Now next weekend is huge. A sweep by the Badgers and we are right back where we started. If the Gophers sweep, we are on our way. If the can get through the next four games 3-1 we are in good shape.

The rule as stated would suggest that there would be a penalty, but I think there is an implied intent for the player to make the contact to the head. For example, if I fall down and slide headfirst into the goalie, does he get a penalty for making contact with my head? It is hard to penalize a player if the oppenent puts themself in a bad position. It appeared to me that the AA player did everything to keep his arms down and make a clean, but aggressive hit. I wish Nick a speedy recovery.
I hope the teams both keep todays game clean and don't turn it into a penalty fest.
Hitting to the head is never legal, end of story. It's not subjective like a baseball strike zone. The rule is in place to protect players from injury. Contact to the head in football is illegal and called.
At the youth level, you teach kids that checking is used to separate players from the puck. In the case of Leddy, the puck had already been released and he was in a vulnerable position.
As for keeping it clean, Herb Brooks would have that picture in the locker room.
Good luck to the Gophers today, speedy recovery for Nick.
That is ridiculous...then you might as well field a team of midgets because no one will be able to touch them for fear of making contact to the head accidentally. Tall players will be handcuffed against checking because of it. How can someone who is 6 feet tall or greater check a guy 5' 5'' legally if you enforce that rule to the letter?
Youth level is one thing, but college level?

Slap Shot wrote:The rule of no tolerance for hits to the head is pretty black and white. The hit on Leddy should have been a penalty. Was it cheap? I don't know I won't make that call, but it was a hit to the head.
As for the weekend, it was good to get a sweep and score some goals but they will need to improve dramatically (especially the PP) to have any chance in Madison.

So any word on how long he is out for?
trixR4kids wrote:Our team definitely showed some improvement in a lot of areas, most noteably intensity. We really played well from the opening puck drop both nights which is something that has been lacking for a while. Last year we couldn't get a friday win or a sweep against any teams for that matter, and Alaska is a team with a lot of seniors. They aren't a great team but those are some points worth noting.
Also glad to see people like Patrick White create more goals and Hoefful causing problems in front of the net.
It will be interesting to see how we do against better goaltending though, that could be a problem.

What does he want to get out of this? I don't think it warrants a suspension on the UAA players part. Was just one of those things that happens in hockey, Leddy had his head down.

Could be doing it just to show he has his player's backs in situations like this that could help the player-coach relationship(s) down the road.
Kind of like Chilly going for it on 4th-and-short yesterday ... didn't get the goal accomplished on the field since Green Bay stuffed them, but at the same time the players liked that he had confidence in them, etc.

Maybe Richards called from the Wild and told Don that if he not going to develop these kids, the least he could do is protect their investment.![]()

I don't understand the argument that because Leddy's head was down it is somehow OK to make contact with his head, even though contact with the head is specifically against the rules, under any circumstance, with a zero-tolerance clause.
Can you help me better understand why you think the "no contact with the head" rule should be ignored just because Leddy had his head down?
Eliot Rosewater wrote:I agree that going after the player and trying to get him suspended isn't really doing any good. At most the guy should have gotten a penalty, maybe a major. I'm not even sure he should have been kicked out of the Friday game (or does a major penalty == kicked out of the game). I don't think a suspension is in order at all.
I do, however, think there is merit in bringing the incident to the attention to the league so that they can reiterate the zero-tolerance aspect of the rule to the referees and have them pay particular attention to this in the future.

I really didn't take your bait Spongebob. It just get's tiresome for those of us that aren't in your clique to have to read through your 5 year old "did too.....did not....my dad is bigger than your dad" arguments with people on here on a daily basis. They add nothing to the content of the site and I get enough of that with my kids......but at least with them, it's funny.
The fact of the matter is if you weren't buddies with the people that run the website, you'd have been banned for being a troll a long time ago. As I've said before, your act is tired. That you haven't been banned is unfortunate for the rest of us and to be honest, it isn't a positive for the site that you haven't been.
My 2 cents.

Now that I think about it, maybe they should have given him a major and game misconduct, which is pretty much what they do with with a dangerous check from behind. That sounds fair to me. Is there any instance when a check from behind is called and a player gets suspended for the next game?
