Just so you know, Jesse Martin was checked by Malone, not Frattin and Jesse Martin called it a clean hit. I suppose we could go the way of women's hockey and outlaw checking but then who's going to watch it?

What bothered me a lot more happened tonight during the North
Dakota/Denver game, though off the ice. It disturbs me that the
announcers managed to have an extended discussion about Matt Frattin's
character without once mentioning the name Kevin Wehrs. They also
talked about what an inspiration Jesse Martin has been to Denver since
suffering multiple fractures in his neck in October without ever even
hinting at how those fractures happened. As some folks know, I've
switched my primary rooting interest to the Minnesota women's team, and
followed women's hockey much more intently this year than I did the
men's. There were a lot of factors that led to this, most of them
involving off-ice aspects of the game. However, the WCHA's complete
refusal to step in and do anything to rein in North Dakota before they
seriously hurt someone was a part of the decision process. The Sioux
are out of control, and before any of there fans accuse me of Gopher
bias, it isn't just us. Your team has sufficiently disgusted a number
of Minnesota-Duluth fans that I know that they actually celebrate when
the Gophers beat you. That takes a lot of doing, but you have
accomplished it.
