TO BE FAIR:

The "even when we get a break we don't get a break" had NOTHING to do with the refs' call. Nothing. Quirky situation, and the right call(s) in that situation. Just bad luck that the same guy got two penalties.

It sort of fit the context so I used it.

Not personal and I don't consider you a whiner.


Only concerned about supporting MY side of the debate.

I can't be too careful, especially around this time of year. It's Newbie Season.......

Yeah, those whiney Badger fans sure are annoying...

How about giving an answer? How was that hit on Warning not interference?

Cool time lapse photography on the construction of the ice rink at Soldier Field.

Looked to me like Warning should have got 2 for diving.

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin : 02/15 - 02/17

I'm trying to remember even one "Bucky fan" who said anything at all like that?

I didn't see any bad calls.

Good to see at least someone in red has a concept of the rules.

At the game, I couldn't go 30 seconds in the 3rd period with someone sitting around me crying about how the "refs need to go back to minnesota" or "can't win when the refs won't let you." Not that I expect any less when I'm at the Kohl Center, because it happens basically any time a badger gets checked without a penalty, but boy it goes old.

Should be a GREAT day of hockey.... Just too bad the wild game over laps by an hour

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin : 02/15 - 02/17

Since the game is being played at a football field, are we going to see some of this between the 2nd and 3rd period?

Not a lot of "glide" for the puck or goalies during the Notre Dame - Miami game.
Glad MN - red team have the later game today as the sun won't be shining directly on the ice.

No question about it and it makes me ****ing sick. Not to mention only WI kids, how many from other states and provinces have turned their noses up at WI because of the system? I'm not "anti-trap", but you've got to have ****ing balance.

Been out of town and just watched the VHS tape (yes) of the game last night. Haven't read all the posts, so sorry if already mentioned. During the MN / UND series, a lot of posters commented that Bucky was no longer as big a rivalry for them as the Whoiux. A lot mentioned WI having some down years contributing. I think part of it is how boring WI hockey is to watch. When UND and MN have good teams and both are playing well, games are up and down the ice with lots of scoring chances. It gets you off your seat/sofa. Against WI, not so much. Not for several years. You just sit and wait through a bunch of neutral ice play for one scoring chance followed by a bunch more neutral ice play. Hard to get too fired up for a series with this type of play year after year. (Sort of like the way the NHL is, unless they make the extremely unlikely decision to start playing on Olympic ice at some point.) And you wonder why Bucky doesn't sell out.

Sitting in Mariuci with whining, entitled fans in your ear for 60 minutes gets old too. Opening your mouth to anything anti gopher there is a big no no with the fans as well. You could stay home if you dont like it.

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin : 02/15 - 02/17

I've seen plenty of hockey, at rinks all over the WCHA, and the wholesale lack of basic knowledge of the game in Madison really stands out. A little back and forth if you're wearing another school's colors is expected no matter where you go.

And I do stay home, except during the Gopher series. I would go to a lot more games at the Kohl Center, just out of an appreciation for college hockey, if you didn't have so many fans who are so vocal about their lack of understanding of the game!

Then again, you were the person earlier who was saying that the Kohl Center was built for Hockey, right?

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin : 02/15 - 02/17

Hey, at least I haven't heard the crowd in Madison get as loud for two-on-threes in the past few years! I suppose that could be because there isn't as much of a crowd to make the noise...

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin : 02/15 - 02/17

I was right. Bad ice = Splitzky.

Game was so slow it took Mn high end skill away.
