Ob and curl with great looks.

Eden is hexed.

Uw gets a dirty goal of course.

What an atrociously officiated game today. Glad we got the win, it will be interesting to see how the teams come out tomorrow.

[robertearle]

Everyone is healthy. Top 3 lines are adjusted, 4th line is the same.

No Buchbinder.

[Timothy A]

Eden is hexed.

That was an easy unhex. Who should be next?

[Timothy A]

No Buchbinder.

She was listed on the line chart that i saw. Makes sense that I recall seeing Helgeswn play a lot. Enright ended ths game playing in Woz's spot, wonder if Woz was injured. A little sad the 4th
line seemed to have troubles dealing with Mankato.

2 totally horrendous no calls against kato. One of those right before they scored. Koch had a long post game chat with one of them.

As did MJ, though "chat" would not be the word I'd use.

I was hoping today’s game would not be so close. There definitely is a need for more improvement if the Badgers are to secure a spot in the NCAA. But there were areas of improvement and some pleasant surprises. To wit:

• LailaE was considerably more involved. She spent a lot less time high on the boards, instead consistently carrying the puck deep into the offensive zone with more speed and aggressiveness than she has been showing. She spent more time around the net on offense including on the only pp the Badgers had when she made a nice pass to Wheeler in front of the net and snapped off her wrist shot from the slot narrowly missing a goal. I hope this is an indication that MJ and she are committed to this as part of her role going forward. As she becomes more comfortable in this capacity, she will be a major headache for opponents,
• The PK was much better. The only one that failed owed an assist to the refs who failed to call any penalty on a mugging of Compher to the side of the MNSt goal which converted a 5 on 4 PP to a 4 on 3 PP – a big change especially when there is no stoppage of play to adjust to the increased advantage. Had the refs done their job, the sides would have been even at 4-4. See above comments related to the quality of the officiating.
• Helgesen filled in very well for the absent Buchbinder. She definitely has matured as a D and continues to be a reliable defender.
• The line memberships were altered considerably. The four base lines consisted of Kurl-OB-Woz, Eden-Compher-SS; Wheeler-Simms-LailaE; and Enright-Picard-GS. However, there was considerable variability as the game progressed (e.g., Enright on a line with Eden, Picard occasionally on a line with different teammates). It seems MJ is experimenting with possible changes in the lines to see if that will help to kick-start the offense.

On a less positive note:

• While some of the line changes showed potential, Compher and SS seemed much less involved than they were earlier in the season. I hope that these two will return to form soon.

On a mixed note:

• Kronish made one sloppy turnover behind her net (something she has done before), but fortunately was rescued by the arrival of a teammate. Otherwise, she played extremely well and kept the Badgers in the game early until they got their skates under them.

May Sunday's game be another, bigger step forward.

[Still Eeyore]

A veritable offensive tsunami!

Scoring is up 200%!

Awesome. I have not seen these 2 refs in a long time. I guess they get hidden in the bowels of the state of MN the rest of the year. Ironically from my angle I didn't think the first call against Kato was good. I saw it as OB just kind of fell on the boards on her own. Maybe it was.

pp needs to shoot more. Somehow they need to scheme up improved shooting lanes. You would think they could just watch film of ous's and use that.

It does bother me that Kato was more in the game than they really should have been. The 1st period was a really even and that was not a good look.
We need to see some 5 goal plus games out of the next 3 or the problems really aren't solved.

Let's gooooooooo RED!

[Timothy A]

Hmmmm comes back with Kronish today. Interesting. No Buchbinder.

[Timothy A]

3rd tier tickets are being sold for fill the bowl. The first 2 tiers must be full. They are going to crush the mens game high attendance. They might double it lol.
