Date Title Body
16 hours 3 min ago Probably my favorite band and

Probably my favorite band and favorite song.  Dark as hell, but pretty amazing.

2 days 11 hours ago Too bad.  I was hoping that

Too bad.  I was hoping that Young could help Kellen Moore get acclimated with the team.

2 days 12 hours ago Correct.  Sometimes my typing

Correct.  Sometimes my typing gets ahead of my brain.  It looks like there will be at least two more seasons and I can't wait to see where they go with it.

2 days 15 hours ago You say that like it is a bad

You say that like it is a bad thing.  SOA was a great show.

Also, we at Michigan should know well enough not to judge a book by its cover.  He was participating in a charity event.  If given the choice between a player with tattoos (that he paid for himself, of course) and/or long hair, who is a team player and does charitable work, or a clean-cut guy that is all about himself, I will take the former any day.

6 days 11 hours ago RIP MCA.

RIP MCA.

6 days 11 hours ago It would not be fair to make

It would not be fair to make other teams play in the cold?  Fair?  As Inigo Montoya said, "You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."

Are both teams playing on the same field?  Did both teams have the opportunity to earn home field advantage by having a better season and earning a higheer seed?  If the answer to these questions is yes, then STFU and bring parkas for when you are on the bench.

Now if one team started the game with 14 points on the scoreboard, or if one team was prohibited from using the forward pass, then you could talk about unfairness.  Decisions in a multi-billion-dollar organization should not be based on juvenile notions of fairness.

6 days 13 hours ago No.  Don't hit a goalie.

No.  Don't hit a goalie.  One, you will start a big fight, and two, you will get a penalty.  Goalies are kind of like kickers in football.  They are often in vulnerable positions, so they get extra protection.  If he is behind the goal and playing the puck, you can try to make a stick check on his stick, but a body check is a no-no.  If the puck is free after the goalie makes a save, and the whistle hasn't blown, feel free to try and take a whack at it or poke it home, but also expect to receive a face-wash or a cross-check from a defenseman for doing so.

6 days 13 hours ago If the hits are just dickish

If the hits are just dickish and not dangerous, a smile and a point to the scoreboard are usually enough to put him in his place.  If the guy is making dangerous hits, one of your teammates should have knocked him on his ass without actually dropping the gloves.  Most refs will understand the defense of a teammate and will just give you a matching minor.  They want him to get the message just as much as you do, so he will stop doing that shit and putting them in a difficult position.

6 days 13 hours ago 1)  You don't board another

1)  You don't board another player in any league, much less a non-checking one, regardless of what they are wearing.

2)  If you don't like getting your ass handed to you, work harder and get better.  Don't play dirty.

3)  The Michigan gear is sweet.  I have a pair of Michigan hockey pants from the garage sale, and they are far and away the best and most protective hockey pants I have ever had.  Someone shouldn't have to wear lesser gear just because some buckeye can't handle the sight of Michigan gear.

6 days 13 hours ago It is a hard thing to define

It is a hard thing to define a dirty hit in hockey, because it is often a matter of degree and timing.  For example, you are not supposed to hit someone from behind, but a lof of hits along the boards are somewhat from behind, often because the player might try to spin away from the hit or might try to use his body to shield the puck.

Probably the worst hits are those that are from behind and are a few feet away from the boards.  Rather than having your whole body make contact with the boards (or at least much of your upper body), you are more likely to catch just your head on the boards, and that is how people get head and neck injuries.

It is also a matter of timing.  You can finish a check if the player just got rid of the puck, but you can't hit him too long after that.  It is kind of like roughing the passer in football  - a split second is okay, a couple of seconds is not.

When checking, the contact should also come above the waist and below the neck.  Going knee-to-knee is dirty and dangerous, and getting elbows up to the head is too.  Slew-footing is tripping a person by pushing their feet out from under them from behind, and is very dangerous because it causes the person to hit either their tailbone or the back of their head.  That is why slew-footing a guy is a good way to start a fight.

Cross-checks happen all of the time, epecially along the boards and in front of the net, and are technically a penalty, but many are not called.  It often depends on whether it affected the play, and how vicious the cross-check was.  Sometimes it is just done to push a player out of the slot area or just to irritate them and take them off of their game.  Other times it can be dangerous, especially when they find the soft spot between the hockey pants and the shoulder pads.

Yeah, yeah.  I know.  tl;dr
