You know what? Nothing in the (hockey) world will please me more than
seeing the group of thugs that calls themselves a hockey team at NMU
leaving the WCHA. The so called referees did absolutely nothing to help
either. Mike Crowley, who deservedly attracts a lot of physical attention,
was on the losing end of a very hard check from behind about 1.5 feet from
the boards. No penalty call. Why? The chicken *** (pardon my french)
ref's wouldn't call anything with <1:00 left. Haven't they learned that
getting hit from behind like that ends careers and possibly lives? This
was after Wyatt Smith received a seperated shoulder from a check from
behind (that did get called) earlier in the game. Northern plays a stupid
kind of hockey, a lot of stickwork and a lot of cheapshots. Enjoy them
CCHA, I know I won't miss seeing them.
