherd. The ACL injury compounded the problem.
Now, Campion is a mediocre at best official.
Too bad. Him and Zelkin started out so great in the WCHA and have fallen off the map.
