Initial contact was by McBride trying to move outside. Risely got his elbow up to resist. Then McBride went nuclear.

So it's not just the wimpy American officials who DQ people.

Jeff riseley does not deserve to be in the final on "exceptional circumstances" he moved into the wide part of lane 1 and held up his elbow to keep mcbride from moving up and box him out. Brandon went into UFC knockout mode and in turn was a total jerk. DQ them both.

Risely was going past McBride and McBride moved out a bit. Risely moved his arm there to protect himself.

Then McBride went nuts.

Sensible decisions all round.

The video here lets me understand why McBride did what he did.

I loved it but dude come on, that's a DQ.

But at some level, it just raises my appreciation for him. Triple jump NCAA champ Muhammid Halim famously proclaimed at Cornell, "You can't coach clutch."

You also can't coach moxie.

Does McBride have it?

-Rojo

PS. I only vaguely know what moxie is.

google proves my belief of what it mean was correct. Thank you Princeton. Can I please get some credit for once using my princeton degree instead of producing a typo?

Meh, looks like a dive by the Aussie. That's a clean hit in the NHL.

I will totally give you credit for that. You are usually typo-making machine (albeit a friendly, knowledgeable, good-natured one) so you definitely deserve credit for being right on 'moxie' and using that Princeton degree. Way to work it!

But c'mon sir, we capitalize proper nouns like Princeton! No slacking. It be yer alma mater after all ;)

and in criticizing you, I made my own typo (that should have read "usually *a* typo-making machine") so I guess I shouldn't throw stones. Carry on.

Why do you love it?

he loves it, because most runners wont give a hit after cut off like Mcbride did. was a pretty large dive by the ausie.

Seems like a clutch performance would have been to qualify.

This seems like the petulant action of someone in over his head.

Yes. That's something you should get DQ'd for.

Jumbo Elliott could coach moxie. Back in the day, Villanova turned out racers.

Speaking of moxie and Jumbo, Marty Liquori would have popped McBride in the chin if he pulled that crap on him.

Pretty ho-hum.

I thought Aussies were supposed to be tough? A real man would take the hit, not take hand-out calls like that from the ref and fight him in the third period.

Mistakes are made. There's no doubt I was in the wrong. Can't take it back , the only thing I can do is correct it and learn from it.This is from Brandons twitter.Nice to see someone admit mistakes and own up to them.His future looks bright.

did anyone else laugh at risely's overreaction to mcbride? that was by todays defintion a flop. amateur hour...
