BS penalty against Picard but the Badgers score a shorty and played a better period overall.

The refs were the same pair who did last year's national championship game, and I think the 2023 game as well.

They really didn't call too bad a game other than that, which was simply a random collision.

Didn’t see Maggie Scannell on the ice after drawing a penalty and going down on the ice/into the boards. Also didn’t see her in the handshake line. Hope she is ok.

BS penalty against Picard...

While holding her stick vertically, she cross-checked her to the grill. Players are responsible for their stick at all times. You can dispute the severity, but ...

No Scannell in the lineup today.

Added: Per TM: "Maggie Scannell is out of the Badgers lineup and day to day with an upper-body injury."

They have blown play dead early three times in the first 15 minutes when the puck was very not covered by the BC goalie. Very frustrating officiating.

Oddly, different refs than yesterday.

What's the rule on DQ's? On the Friday ESPN broadcast they said she had to sit Saturday. Looked like she showed up in the Saturday's box score with an assist.

The ESPN broadcast missed the subtle difference between a game misconduct and a game disqualification. A game misconduct is for that game only, a game disqualification adds another game to the suspension. Picard got a game misconduct so she was allowed to play in the next game.

Well, the warmup games are over, and the seemingly annual obligatory injury has occurred. The more serious business begins with UMD next weekend followed by MN in Minneapolis the week after. O’Brien, Simms, Edwards, Eden, and Harvey appear to be in form. Gorbatenko looks like she has taken a big step forward and the other returnees seem ready as well with the return of Enright an added boost. The rookies showed flashes that suggest they soon will provide added punch. The one concern is the exact nature of Scannell’s injury and the prospects for her recovery.

But the next two weeks will clarify where the Badgers stand and their prospects for the season ahead. I am looking forward to the outcome - and a speedy recovery by Scannell.

Very enjoyable beating down the once proud Eagles.

Gorbatenko looked really good playing C on the 3rd line after Picard was erroneously tossed from the game.

Yeah UMD is battle tested. The key will be how UW reacts to having to defend a more sustained attack. They were looking not so good in game one with BC on a few occasions. I did not see game 2 to comment on if they improved or not.

So it looks like we need to cross our fingers and hope that CHL players will be allowed to play in the NCAA?
