There wasn't an option for mutual destruction so for me it's like picking between getting poked with a sharp stick in both eyes or having my legs amputated. I guess I hate just ever so slightly less the sinners if forced to choose.
 
I have no clue what we're going to see today. A four goal blow-out win for either team, three overtimes, or something in between; each seems equally as likely.

But it's a great day for hockey.
 
I just don't want to see a penalty fest. Free flowing fast skating in with the chips falling where they may.

What they don't tell you when giving you that choice is that once you're blind/legless, then they continue to remove body parts at leisure.

I want tOSU to win, so that I can enjoy one more year of hearing experts like A.J. and Angela pat themselves on the back for winning a national championship at Harvard, and seconds later say that UW set the record by winning its seventh national championship in 2023. The joke isn't as fun if the Badgers own eight.

And Tim just wants to see the red team hook and trip with no regard for whistles.

I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing, but it seems likely the Badgers will see ref Chelsea Rapin for the third game in a row today. She was the shorter, curly hair ref Friday night.

She also worked the game at LaBahn vs St Lawrence - where, frustratingly, she ignored a pair of quite egregious trips of Badgers carrying the puck into the offensive zone. And she was one of the two refs who had the championship game last year; four calls total, three against Ohio St, one against Wisconsin.

So far, different partners for each of those three games.


(adding for completeness sake, in 2022 Ohio State and Duluth had Ludwig and Kaehler for their final. So who knows what we might get today.)

This Gopher fan has no problem rooting for Wisconsin today. It offends me that Ohio State is this good at hockey.

Bradshaw, in my experience, has been once he starts calling things, he calls a lot. I think he's gotten better the last couple years. But let's not get him started. What little I've seen of Pone, she seems good.

Let's Go, Red!
 
Resurface delayed by almost 5 minutes due to the net pegs for one of the goals were frozen into the ice! Their ice crew looked to be in full panic mode while the zambonie's kept circling around. LOL

Bradshaw? Think he's terribly inconsistent. Pone won't call anything.

That happened in labahn a few years ago. It was really comical trying to watch them figure it out.
