Cassidy Anderson makes the Huskies back to back HE Champions......erasing the end of the 3rd period antics!

Sorry TTT....I’m sure you’re in the crowd at Providence, down hearted once again.....but the Eagles are in the mix! We all know where the Wildcats are!

I'm not a fan of that interference call...

That particular one was pretty iffy, given the several much more blatant ones they've let the Badgers get away with.

Congrats Clarkson women on your 3rd ECAC tournament championship in a row! And surely a lock for home ice in the NCAA quarterfinals.

I might feel bad for that D-man but I didn’t mind the outcome

I imagine not, but it seemed fine to me.

I remember not liking a call made in a tied 2-2 overtime game at LaBahn that resulted in a goal. So it happens.

Frankly, I don't know if I really want MN to make a full come back, but just want them to play hard. The team would benefit from a lesson from the early play.

Steffes should have been gone for the game on that hit.

Re: The Playoff Scoreboard

Now that call is a tough one due to just how close the game is. But it was extremely dangerous...so you kind of have to call it.

Having said that...yes...

Steffes should have been gone for the game on that hit.

It's like a reverse of last year...Empty net goal makes it 3-1 Wisconsin wins.

Re: The Playoff Scoreboard

Ah well. I thought it was a frustrating yet great game. #2 seed. I'm hoping the team learns what should be a very valuable lesson. You play to not lose. You often will.

I bet it looked worse live than on "TV". She really didn't check as much as hold, If fact, "holding' was the call. Try to find it on video and see if you don't change your mind. Definitely a 2, but not a 5.

Watched it on "TV" myself. I have little doubt that it would have been 5 in the first period of a regular season game.

Having said that, the timing of any penalty in the last couple minutes of a close game is tough - whichever way it goes.

The rodent jumped up and got both her skates off the ice at the same time, then fell on her butt. That's a 4.8 for the diving team.

The Steffen penalty the rodent had awfully weak legs on that one. I didn't think Steffen was that strong.

If you didn't know better, either one of those comments by themself might have a chance of being correct. Together they show an unfortunately high (that is to say neck) position in manure.

While my head is still above the pile I will say that I get the call on Steffen. The other call no way.

Even if true, this is irrelevant to the call that was made, which was interference. Once the attacking player chips the puck and moves to go around the defender, it is illegal to move laterally to impede their progress. Whether they leave their skates or the defender knocks them down doesn't matter; it's the obstruction that is the penalty. Wisconsin fans can be forgiven for having no idea what the interference rule is, though, because committing it and not getting called is one of the Badgers' core competencies.

As I said, I thought the one that was called was borderline, but there were plenty of examples where a Badger was clearly guilty without a call, so I don't feel any sympathy for them.

Let's just say that, given your stated beliefs about Abby Roque, I don't trust your judgment on this.

One of the truest things you have said on this site. It is foundational to their game.
