I just read the ANN ARBOR NEWS recaps of this past weekend's games. Included in the text was... "There was five guys in a crowd, they fall down and we get a high sticking," Welsh said of the crucial penalty that led to Sittler's game-winner. "Ohio State continues to get the short straw by the officials when playing good teams." ... OK, not only is Welsh an idiot (IMHO), but he is also blind. With about four minutes remaining on Friday, and the game tied 3-3, I turned to my friend and told him that we had OSU in unfamiliar territory...they weren't used to being in the game this late. Seconds later, OSU captain Tim Green wrapped the blade of his stick around a Michigan players neck and then stuck it in his face shield. Needless to say, this is the high sticking that Welsh is referring to. Everyone in my group was cracking up because it was so blatant...and that's the leadership that we've come to expect from the buckeye captains over the years. Jerry, I know it'll ruin your GQ profile, but get some glasses, Bud. :-) On another note, the paper reported that Michigan captain Brian Wiseman is doubtful for this weekend's CCHA-WCHA Challenge.
