I think that UM has had a number of games where they looked better on the scoreboard than they looked on the ice. For much of the first period, the reverse was true. After that, the scoreboard was pretty accurate.
In terms of getting better, the Gophers have some matchup problems. Wisconsin forwards were too fast coming around the corner for their D. I think the Badgers D have some issues of their own, but they didn't pay for their sins today.
UM didn't get many breaks. They hit three or four pipes. On UW's second goal, the puck had eyes on the rebound and found the open player. And that PP resulted from a penalty where the contact was very minimal compared to when Shirley crunched Murphy. Maybe it's inadvertent, but the defensive player is responsible for being under control, and she certainly wasn't. At the same time, Murphy's crosscheck was stupid, because the WCHA zebras do what they do, so you better control what you can.
I think they can score on the Red Menace, but I'm not sure how well they can defend them, unless they plan to work a lot harder than we've seen to date. Too bad they didn't get to play that December series, because hadn't Johnson lit into his team yet and got them to skate.
Well, they got to experience the No. 1 ranking for a week. Not thinking they'll see it again this year, although maybe Bucky will go back into hibernation at some point."... And lose, and start again at your beginnings

If MN gets one before the 4th goal, I think it's a different game. UW is trying to build their confidence as you can tell in the post game comments and if MN gets to 1-3, that fragile confidence may have been cracked enough to get MN back in the game.
The quickness on D is something that I noticed for OSU and not for MN. OSU's D were unpucking the UW F's constantly in the D zone last weekend. They were smothering. And in transition OSU was not allowing any space upon entry into their D zone. OSU only gave up 1 real goal to UMD, so that is no fluke.
The reffing was bad as usual. It's just nuts that the consistency is so bad. I think they missed 2 blatant calls both ways and the fist call against MN was WEAK.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Honest to God...How the heck do you give up goals like that. 10 fricken goals over 2 games so far...
Boy, have the Rodents been exposed this weekend...Number 14 with an absolutely horrible giveaway...Number 13 and Number 2 are mis-matched against the Wisconsin forwardsLast edited by FiveHoleFrenzy; 01-16-2021, 03:55 PM.At the outset, we could hang with the dude...
