To the Buckeye faithful, congratulations! You have an exciting team and hats off to you for knocking off the #1 Badgers. It has been a great season for your team. Enjoy the ride.

...also not a fan of people who take shots at players.

Geez! I didn't say she cheats on her taxes, or lies to her mother, or whatever. I said she gives up lots of rebounds. Because in the games I ''ve seen her play, she has given up a ton of rebounds. If that is "taking a shot", then I guess I've seen a bunch of Gopher fans taking a bunch of shots at a number of Gopher defense players this year.

She played very well today, and logged a win against a team she had yet to beat. Good for her.

I know OSU fans think she's the greatest, but I've never been all that impressed with Sauve; she gives up tons of rebounds.

I agree with you. She was bad the first game in Madison this year.

Too bad my prediction of a UW loss was correct. Hopefully it does end up splitsville.

Now seems as good a time as any to inform you all that I'll be doing color commentary for both semifinal games of the Women's Beanpot on ESPN3 this Tuesday and I'm wicked excited about it.

That is cool! Best of luck to you

1-0 final.

I know OSU fans think she's the greatest, but I've never been all that impressed with Sauve; she gives up tons of rebounds. Today she did a much better than usual job of controlling her rebounds. What there were (including one just laying there on the ice with about ten seconds to play) the Badgers couldn't knock home.

The lone goal was a sort-of slow motion breakaway, more-or-less off the 2nd period opening faceoff. The puck pin-balled around some, squirted loose to OSU, the lone Badger defender tripped as she tried to start backing up, and it was one-on-one. Blocker side, upper 90. (best I could tell from the video, anyway.)

Oh, well.

Some Wisconsin fans said the same thing about Leveille and they had a point about the rebounds, Although Leveille, head to head, outperformed Dustbin (In fairness, Dustbin usually had the flu ).

We will see how it plays out for Sauve as the postseason begins. She has the capability of carrying her team if they need that.

As I recall, there were others that doubted Leveille as well. And sure, rebounds might be a legit thing to comment on, but the main thing is keeping the puck out of the net and winning games. Considering her Gopher career as a whole, to me Leveille easily gets an 'A'.

Indeed.

I get the frustration for Wisconsin fans. It's the same feeling Gopher fans had to go through watching Bemidji be a thorn in the side of some powerhouse Gopher teams.

Have fun!

I remember back in 2006 I was watching the men's semi-final on ESPN, and Gary Thorne was doing the play-by-play, Wisconsin vs Maine. Later on in the game, into the third period, Thorne was doing an interview with Mark Johnson, because a couple weeks before the UW women had won their first championship. And during that interview Johnson made some sort of reference to Thorne having graduated from Maine. Up until that point, I had not had the *slightest* inclining that the guy doing the play-by-play had attended one of the schools playing. Not a hint.

Aim for that. I don't know how; I would be a miserable failure at it. But aim for that. Good luck.

My suggestion would be to listen to a recording of A.J. Mleczko doing color, and then try not to emulate her in any way. E.g., avoid trying to express five different thoughts in the same sentence and not finishing any of them. So if that means you usually talk fast when you're either excited or speaking in front of a group, force yourself to slow down.

Given your audience is the fan base of all four teams, as robertearle says, the best thing to do is to strive for neutrality. If you had the opportunity to know the players for BU, you'd like them. Treat them as future friends that you haven't met yet.

I don't think Sauve has been particularly healthy this season. She wasn't playing great when the Buckeyes played in Minneapolis. We have seen her play very well, certainly better than anything I've ever seen from the current Wisconsin goaltender, who admittedly still has most of her career in front of her.

As for Lev', she hung a lot of losses on the Badgers, so I don't expect their fans to be able to speak objectively about her. I'm not saying she was quite at the level of Noora, but she was every bit as competitive. Both were willing to battle to the last instant to keep the puck out of the net.

Yeah, I'll have to make an effort to do that. Hopefully I can do it haha

My #1 goal is going to be to memorize how to correctly pronounce every player's name. Every time I watch a game and someone says "Caitlin Lonergan" or something I want to throw my laptop... so I feel like I have an opportunity to make a difference in the world lol

My suggestion would be to listen to a recording of A.J. Mleczko doing color, and then try not to emulate her in any way.

Muzzerall didn't play the backend of her 'D' enough, played too few forward lines, and should have pulled the darn goalie.....

What do you think now? Ohio was outplayed in 5 of the 6 periods and Sauve was THE reason they won both games. Minus the empty netter, Ohio only scored 3 goals in 2 games yet won both. Unlike ARD, Sauve has to play well for the team to win as Ohio is a 1 line team. I dont think ARD had to win games by herself weekend in and weekend out unlike Sauve. Lets see what happens in the playoffs but I see another All-American for Sauve.

Quick question. Its been a few years since Wisconsin has been shutout but when is the last time they scored a total of 1 goal in a weekend series?

Last year in St Louis.

Congrats to the Buckeyes. Quite the accomplishment. To the Buckeyes fans, it can be quite painful awaking a sleeping badger.

What do I think now? I think when I give my opinion, I get criticized. I think if I don't give my opinion. I'll be criticized. I think if I say anything other than "Sauve is the greatest goalie I've ever seen", I'll get criticized.

(I also think I never said a word comparing Sauve to ARD in any way at all.)

I can't tell if you already know the answer, and are just trolling. or not. I'll assume not: last year, the NCAA Final Four.

robertearle, that wan't really a criticism of your post. I think it was more of a sideways slam at the Buckeyes

I thought at least Iafallo was a pretty good player, too.

Re: 2017-2018 D1 Women's Hockey Scores

Wisconsin also scored a single goal in its final regular-season series last year. The year before, the Badgers were shutout for the weekend in Grand Forks.

Re: 2017-2018 D1 Women's Hockey Scores

BU over Harvard 3-2 in the first semi-final of the Beanpot. Kinda tough to watch these two teams go at it. Could we at least have gotten someone to announce it with a Midwest accent?

Between games right now.

You did very well!

But I was hoping for some graphs or charts, maybe a powerpoint presentation during intermission; KRACH vs RPI, or some such. What gives?

(The video production is outstanding. Kudos to the camera guy who got the replay of the shot going through he teammate's legs into the goal.)

Why thank you! Yeah, that replay I'm particular was a beauty.

That was fun!! Looking forward to calling BC now
