Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2022-2023

So cool. How many other Badger fans were there?

Good question! My ticket numbers were 0252 and 0253 but no way was there that many folks in the stands. The Box Score says attendance was 227, but don't those numbers include the teams? If I had to guess I would say there were 15-20 obvious Wisconsin fans (like myself, clearly decked out in Badger ware) and probable another 15-20 either subtly dressed or "unmarked" (like Ms UCBadger). I was a bit worried about parking (rightly so) as we got there less than 10 minutes before the game time. I was able to snag the next to last spot on the far side of the small parking lot between the ice rink and the football/lacrosse field.

after they moved to the new forum, I've never been able to get any winks to work.

Me either.

Well, this is the game that we wait for all year. The game to get into the final 4. I just don't an want overtime game. I'm already nervous enough to blow chunks. Let's go RED!!!!!!

Their fourth line is all freshmen so it's probably a three line game for both teams.

Definitely true. May come down to how those 3rd lines play.

Great first period by Wisconsin.

[wiscolorado]

That was a very good first period. I was ready to lambaste Lamantia for that boneheaded penalty she took, and then she put in that absolute snipe. I still don't like the penalty, but on net, she's good lol. Hopefully UW can keep it up! I certainly do not expect Colgate to just roll over.

[Rightnut]

Wisconsin looked good. Snipe of a goal. Colgate’s top players need to engage. Invisible the first period.

3rd line goal for Colgate

Interesting strategy for UW to spend the first intermission drinking paint

I thought is was a D player

Luckily it wore off and the middle of the period was good. No more dumb penalties please.

[wiscolorado]

Coming out of the second still with the lead is probably better than UW deserved. That was an impressive pushback from Colgate; they were much better than in the first. UW has gotta stop with the parade to the penalty box. The PK has been good, but I'd rather not have to see them out there again.

Yes. D play with the 3rd line also.
