Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

Great to see Miller get the SO Saturday.

Hopefully we'll get info on Nurse, UW needs all the firepower they have to crack the Bemiji D. Johnson is very tight lipped in info like that.

You want to crack Bemidji's D. I suggest you let them gain your zone, skate around for 4-5 minutes and when they are tired, break it out for an odd man rush. Otherwise you are going to skate Nascar style on the outside trying to shoot it through ten legs!! Fear the Beaver!

Unfortunately (but not surprisingly), Nurse's name didn't come up at Coach Johnson's brief press conference today. Guess we'll find out about an hour before game time on Friday night. Honestly, I wonder if those asking the questions are told specifically not to ask about injuries.

With very rare exceptions, you never get any useful information, so you just quit asking. Each coach has his/her own lingo that tells you almost nothing beyond day to day. About the only time you get real news is when the decision has been made that a player will be out for the rest of the season, and they often volunteer that w/o being asked. In my experience, parents are a better source of information on the injury front. They don't subscribe to the same "loose lips sink ships" line of thinking.

I recall with the concussions a few years ago we didn't even know if the players were still alive or not. It's ok for the coach to say to say "they have a concussion, and when I have new news on it, I'll tell you, otherwise please refrain from asking", otherwise I'm sure it gets old to get badgered every week about it. Nurse is a key cog, it's a fair question to ask why she was not in the lineup.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

I did tweet @ AJ Harrison the SI guy for the team about Nurse and he has not responded. I also tweeted @ the Band asking them if they were coming to the games this weekend, but no response.

I have convinced the lovely and fantastic Mrs. Timothy A to grace LaBahn with her beatifying presence Friday night, which is awesome! Eldest son finally has off when the gals are playing, so it will be a 5some for us. That plus the event feel of a night game, plus the matchup, has me more than a little pumped for the series.

One thing that just popped in my head from the last home series was getting to sieve a pulled goalie. That was especially cool. I like how the students did a revised pointing motion to the bench.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

Well, per UW Women's Hockey facebook page, the band will be at both games this weekend which is great to hear. Also, Friday night is Student Night with free admission, pizza, pop and t-shirts. Should be a big crowd. Said it once and I'll say it again, I hope they put the students down on the end where Badgers shoot twice.

This is going to be awesome! I agree on the students being down on the same end where the band is, on the opposing team's bench side.

I don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but last year the ticket takers/security people allowed my daughter to take her ipad in, but for the OSU series they did not, though they were far from definitive in their decision when I protested. My wife usually brings her kindle in too. I am ready for a brewhaha with the security people over these things (after I check the regs). For OSU I just ran Maddy's ipad back to the car and I didn't resist.

Per the LaBahn Arena carry-in policy sheet I received with my season tickets, it lists laptops and videorecorders as prohibited. Oddly, no specific mention of tablets. Interestingly, when on the Fan Advisory Board last year, UW staff asked us directly whether we would bring IPads in if the Wi-Fi was strong enough. Most said no, but they never said they would be banned. I'm surprised they aren't listed on the sheet one way or another. My advice would be to call the athletic department directly and ask just so there is no confusion.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

Wait...there's a carry-in policy at women's hockey games? :D :D
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

Love the band. I did tweet them a thanks. Huge crowd, sellout baby!
Nurse did not play, I heard from a reliable source she is ill and not hurt, and she will play today.
ARD had a couple mega saves.
I expect a nail biter today.

If your source is correct, it will be nice to have Nurse back in the line-up. With her out, there is a ripple effect throughout the 2nd/3rd lines, defensive pairings, PP and PK units.

Hopefully, there will be another big turnout today even though they are going up against Badger football.

I don't want to sound all newsy/reporterish/insiderish....I follow Nicole Haase (aka tristarscoop) on twitter and she put that out on twitter, so it's public knowledge. I am very happy she's coming back, you are correct the ripple effect on the line-up is noticeable.

I'd like to see more shooting off the pass today, get Mowat to move side to side and get it on net before she sets up. The beavs don't really give you a shooting lane to snipe from.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

Great performance today by UW. Nurse was awesome, too bad she hit the post on the shorty chance.

At this point the rest of the wcha schedule is pretty much pre-season for the 4 rodent games.

Nurse was going nuts today. There was the that early goal, plus several instances of her just blowing by Beavers.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2015-2016

Did the officials review the 2nd goal today?
