Fuck Shegos. That shit is just simply unacceptable. I'm livid right now.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:42 PM ^
Yeah... uh... that was a goal...
January 29th, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
That was the most goal ever.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
That was a brutal call. Being a Red Wings fan, I know all to well how the intent to blow the whistle and whistle blowing early screws you over. It was an awful call, but don't let it blind you to the fact that Michigan was awful tonight. I do not know which was worse, Michigan's Power Play or Michigan's STUPID GOD DAMN PENALTIES. Sure, they got screwed over at the end....but it was their fault for letting themselves be in a position to have a goal like that called off by playing terrible hockey for the first 50 minutes of that game.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
Shegos needs to retire. He has never been a competent referee. I remember going to games as a kid and the students had a special four-letter word chant for him.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:46 PM ^
Just saying...
January 29th, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
This is the same Shegos as then.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
Bouje -
i believe he's saying this is the same Shegos that 'whistled in his head' - i can't be sure
January 29th, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
It appears that Duke Shegos has been retired since 2002, and Matt has been around for a long time. The mailbag said they were both shitty referees though, so I will consider them to be one single "Shegos."
Matt Shegos(from tonight) is a 1984 University of Michigan Engineering Alum.

I'd drink beer and break shit right now. Instead, I'll just drink beer.
And break shit.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
right now.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:41 PM ^
Some inanimate objects would have paid dearly for both losses to MSU this week, in my younger days. And there would have been much cursing, angrying of the the fists and possibly chain smoking.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
there are other people on here who know the history of UM hockey enough to immediately reference the mental whistle. Shegos is so awful. he was out of position and got nervous with it being late in the game. it's bullshit and bush league on his part.
and now i'm done bitching about it.
i suggest everyone to get it out of their system and then move on.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
SHEGOS IS BETTER!!! Oh, wait...*headdesk*
January 29th, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
Best Thread Title of the day.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
Reminiscent of the 2003 frozen four semifinal against Minnesota
January 29th, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
Why did you have to put that game back into my memory? That has to be some sort of cruel and unusual punishment.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
...and the disallowed goal was right in front of the Michigan section. It's forever burned into my memory. I even remember Eric Nystrom breaking his stick in half across the boards as he left the ice.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:48 PM ^
And having that piece of shit Wilkins reffing. When he would make a stupid penalty students would chant out "we want shegos" and I would always yell back "GOD DAMMIT NO WE DON'T". And this is why. He's terrible. *sigh*.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
now i have wilkins on the mind. and shegos. fml.
btw: is your name eric, circa Couzens dorm?
January 29th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
It could be the reffing from hell.. Shegos AND Wilkins... I'd commit Sepaku.
And no... I lived in Markley and my name is not Eric.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
but I wussed out and committed Harry Caray instead.
12 beers later....
Budweiser is the king of beers- CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!
HEY LOOK AT THE KID IN THE BIG SOMBRERO!
January 29th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
WOO THIS SKATING IS FUN OH MY GOD THE GOALIE'S PAD JUST DEVOURED THE PUCK MOTHER OF GOD SOMEONE GET A STRETCHER *whistle* I NEED A HOT DOG AND A TALL COLD BUDWEISER
January 30th, 2010 at 10:20 AM ^
And I'm not 100% positive, but I think Wilkins was the one who blew the early whistle, not Shegos.
The scary part is, as awful as Shegos is, the standard of refereeing in the CCHA has dropped so much that he's actually one of the better refs in the league now. That game was atrociously called throughout, and I think there have been more Michigan-MSU games that I've seen that had a wrongly-waved-off goal one way or the other than didn't.
In fairness, if the BTN announcers were correct in implying that the hit that wiped out the MSU goal just a minute before would have been legal if the Michigan player had played the puck first (I'm not convinced they were - I think they were arguing more about whether it was interference and didn't notice that it was from behind), then the nullified MSU goal was a screw-job as well because he DID knock the puck down with his glove first. But there's no question that the waved-off goal for you guys should have counted.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
Yeah they did that for the game I went to this year too. I would have to say most of the time the refs are terrible no matter who is reffing.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
Shegos is a shitbutt and I hope butts shit on him for all eternity
January 29th, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
Big Boutros you have such a way with words....your MgoBlogs version of Robert Frost.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
I'm going out to get the papers...get the papers.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:42 PM ^
Eloquently phrased, sir. Reading your comment made me think immediately of this Penny-Arcade strip, if anyone cares.
February 1st, 2010 at 12:17 AM ^
Shegos is a bisexual deity without waste evacuation capability. Be careful. Very careful in your comments. You might end up as the shitee.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
Hopefully for his wife he isn't as quick in the sack as he was with that whistle. Goal.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
Uhhhhhh. Get out.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
They haven't interviewed anyone from Michigan yet. Red I'm sure is livid because not only did we not play well but we got jobbed.. I wouldn't want to talk to him either.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
The BTN was just too eager to comment on how "the rivalry is back" to give two shits about how we got completely screwed by the officiating at the end.
January 29th, 2010 at 9:59 PM ^
you see the puck at least slow down a little signifying the goalie at least made contact with the puck, giving the ref a minimal out for blowing his whistle. On this play the puck NEVER SLOWED DOWN. A ref HAS to give a chance for the puck to leak through a goalie. If it doesn't come out of the goalie's pads with velocity and the same trajectory, then blow the whistle.
I repeat from the open thread. HORSESHIT.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
Shegos has two daughters at MSU...
January 29th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
Where's my local freep reporter to get on this conspira..... never mind. Fuck me.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
there's no words.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:26 PM ^
that play sports for MSU too.... His son probably works for the LA Kings or the Free Press!!

I'm still so mad I cant type straight....
January 29th, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
So what exactly was going through his head?
Hmm.....
(Look at goal) "Hmm no puck"
(Turns away then looks back) "Hmm there's a puck there, wait, it wasn't there before so no way it's a goal"
January 29th, 2010 at 10:30 PM ^
I miss college...Ferris had a chant where someone yelled "SHEGOS" and everyone in the student sections yelled "BOTH WAYS"
ahhh...the days of immaturity
January 30th, 2010 at 2:43 AM ^
Western has one too, it goes something along the lines of "she sucks, she blows"...but the exact details escape me. I think everybody hates him.
January 30th, 2010 at 8:27 AM ^
I seem to recall NMU also having one that went something like that.
January 29th, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
Complete and utter bullshit. But as others have said, Michigan didn't exactly play all that well tonight...
January 29th, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
Just like your mgoname
January 29th, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
Not only was the last call hmmm questionable, but throughout the game the calls were terrible. I was only able to watch the last two periods but I saw a bad offsides call, a bad elbow call, bad roughing call, and an iffy hook. The whole game was poor in every way.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
I was there, (though not at that end), and I watched the puck cross the line and the fucking red goal light come on.
What the hell. I hate Munn. We never win there, and it's such jobbage.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
That's all.
