Wisconsin Badgers 2020-2021

There is St Cloud radio of the game(s) http://975radiox.com/main/

And they just told me about this, which I had not heard: Last weekend St Cloud and Bemidji went to a shoot-out, but the refs screwed it up and stopped it after only two rounds. So afterward they decided to split the 3rd standings point between the two teams, St Cloud now has 1.5 standings point and Bemidji has 6.5 points. As if the standings were messed up enough!

It's criminal that UW does not have a regular away hockey radio broadcast. I love a great hockey broadcast and Reid is the MAN.

The ref's screwed up the shootout?!?! Imagine if that happened at LaBahn. The fans would go crazy. I can't believe the coaches didn't or weren't able to explain to the ref's how it was supposed to work. That's criminal as well.

They apparently thought it was sudden death, not three rounds. Nobody scored first round, one team had a 1-0 lead after the second round. But yes, how could the coaches not manage to correct the mistake.

If anybody is relying on the stats windows, they have 'hung up' for some reason. Past halftime, Wisconsin is up 4-0.

Five. Get yourself some ice cream...

It looks like the Sinners adjusted to the Big Ice...Either that or the Coach did some jaw-jacking after the first period. 21 shots so far and 4 goals...WisconSIN leads 5-0 late in the 2nd period.

Make it 6-0 and 23 shots on goal for the period. Should have been 7-0 but the crossbar saved the puck in the last minute.

SCSU keeping close in the 3rd...Only gving up 3 so far with about half the period to go. 9-0

Oppps make it double digits...Seeing eye dog goal on the PP makes it 10-0. Laughable how bad SCSU's play has become. They have given up 10 goals on 42 shots...

Goes final...10 zip. 49 shots on goal.

Last weekend St Cloud and Bemidji went to a shoot-out, but the refs screwed it up and stopped it after only two rounds. So afterward they decided to split the 3rd standings point between the two teams, St Cloud now has 1.5 standings point and Bemidji has 6.5 points.

So the league steps in and makes it even less fair. One team has a 1-0 edge in a shootout with only one round to go. I bet that statistically, such a team has gone on to win a very large percentage of the time in women's NCAA, but the league makes a decision that assumes that the trailing team would have scored in round three while holding the other team scoreless. How is that an improvement?

They apparently thought it was sudden death, not three rounds. Nobody scored first round, one team had a 1-0 lead after the second round. But yes, how could the coaches not manage to correct the mistake.

I'm not sure how the coaches are even supposed to know what the rule is. Last year when the Badgers tied the Gophers in Minneapolis, the two teams played scoreless OTs both 5-on-5 and 3-on-3. When Amy Potomak scored in round two of the S.O., they decided that was enough with UM up 1-0. So if now the rule is different because the 5-on-5 portion is gone, I wonder how many people around the WCHA even knew it had been changed.

Double hatties and 2 scoops of ice cream! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSS!!!!!!

Great to see the top line all juiced up, they need to produce in the big moments and this is a great confidence booster, as if last weekend wasn't enough.

No let down today. Run them back into the dog house.

Not happening so far today...Cloudytown leads 2-1 with about 7 and a half minutes to go in the 2nd period.

Late in the 2nd Wisconsin scores to tie it. Nice goal by Shirley.

End of the second period...2-2.

I was surprised yesterday when Polusny didn't get the start. She's plenty good enough to 'steal' one. I'm listening to St Cloud student radio, and they have UW with at least two shots hitting the pipes.

[robertearle]

As every hockey announcer will say, one way or another, no matter the score: The next goal is HUGE!!

Adding:
The St Cloud radio guy late in the period said "I think we'll only see top two lines from here on in", and i thought "No, UW would have no problem sending the third line out in this situation". And third line gets the game winner.

Gotta feel for St Cloud playing that well, only to get beat so late in the third, only 1:17 remain.

Ugly turnover behind the Huskies net results in the winning Badger goal. Empty netter makes it 4-2 Wisconsin.

You and I must be some of the very few that have a Flohockey subscription on this board. SCSU played much better in this game so good on them to show up after getting shelled last night but ultimately Wisconsin's depth and speed made the difference today. Thought it might get to overtime but I think SCSU would have had trouble with that.

But even just going to OT would have cost Wisconsin a 'standings point' and reduced their 'percentage' of points won. A 3-vs-3 win gets a team two points, not three (and a 3-vs-3 loss gets you one point.)

It's actually great to hear St. Cloud had a better game yesterday, but that game had the same kind of nerves that a person would have who lived in a mobile home during a tornado warning. Luckily it missed us. A loss yesterday would have been a really big bummer says Capt. Obvious. Every game is a building block to the end of the year tournament so to play another tight game helps towards that.
