Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

Have they turned the corner?

Too late for that. I listened to the radio and Perrin side the D play was awful Friday night. Saturday was fortunate in that UW had nearly an entire period of power play. If ASU doesn't fall apart like that it's a different game. Kinda like the Merrimack win, everyone was all on top of the world, but I watched the game and UW did not play well that game. If they sweep OSU, let's talk.

It was great to hear the Hammer played very well. It's sad Berry is probably done for the season, a tough way for a Sr to end his career. With Zimmer playing so well, the wondering in my mind goes to why didn't the staff decide to play him more earlier this year and even last year? That one shot from the end line was sick.

WTH happened??? The Badgers wake up when ASU comes to town??? Either the Badgers are under-rated or ASU is over-rated or some of both. Anyway, as much as I hate saying it, good sweep by your team. Good luck in the tourney, will all the games and help the Devils PWR!

I would think along the lines of ASU is a bit over-rated, UW's record in the B7 sucks. Bad.

Guys… the CHN probably matrix still has some non-zero chances of getting an at large bid.

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ra...lityMatrix.php

Of course, the red indicator shows when they’d be ineligible for an at large bid due to having a sub-.500 record.

The odds are so small, that I can’t even tell how much overlap there is in the two figures.

It should be noted: they need to win 5 games in a row (sweep @OSU, sweep first round of the BTHC playoffs and win semis) in regulation or <5 minutes of OT, then lose the B1G title game in >5 minutes of OT just to have a .500 even record with no autobid.

So your telling me there's a chance........Yeah!

Despite the tweet, I’m going to guess the lack of press boxes probably kills anything at the old MECCA.

So what the hell is wrong with Kohl Center?

Besides that, **** Milwaukee. They dont care about hockey. Proof of that is kicking the Admirals to the curb and the Admirals only getting about 5000 at an AHL game.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

I mean, I live here and literally the only reason I would go to an Admirals game is for the kids.

The whole “we don’t play meaningful games and will blast your ears with canned music all the time SO MAKE SOME NOIIIIIIIIISE!!!” kind of scene doesn’t interest me. Also explains why I rarely go to the Kohl Center anymore.

Their attendance is fine. Roughly the average for an AHL team.

Also what’s wrong with the Kohl Center is the whole moratorium on campus sites for regionals.

I didnt know about that moratorium. I think it's rediculous. That's where most of the fans are.

Everybody knows this, but schools with small arenas that couldn’t host if they could don’t want the “unfair advantage”, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Allegedly. I’m just making educated guesses here)

So Watts are the thoughts about this weekend? Was last weekend just a mirage? At least the games are on BTN regular, or is it BTN plus?

Maybe the program should bring the boys back every weekend at home. I was ready to lace 'em up myself after watching the veterans and their discussions.

Both games are on regular BTN with the game times at 6:00 Friday and 8:00 Saturday Eastern time zone.
I can say for OSU's part regardless where you guys are in the standings you won't be taken lightly and with a potential title on the line and a tournament bye riding on this weekend they will most likely trying to put the games away quickly.
Now you guys have some very good talent on your team so I won't sell you short but it will probably be the usual factors on who wins - least mistakes, officiating (good calls, bad calls, non calls), and plain old puck luck.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

If the Gophers do take care of business (probably like a 45% chance of a sweep realistically), it would be nice if you got a win on Friday instead of having to watch your game after ours on Saturday before knowing the conference result.
