This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

There's still something off with this team by wearendhockey

The PSU game was maybe a blip on the radar. They were outhustled and outmuscled for a good portion of the game. I thought they were damn lucky to come out with a tie, and Morris deserves much of the credit for that. The team looked gassed for the final 5 minutes and for the OT. How many times did skaters lose their guy and Western was able to generate great chances? They played better as the game wore on, but for too much of the game WMU appeared to want the pucks more.

I also thought the call in OT was going to go the other way, but I guess the refs thought Morris had no chance to make a save after getting plowed into -- which was correct. (related, I wish they were required to explain their reasoning when they go to the video review)

As for those good old days I'm not remembering a game like that. I remember Lawson was often a house of horrors. Even some of Jackson's better teams lost badly up there.
