RE: 2017 NCAA Tournament Pick'em
(03-22-2017 05:45 PM)Sup Wrote: I think i will sum up our chances like this. "Referee,s will determine our fate" We are a big physical team and when ref's allow us to play physical we seem to have success. This is an NHL AHL WHL OHL USHL and any other junior league kind of team. And they all allow a physical aggressive style of play, as well as a few ncaa refs. The problem is the 60 percent of ncaa ref,s that think the game is about them and there ego,s. If a guy goes down there must be a penalty if someone gets hit to hard there must be a penalty and it's usually the back ref calling the penalty as well , the one who assumes what happened cause he is to far away to really know. I have watched thousand,s of games of hockey live in many different leagues and the constant inconsistancy of reffing is the worst in the NCAA . I watched the UND UMD final game last week live and 60 percent of the penalties were B.S made up calls , so it just ain't against us . Lets just hope this is about the hockey teams and not the referee's . i ain't holding my breath. Go Broncos Go
Can't blame if we lose on the ref's Sup, but what you say is correct about the style of the play and players Murray brings on board, and that is one of my issues with him. WMU does not play in the NHL, OHL, AHL, etc.... This is college hockey and teams that are big and bang get rung up a lot. NCAA Hockey is not a rough and tumble league. Hell, these kids after Jr's, have to go back to wearing cages. He is not gonna change the style of play in the NCAA or the way they call the game, so when we take penalties for being big or aggressive, playing an NHL Style game, we are constantly digging out of holes.

This +1 could not agree more DudeReally. AM needs to realize this isn't the pros, NHL, and they cant be playing the heavy type game all the time, that's why we get in trouble with these boarding type calls, some may be waived if this was the pros, but this is College.

RE: 2017 NCAA Tournament Pick'em
Just got home and turned on the tube to find Harvard up 2 - 0 on Providence. They are talking as if Providence has dominated but can't get the puck by Harvard's goalie. Said Providence has scored only 2 goals in the last 8 periods.

Weird, it must not've saved mine.
I decided to have fun and had WMU playing Michigan Tech in the Final, with WMU winning. I had NCHC teams winning where required.

I thought they had Duluth go to Fargo because Duluth would bring fans. Sad.
