Ok thanks, I see a second assist added to the ENG on Saturday.

Great way to open conference play with a sweep of the Bulldogs, on the road no less. If I'm reading it right, after only 4 games, 12 different players have scored goals. One of those isn't Annie Pankowski, but she leads the team in assists. Early returns seem to say that this is easily the most offensively balanced team since 2011-2012.
Looks like they have rotated players on the 4th line so everybody seems to be getting playing time each weekend. One notable exception is that Maddie Rolfes hasn't played yet this year. I'm curious as to why, but the athletic department is historically quiet on player availability.
Ohio State should prove to be an entertaining opening home series. Hopefully there will be good crowds, but it's a pain in the a-- that both games are literally scheduled at the same time as the volleyball team. When those programs are two of the top team sports for the UW, all efforts should be made so they aren't competing against each other for attendance. Unfortunately, I have to assume that the band will be at the volleyball matches and they won't bother sending anyone over to LaBahn for either game. I hope that I'm proven wrong.
Rolfes is hurt
What is the timeline on Rolfes' return?
Mega pumped for the home opening series before that battle royal.
I am very inpressed with the scoring from so many different players (17 players with points after 4 games), but I am a little bummed Wellhausen and Pankowski have not lit the lamp yet (yeah I'm getting greedy I know).

Was there video of the UW-UMD games?
UW really dominated all 6 periods on even strength. OSU took the 4 pp's on the 3rd period Friday to narrow sog, otherwise Friday's sog for OSU would have looked like today's. Clark looked the best out of all the Fr. forwards, very very fast. The fr seem to be all seem to be having issues with figuring out just how physical they can be. Hopefully they are getting it figured out quickly, they won't want to be giving the rodents to many cheap pp's.
ARD struggled with handing the puck behind the net, more so Friday than today, though that one popped to the front of the goal today, but I missed how that happened. Her retro brown leather pads and wood stick are a little hard to get used to, I must say I prefer the red and white pads, but as long as she's happy. I don't remember her bring so incredibly cool in the net, she just makes it look so effortless out there. The D played very well in front of her as well, OSU only had 2-3 great chances all weekend.
Great to see Rolfes in the lineup, it's good to get the best players available to play for next weekend.
I was awesome getting that 3rd goal with .5 left on the clock.
Too bad Ammerman didn't score on that play where she grabbed the puck at the penalty box door as she left, that would have been the bomb popping 1 there.
ARD's pads are awesome.
