Culvers Camp Randall Hockey Classic: Michigan vs UW.. Brrrrrrrr!

I was hoping for Bennett to get the start. He needs the confidence boost right now and it would save Goody's legs for more important conference games.

Eaves can say what he wants about a rotation, but Goody has been the better goalie and he's earned this start. I don't believe that his legs will be an issue down the stretch.

This could end up being an important game in the PWR if Michigan finishes strong.

I just came up with an interesting question. Will this "gimmick game" (which I support) be considered a Home game for Wisconsin in terms of the PWR or at a neutral site since it isn't at your actual rink?

One would think it is a Home game since it is on Buckys campus but I can see the argument that it isn't in your home arena...

Does not matter since they eliminated the quality non-conference bonus.

Got a live blog going at the 60 minutes blog.

I'm not going to be providing real time updates since most of you are at the game, and if your not, I'm sure your watching it on TV. But I figured I'd open this up for anyone who wanted to talk about the game.

1-1 After the second period.

Murray with the UW goal.
Vaughn with the Michigan goal.

Sweet third period officiating. Nice dive on the first call, what slash on the second call?, no Geoffrion goalie interference? The stuff the WCHA lets go, and the stuff it calls.

It wasn't diving, and it was a slash.

And I really didn't care who won this game.

It was a dive, and it was a slash. As were 15 other opportunities in the game where they just decided to let the kids play.

I always hate to see the officials hand out 3 penalties to one team in the final few minutes of a close game while handing out 0 penalties to the other team. Especially when the officials had set a "let 'em play" precedent up to that point.
 
Re: Culvers Camp Randall Hockey Classic: Michigan vs UW.. Brrrrrrrr!

Bad officiating is always the whine from the losing team in non-conference play. The officials from the WCHA are no better or worse than Shegos from the CCHA when UW or U-Mn play at U-Mi or MSU.
I'm sure I could go back and find numerous calls to whine about if I looked at the November game at Yost, but I have better things to do in life.
Get over it.

You obviously can't come up with a better defense. Shegos does in fact suck, but at least he's consistently horrible throughout the game.

Get over it.

Get over yourself.

Yes Pucky, I'm sure you really do have better things to do in life than whine about the refs. I'm sure, during a big game, you would never complain about things you couldn't control. Like on the score updates thread during tonight's game for instance:

Re: Mich vs. Wisc @ Camp Randall
Where did the Big10 network get these announcers? It sounds like a Red Berensen love fest.
I've heard Doug Woog be more neutral.

Oh but wait, it gets even better....

The color man is Rob Andringa who is our regular TV color man...

I just have to say... congratulations man. Lots of hockey fans whine about the refs, but it takes real genius to whine about one's own announcing crew being biased towards the other team. You do, truly, lead a more fulfilling life then the rest of us mere mortals.

Wrong. I do agree there were some missed calls throughout the game (that 2 min shoulda been a CFB, for example) but those two calls I'll stand by. I did think it was a dive at first, until I saw the replay. He got his stick in there pretty good on that one.
