And scoring, two goals in the first 2 1/2 minutes, now 3-1.Great start to the 2nd period, UW is flying and dominating.
Great start to the 2nd period, UW is flying and dominating.
5 goal outburst by UW in the 2nd. 5-1 after 2. UW played much better that period. Providence seems to be able to foil UW's breakout pretty well, but the puck was not in UW's end very much. ARD does have at least 3 huge saves in the game, UW is a little porous on the initial rush and back check.
Badgers rolling 4 lines up front?
Badgers rolling 4 lines up front?
Yes. Sowchuk has had a couple quality chances, and 4th line really showing up, with goals from Johnson and Harding.
Too bad Sowchuk did not convert on the breakaway, ARD would have got an assist.
8-1 Badger win. Pankowski with the hat trick and first career goals for Cogan and Shaver. Frankly, couldn't have hoped for a much better season opening series.
Frankly, I would have hoped for a much more challenging season opening series. This was a no-contest type of series from the moment it got confirmed on the schedule. I'm sure it was an enjoyable trip to Cali so maybe it wasn't a total waste of time.
