You and the Gophers just go ahead and beat each other's brains out next Friday, OK? (Big Grin)
That plan didn't work very well last week.

I got an email from the Alumni Association pitching a "Frozen Four Tour Package". It DOESN'T include transportation to Duluth, and it DOESN'T include game tickets. For $1200, they make hotel reservations for me, and buy me brunch and a cocktail reception.
I think I'll pass.

The Badgers honored 7 seniors this year at the last home game. I believe 3 of them still have a year of eligibility left if my math is right. Have C. Edwards, Kronish, and G. Shirley all confirmed they aren't coming back next yr? I believe in the past few yrs that some undecided players go through senior introductions not having made a decision yet on the extra year.
Britta also has a year left. My general approach has been that if they volunteer info that's fine, but I'm not asking players who are still playing this season what they're doing next season.
Curl did not take part in the Sr. festivities, so I am taking that as she's coming back for sure.
This now puts the count at 14 times in the last 17 tournaments that Wisconsin has made the final four. 14 out of 17.
(2020 not counting either way).
At least you got to play a couple of unfamiliar opponents. For UM, it's been SCSU, UMD, and tOSU all five times, St. Thomas six times, and now here comes UW for six. It would be nice to go to a national tournament and not feel like it is deja vu from October.
I'm waiting for my Dad to get medical procedure done....mega random thoughts post coming....
This is a crazy stat. I suppose MN has a similar stat.
I hope things work out for your dad. Will this impede you going to Duluth?
He had his throat stretched, so I mean you get put under so it's a big deal, but it not from what I understand a "big deal" like a heart condition etc.
I'm only going to Duluth for a WI title game. Friday just would not work with work. I'm also off next Thursday and Friday for a trip to Wichita, plus I blew a half day today so that's too many days off in a sort period of time. I'm of course I'm kinda bummed that I can't go up Friday and then come back Saturday (then go back up Sunday, would be trying to save $$ on hotel and meals). Not only was I wanting to watch UW dispatch the rodents, but I was hoping for a meet and greet with Muzzy and all you tOSU insiders. WINK. But maybe Muzzy won't be sticking around Saturday after playing NE. WINK WINK.
Maybe you won't need to come to Duluth at all? Save your gas money for thinner for the off season doldrums.
"Way too much for us to remember for 60 minutes!"Keys to the game for WI.
1. Stick to stick breakout passes.
2. No crosschecking, checking, boarding, slashing penalties.
3. Don't be passive in N zone transition D.
4. Play strong in front of both nets.
5. Score on the breakaways.
6. D need to stay being aggressive in transition O. (but the F's need to beware to cover)
7. Don't dork around with the puck at the O blueline, get it deep.
Let's go RED!
