After years of watching Badgers play in the WCHA, you take for granted the strong officiating and I just watched the Bagers beat The Gophers in hockey twice. It would be a shame if the Big ten doesn't do something with the officiating crews they have for hockey. Must have been an after thought since this is a football and basketball dominated league. Hockey in the Big ten can become a real winner. However they need to look at the officiating crews. There was a rule put in years ago that opposing teams receive a penalty when a player takes a dive. Never thought I'd see any hockey game end with a team having the same advantage the basketball teams enjoy at home when it comes to foul totals. This is not high school hockey and look at all the other conferences in hockey. Just like football they could call penalties the entire game but bottom line is each team ends up with roughly the same amount of penalties in hockey. Big ten refs are a joke right now for hockey. I just saw my team win two games and the referees were still an embarassment for both teams. Everytime a player loses his edge on their skates the arm goes up and a penalty is called. They are going to ruin what can be a very good product.
