Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

I forgot one skater (Natalie Berg..) too. 10 skaters, 2 goalies (assuming that Rigsby would be inactive)

Did you not eliminate Maria Evans who quit when the team added Berg to the Roster?

I was counting Kelly Nash, Derya Kelter, Carla Pentimone, Breann Frykas, Lauren Unser, Anne Dronen, Alev Kelter, Saige Pacholok, Laurel Miller, Nikki Kaasa, Becca Ruegsegger, and now Natalie Berg. Not that it's relevant or matters...

For what it's worth, Evans is still on the website roster. Did she leave the team specifically because of Berg? Do they even play the same position? I know she didn't play a lot, but leaving senior year on a championship-caliber team is interesting.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

Berg is a D and Evans is a F so I doubt it was a personal issue. The girls indicated it was more of a desire by Evans to not sit on the sidelines as a senior and watch, which was highly likely with everyone healty and availible to play. She quit right after the Bemidji Series in October. Not sure why she is still listed on the website.

Definetly a good get by coach Johnson. Its not our fault that so many of Minnesota's best HS players choose to play their college hockey at the UW. ;)

While Maria didn't play often, when the 4th line got some time she gave it her all on the ice. Kinda disappointed to find out this happened, I liked Ms Evans, best of luck to her going pro in something other than sports.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

Definetly a good weekend for the ladies at the Easton Holiday Showcase. They beat #10 Northeastern 7-2 and they beat #4/5 Mercyhurst 7-4. Also, they took back the #1 spot in the rankings. So far the Badger women are having a great season.

Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

A very good story on Knight, which was on the front page of the State Journal sports page. Ideally, this weekend will see a sweep of the Huskies and a split between UMD/Minnesota. Granted, I don't see the Badgers giving up an 11-point conference lead...but I'd like to see them pull even further away.

Wonder if they'll split the starts with Rigsby and Ruegsegger?

Would you settle for Badger and Gopher sweeps? I don't see how we can catch you, but the Bulldogs still seem to think that they can.

Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

I suppose with a series at Duluth looming, I could go for a Gopher sweep. However, those words are just hard to say.
 
Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

Definitely pulling for a Gopher sweep:

1) Gain one point in the standings over 2nd place team
2) Duluth has an easier schedule the rest of the way
3) Sorry, but UM doesn't have the horses this year come playoff time.

I still want the rodents to lose. Even when it would benefit the Badgers, I still have a VERY difficult time rooting for the Gophers.
 
Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

For women's hockey, I give the gophers a pass -- they're so much more likable than a certain other team in the conference.
 
Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

Re: Minnesota/Wisconsin photos from Saturday, November 6

The perfect outcome in game 1 in Minneapolis to increase that previously insurmountable lead in the standings. ;)
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

Has Madison Packer changed lines? Dang, she's been productive as of late. Now, we just need that magic 8th double digit goal scorer like we had in all three championship years (yes, I'm prematurely chalking up 10+ goals for MP and yes, I realize it's arbitrary.) Would like to see Deluce get going.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

Badgers get out early and often and keep the foot on the pedal throughout the game. Listened to the game on the radio and it sounded like they were hounding the Husky net all night. Knight with a hat trick and 5 points overall as she continues her push for Patty Kaz.

Yeah, the ideal situation with Minnesota getting the SO win over UMD to extend the conference lead to 12 points. Still not sure I want a Gopher sweep as it would be an awfully P.O.'d Bulldog team hosting the Badgers next weekend.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

Excuse me, a 13-point lead after last night. Not to pile on the issues that St. Cloud is having, but they've scored 20 goals all year. Wisconsin had 10 last night. How does that happen to a program that is located in Minnesota and has been around awhile?

There won't be a Gopher sweep...but I hope the Bullmutts are on a one game losing streak to start the series with UW in Duluth.

UMD opens their new rink next weekend. You'll be getting their best effort no matter what happens today (and after last night, a UM sweep is no longer possible.) If I were the Wisconsin braintrust, I'd want to see the best the Bulldogs have to offer, because Wisconsin didn't do that well against them in Madison. Based on what I've seen of the two teams, UW should be the stronger squad, but UMD's ability to shut down the Badger offense last time makes one wonder.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers '10-'11

You're right about the sweep. I forgot about the point distribution with ties/shoot-outs. I just remember coming out of a couple of Badger shoot-out losses and it always felt as bad as a regulation loss.

No doubt that Miller will have the Bulldogs cranked up next week regardless of today's result. UMD played well here in Madison and would have had the sweep if not for a late game meltdown. The thing about the Big Three in the WCHA is that playing on the road doesn't really seem to bother any of those teams.
