Ohio State @ Wisconsin 1/11 - 1/12

Congrats on the Friday win.

That said, the fact that the score made you smile isn't exactly a news flash.:p Anything more substantive to share?

It was late......Here's a full game recap. (for the record, we were sitting behind the goal, which put Rigsby in front of us for the frist and third periods, not a great spot to watch, but the kids like it down there, so I don't have a great perspective on some of the goals.) OSO dominated the first period in thanks to 3 pp's that more than anything didn't allow UW to get any flow going. They did a real nice job with puck posession, it seemed like UW was chasing the puck the whole period. OSU didn't end up with a ton of great chances, however, but they did outshoot UW 9-3. The second period was more even, UW ended up evening up the shots on goal by the end of the period and scored on a scrum in front of the net. I will note the refereeing was horrific, there was probably 4 legit calls that could have gone against OSU but were not called, pretty ridiculous after they get 3 pps in the first. The 3rd period had more bad refereeing in OSU's favor to start, but Decker chipped the puck around the d at the point and blazed down the ice for a sh goal. OSU scored on a tight angled back door rebound that just caught the goal inside the far post as the OSU skater was going away from the goal, a nice shot. UW's 3rd goal was also a sh, Kelter scored on off some furious action in OSU's end. Finally a UW player got tackled/tripped and it was so blatant it had to be called, but UW did note convert. UW did convert after a slash call later on, I do not recall the circumstances of the goal, other than it was a ppg. UW ended up outshooting OSU 32-24 after being outshot 9-3 in the 1st, which is indicative of UW playing stronger as the game went on. UW outshot OSU @ even strength 29-16. The obvious tipping point was UW's 2 sh goals and not allowing OSU a ppg in the 3rd when the game was hanging in the balance. We were so hoping OSU would pull the sieve and let UW get a 5th goal so we could get free ice cream, but, alas, they didn't.

Usually when I read this I think that it is just a typical view of a homer, but given Storey was one of your refs, you're probably right.

Much appreciated. Sounds very much like deja vu -- from the Friday game at the Schott. Since we're going with the deja vu thing, would it be OK if we reprise the Saturday game at the Schott as well?:p;)

Well, goalies aren't generally pulled when the deficit is three. And when head-to-head goal differential is an important standings tiebreaker, there's a pretty strong disincentive at work. Don't blame you for wishing and hoping, however. And if the "free ice cream" is really custard from Culver's, outright craving would be in order...

I don't think anyone was seriously thinking the Buckeyes would pull their goalie down 4-1. Though the 3rd/4th lines for Wisconsin were going hard for that last goal at the end. It is indeed Culvers that gives out the free custard for 5 goals.

It's unusual, but I have seen it done. When a playoff loss would end the season, so there's literally nothing to lose, the tactic is at least rational. But be assured that I knew that Timothy A was being playful, even if my first reply left that unclear.

Gotta get that promotion here. There are at least two Culver's locations in the Columbus area, and their stuff is top notch.

Thanks to both you and Timothy A for the replies. Congrats on the sweep. Although we're obviously disappointed with the results on this end, it sounds like they were fine games. Here's to hoping we meet again in the post-season.
 
Re: Ohio State @ Wisconsin 1/11 - 1/12

While probably not the 2,000 announced, it was a surprisingly nice-sized crowd last night all things considered. The game itself wasn't a thing a beauty. Things just seemed a little chippy all night and the refs just didn't seem what to do about it.

By the midway point of the game, Wisconsin lost Madison Packer due to injury (looked to be upper body) and Courtney Burke due to ejection. If not for Alev Kelter's nice goal on a hard rush to the net, the game was definitely there for Ohio State. When Decker went off the ice late in the game on matching penalties, the Buckeyes controlled the play and needed Rigsby to make several big saves to preserve the win.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if these two teams play in the WCHA semis. Of course, both teams have some work to do to maintain those 2/3 slots in the WCHA standings.

Late matching penalty on Decker? Deja vu all over again. Except that in this case the Badgers were trying to protect a lead rather than mount a comeback. Obviously it worked out better for the Badgers this time around.

Strongly agreed on both counts, particularly that 2nd one.;)

Wisconsin caught a major break that after Decker was called for a penalty with about 5 minutes left, McKinnon took an untimely roughing/retaliation penalty. Even with Rigsby playing well, they would have had a tough time killing that penalty without Decker, Packer and Burke available. As it was, the 4-on-4 play was tilted heavily for Ohio State and felt like a power play.
 
Re: Ohio State @ Wisconsin 1/11 - 1/12

I was at both games and some of the worst officiating I have seen all year:eek: and that's pretty hard since the LICK's were not there!!:p Also it is a team sport and wisconsin has a very deep defence with Brickner,Jaminski,Katrena,Kelter,Berg and all the rest!! We out shot them first period and after the BS call checking from behind on Burke we held them off for 4 minutes until a shot got pushed out the back door to a open Iowa player for there score. This team is coming around quite well and am looking forward to the WCHA playoff's when they will be at there best:D

Pretty good result with two wins while playing the Hawkeyes and Buckeyes simultaneously! :p ;)

Typical Wisconsin fan! not the game I saw but to each their own my personal favorite was when the Wisconsin fans cheered "GO RED"! we really enjoyed and joined in with this cheer as we were wearing RED hahahhahahaha humor I am sure wasted on blinder wearing badger faithful. Kelter was the difference maker in my opinion her intensity was hard to handle each time she took the ice. On the weekend the Wi D gave up atleast 7 break a ways that the Buckeyes were unable to finish.
 
Re: Ohio State @ Wisconsin 1/11 - 1/12

Tough weekend for the Buckeyes. Would have been nice to get a split and stay in second place. With St. Cloud coming into our place next weekend, I am sure the kids will bounce back. After Saturday's game they are having a postgame skate.

The thought crossed my mind about cheering "Let's go red!" with OSU in a practically all red uniform, but then I thought "there won't be any OSU fans here anyway" and we let her rip. Isn't OSU's red technically not red, but called scarlet anyway?
