Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
Listen, we've historically done better in the NCAAs than we have in conference play. It's great to win where it truly counts, but that conference ineptitude isn't exactly a badge of honor.
For all of our success, we only have one treble (to borrow a soccer term) to our name.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
It's maybe cliché but come crunch time your best players just have to be your best players and play well if your going to have success. We're 2-4 and Kunin, Frederick, Hughes, and Besse have combined for 4g 5a 9pts in the last 6. That's a combined .375 pts/game pace. We're obviously going nowhere fast if those guys produce at that rate.
Question is, why aren't they? I mean Hughes, Kunin, and Frederick combined for 20 pts in the previous 6 games vs. the same teams, (1.11pts/game) so it's hard to say it's only the competition. It's something that has infected the team. Seems like a ton of times they made bad passes and plays by hurrying instead of just taking that extra half second to make a good play. Or conversely they'd try to take the time and end up with paralysis and not make any play. To me all that speaks to a team that's not confident and is really feeling the pressure to perform, rather than going out confidently and just doing what you do. And that's a hard thing to fix with just five days until you face a do or die situation.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

We call can see why Greenway was a late college commit, his demeanor is not the ideal one for the college game, it's more suited for the minors/NHL. He single handedly blew up Friday's game with an awful turnover that lead to a 1st period goal, then is stupidity cost us a goal and lead to the OSU goal. UW played like crap the whole game, but getting to 3-2 could have propelled them to play better and possibly win Friday.
Sucks for Jurusic. In Jack we trust.
It's still a been a great season with a lot of growth and tons of positives. Maybe there's just too much poop in the litter box and the litter can't handle it. Next season less poop will be in the litter box.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
Blocked shots were the difference in last nights game. It would be interesting to see shot attempts in last nights game. OSU on D clogged the middle and blocked a ton of shots. The block shots created odd man breaks, which OSU put away. Frustrating game last night, I thought the Badgers controlled most of the play.

31 minutes into the game the Badgers had 9 shots on goal-- 7 in the first, 2 in the second. It's not that they aren't playing hard, (although I think they were a little flat early both nights) face offs were close, and they battled plenty. In my eyes, it's more that they have lost their poise.
And they have to get it back by Friday afternoon.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
Looking at the comparisons that we would have to flip to get into the top-14 aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm pretty certain it can't be done.
We'd have to have a pretty significant RPI swing to overcome more than one or two and there won't be enough games to overcome our H2H deficit against OSU or PSU.
As if it wasn't obvious enough: It's two games to win and get in, and I don't think there's another way. Will have to see when CHN's You Are The Committee comes out.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
