Motzko Given Reprimand by WCHA
CHN Staff Report
The WCHA has issue a public reprimand to St. Cloud State coach Bob Motzko for violating the league's "Code of Conduct/Sportsmanship Rules."
After the game, Motzko went on the ice to dispute a goal call. The goal in question came with 90 seconds remaining in his team's 5-4 loss to Colorado College last Saturday. That loss knocked the Huskies out of first place, for now.
St. Cloud State thought it had scored the tying goal, but referee Brett Klozowski said he blew the whistle after losing sight of the puck under CC goalie Joe Howe's arm. The puck did eventually go in, clearly, but after reviewing the play on video, the call stood as no goal.
Motzko had to be restrained by other officials after going on the ice to argue with Klozowski.
“We scored a goal,” Motzko told reporters. “Everybody in the rink knows we scored a goal."

He did not go onto the ice with 90 seconds left. He approached the officials after the game and had to be held back by the other officials. You need to make sure your facts are straight before you post this stuff. http://www.uscho.com/recaps/20092010/m/01/30/scsu-cc.php#ixzz0eQorNnjq

Doesn't Coach Motzko know that Lord Farquaad (say it quickly, the Disney folks' joke is much more evident then), a/k/a George Gwozdecky, is the ONLY coach in the WCHA allowed to walk on the ice, berate officials and do his dasher dances without fear of retribution? Sheesh, Bob, what were you thinkin'? BTW George, that schtick is getting old!

Disney didn't make Shrek. Dreamworks did. No way all those jokes would have made it in if Disney did. "Dead broad, off the table!"
