I've considered Tamer to be a cheap shot ever since I saw
him put his stick into the ribs of LSSU goalie Darrin Madeley
a few years ago at Yost.  This was away from the puck and was not the
result of any other contact.  Simply a skate-by attack that left
Madeley in a pile on the ice for the next five minutes.  It appears
this type of play is indicative of Tamer's style.
 
As far as the experience of visitors at Yost, I can accept the
well-orchestrated "C-YA!" and "THEY STILL SUCK!" from the Michigan fans
as standard college hockey practice.  But if they sell me one more
ticket to STAND in the BLEACHERS back in a CORNER behind a POLE ...
I may lodge a complaint.
