I know it was a penalty but it shouldn't have been a 5 minute. Ramage just needs to use his head.

Regardless of if it should have been a 2, 4, or 5 minute penalty, Ramage needed to use better judgement and not take ANY penalties in that game situation.

From where I was sitting, which, admittedly was a fair distance away, it looked like a flop - and not even a good one. But I haven't seen a replay, so I could be wrong. Given that there was an awful lot of grabbing and pushing behind plays the entire game, I think calling a 5 minute at that point was complete crap.

It's too bad, I thought the Badgers had a better effort tonight than the last couple weeks.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2010-2011, The next generation.

heartbreaker. that's all I can say. for 2 periods Wisconsin deserved the W.

Bennett deserved better I feel, and I've been a detractor for much of the season on him...he played great tonight.

Ramage didn't deserve 5 but it didn't matter.

in the end they didn't make enough plays and that's just it. it's funny that setting the bar at 20 wins to get in was mentioned a month ago. they've had one month to get from 19 to 20.

think about that.

Ramage deserved a 5. That's the definition of the penalty. Badger choked that one away.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2010-2011, The next generation.

I was happy with the effort last night after watching the debacle last weekend. UW had 3 or 4 chances where the puck hit someone, trickles past the open net, but no UW player could coral it.

UW changed up the forcheck where the D would cycle down and a wing would swing back.

I don't know if it was a concious effort or just the way the game went, but UW really did the shell thing too much in the 3rd period, and it bit them.

Rammer's penalty was a 5.

Zengerle had some monster shifts where he took his effort to another level along the boards.

The PP was way too perimeter driven. I don't think they had any quality chances on the pp. Just put 2 guys in front and blast it.

Bummer city......

I'm not sure that it was a clear cut 5, but it was definitely a penalty. We could go back and forth on that all day, but it's not the real issue.

A veteran defenseman cannot give the ref the opportunity to blow a call (if you see it that way) with a play like that in that situation. Ram screwed up and it's all on him (in regards to that call). Too bad the CC players don't have those little stop signs on the backs of their jerseys.

Good game. We out shot them and outplayed them for stretches, but couldn't get the clutch goal.

I give CC credit for hanging tough and finishing.

PS What the HELL was Eaves doing waiting to pull the goalie? The puck was in their zone with around 50 seconds to go and he was waiting for us to gain possession before pulling Bennett? Gotta get him out while you can and Eaves pooped himself on that one.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2010-2011, The next generation.

What's with all the gloom & doom? I'm a bit more optimistic...I predict the Badgers will play very well this weekend. CC is a good team, but not as good as the Badgers. CC tends to not play as well late in the season. Badgers win 4-2 tonight and 5-2 tomorrow.

Steve my man, since you live in the Springs did you hear all of us yelling in the street last night after CC scored that third goal?

There isn't discression on that. He hit the kid from behind, it's an automatic 5. I didn't even think it was questionable. It's such a dangerous play the guy almost went in head first. Stupid play.

I still haven't seen a replay, so I'll take your word for it. As I said, it looked to me like Ramage barely touched him and there was serious embellishment. I've certainly been wrong before! That makes it two games in a row in which stupid penalties essentially cost the Badgers a game.

Baggot's point about fatigue is probably a good one. Funny that defense was supposedly the team's strong point at the start of the season, but now lack of defensive depth is hurting them.

I'm with TimA, they played well but totally went into a shell in the third. Baggot is spot-on about fatigue. You could see it in CC's two third period goals. And late in the game.

Rammer's penalty was a 5 if for nothing else stupidity for giving the ref the chance to make the call.

And I completely agree about the PP: both units, especially the #1 unit, needs to be able to call an audible or something and like Timothy said, put 2 guys in front and blast away with the umbrella....for no other reason than to give opposing teams something to think about.

I was ****ed at Eaves for waiting to pull Bennett but Rammer put Eaves and his teammates in a bad spot with his penalty.

Sir, I just watched the play and agree with you. Badger player clearly gave Dineen a shove, with players on skates it does not take much contact or much of a shove to put a player into the boards. Dineen did not take a dive, he was clearly moved off his skates by the push.

I don't think they are streaming the championship since it's live on TV.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2010-2011, The next generation.

a quick point, Zengerle again had a situation with a wide open look in the slot and chose to pass . I really don't understand that. If I'm a d-man that's the book on him, I would never worry about him shooting.

as for Ramage and the penalty I'm not a rules are rules guy. he pushed the CC player towards the boards but it wasn't malicious. he should have been smart enough not to take the penalty in the first place but that's moot now.

fatigue? not sure. If Baggot is correct and Schultz/Gardiner play 35-40mins a game I'd say that's crazy. the should play more like 30mins tops. re-load. that's why Simonelli, Faust are here. rely on them. give them 15-20 mins a game in the early part of the season and this is also a moot point.

speaking of Faust. he played some **** smart hockey last night I thought. good passes. didn't panic. some of the other guys (simo had a rough night) got caught not knowing what to do w/the puck.
