Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

For all their fronting of tArrogance, they wish they were us.

For all the hand wringing over your hockey team, seems you guys don't wish you were you.

And it's STILL better than being you. Amazing isn't it?

[Gurtholfin]

This is amazing. I actually show feeling for your pathetic program, I sort of wish a degree of success, and yet I get ridiculed. The stupidity of the majority of your fanbase never fails to amaze me. Gurt, you are not included in that generalization.

I'll go ahead and assume that Almington is.

Confusing is more like it.

Almsy, despite being a complete and utter a-hole, and someone who'd I'd NEVER....EVER....EVER associate with...is okay.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

But yet you can't stop posting here. Not that I am all that surprised.

Dude, WW has written you a prescription for what ails you. You might consider taking it.


What a performance by Rumps, especially down the stretch. Amazing. Really though a good performance all around. Tech is the real deal, they are bigger, faster, stronger than Bucky but this was a great effort by the boys. There weren't many of those shots that were uncontested and there were a lot of Techies getting blasted in front. Great, great, win.

That third period was the longest one I've sat through in quite a long time. Whew!

Sorry, just not in the mood for their normal bs tonight...

Better effort tonight obviously, and a win.

MTU with a reported 102 shots attempted (link below, hope it works). Gotta give credit.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

If Rumpel doesn't stand on his head (and get a couple pipe saves), this is another 8-1 game. Yeah, the overall effort looked better, but this team is seriously lacking in puck handling.

The amazing thing is the first goal was scored at the tail end of one of the worst power plays I have ever seen. It almost looked like Tech was so intent on scoring the shorty they forgot to play defense.

Defense wasn't that bad today. Obviously could have been better. Without Rumpel we would have lost but definitely not 8-1. Half of Tech's shots were dump in type things or shots from the blueline. Don't let UWs total shots fool you, they had a lot of opportunities in front were the puck never actually reached the goalie. Instances where a SOG would actually be probably warranted.

Bucky skated close to even tonight.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

Bucky knocks off #5 and somewhere Chuck was watching high school hockey.

I watched an (awful) high school game this afternoon. Tonight I was in LaCrosse for Coulee Region vs. Janesville in a really good NAHL clash.

Watching the game on DVR right now. It's about **** time Rumpel stole a game. Everything else in the game seems to be concerning, but at least one piece was good tonight.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

It's pretty hard to ignore why Rumpel faced that many shots to begin with.

But whatever, we aren't seeing many more wins this year, so let's just enjoy it while it lasts.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

Just out of curiosity I put a clock on Badger 5x5 puck possession the first two periods. Well most of it, because the first 3 minutes of the second is missing from the replay, but 2 min. of that were a Tech PP. Here's the (unscientific) results:

Period 1 - 8:39 of 18:00

Period 2 - 7:03 of 13:00

Obviously most the third we lined up on our own blue line in a shell with the lead so I didn't bother to track it.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Episode XXXI: A New Hope

A win is a win is a win. The shot totals were indicative of the play. The Badgers were badly outplayed, but as hockey sometimes has a way of working things out, a goalie standing on his head, a few helpful posts, a fortunate chip up in the neutral zone and you put a second win in the win column.

Badger shot totals could have easily been in the 30's if they were on net or didn't get blocked.
