When was the last time Wisconsin lost a game at Labahn. Seems like it's been awhile.

Gophers won 2-0 on 12/3/16. Wisconsin had not lost a game at home since then until today although UMD tied them on 2/11/17.
North Dakota sandwiched wins to end a much longer Gopher streak a few years ago. The fans at Ridder gave the Gopher players one of the loudest cheers ever at the end of that game though. Did the Wisconsin fans do the same today?

I hope you caught a 52" musky to make up for the throttling that occured

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
The Badgers unbeaten streak at LaBahn was at 35 before today's loss. There was no special recognition by the fans, other than the usual cheers around the stick salute, but I don't know how many people even knew it had been 35 straight without a loss at home. (I'm not even sure if that would be a team record?)
I believe the streak you are talking about that was ended by North Dakota was the Gopher's consecutive game winning streak - both home and away - that included the perfect season, right? That's kind of apples and oranges to a home winning streak where there have been several road/playoff losses in the middle.

The Huskies were throttled, 6-2 by those nasty Badgers. It's more likely he caught a 52" catfish than musky in Wisconsin.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
Yes, but even so 35 games without a loss at home is a very impressive accomplishment and I'm surprised if most of the Badger fans did not know about it. And indeed the 62 game winning streak received a lot of attention not only in Minnesota but nationally as well and it was just nice to see the Gopher fans show their appreciation to the players when the streak finally ended. It's too bad if as you say that vocal appreciation did not happen at LaBahn today.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
Thanks, that would have been a personal best (we have caught a 47 & 48 on the Madison Chain the last 3 years for record @ bluffrinkrat). I did manage a nice 33" pike, which was a lot of fun. The weather was just perfect too, what a great day outside.
We all know a throttling wasn't going to occur, the rodents are a lot better personal-wise than they were last year, sometimes I just can't help myself. I'd say UM had the better of the play overall as I stated in your thread, but there wasn't that big of a difference between the 2. UM played better transition D. I was surprised MJ rolled the 4th line out as much as he did at first, but their play warranted the playing time, they did not look out of place at all. I was a little worried about Soup, I think her play hasn't been as consistent as it was last year, but she played awesome. That game was intense, the time just flew right by. Refereeing was terrible, they let way too much go. Why would a UM/UW game be played under different rules?

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
Certainly most people knew the Badgers were on a long winning streak at home, but knowing it was exactly 35 games and/or a team record is another thing. It's a fun team record, but again, it's not like it's nearly the historic event that winning 62 consecutive home and away is - especially when the overall winning streak had only been at 8 games.
Perhaps the more impressive thing is that the 35 game home winning streak only beat the old record by 4 games - the previous record of 31 straight at home was broken with the same game that started the current streak, the loss to the Gophers in December 16. That means the Badgers haven't lost to a team other than the Gophers at home since they fell to St. Cloud in February 2015!

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
... right up until they didn't. The call against Pankowski in the third period that led to the game winner. was a not-so-instant replay of Pankowski getting pulled down at pretty much exactly the same spot behind the net during the second period. (Not to mention Steffen being pulled down in the high crease while splitting two defenders with the puck at the beginning of a third period power play, which didn't get called because 5-on-3 was never gonna happen. And on, and on...)
I'm sure Gopher fans have a half-dozen instances in mind from yesterday. But if that's the way you're gonna ref a game, then just go to a "black and white marbles in the pocket at random intervals" system.
I understand that striking the right balance between "too much" and "not enough" is especially tough in a game like Gophers-vs-Badgers, but yesterday was NOT a satisfactory answer.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
I have noticed over the last couple of years that officials are letting the game get more and more physical. There was more hitting in this years UM / UMD and OSU games than I have ever seen in the womens game. I am OK with that part of it because most of it looked clean and it is part not the whole reason (as it is in the mens) for the game. Sadly, it also seems that part of this loosening of the rules is sliding towards the mens level of letting stuff go. That is not going to be good for the players or the game.
I didn't see the game but listened to it online. It sounded like both teams didn't get calls they should have & also got ones they shouldn't have. That is not how this should work but it looks like the way the world is headed. My guess is Badger fans would have been OK with it if the score had been reversed.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
"The rules" as best I could tell yesterday was that unless you had the puck and were directly threatening the goal, you weren't getting the call. And that might be a reasonable set of "rules". But then the Steffen's pulldown not getting called, and the Pankowski hook/hold getting called blew that theory up.
Badger fans would be happy with consistency. They didn't get that yesterday.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
You are going out on a limb in attempting to put the blame for the loss on the officiating.
Minnesota was called for 3 penalties/6 minutes vs. Wisconsin's 2 penalties/4 minutes. The Badgers failed to capitalize on any of their three power play opportunities vs. the Gophers' one of two.

All right, you've got me beat. My largest was a 47" musky caught in the Mississippi River below the Pokegama Dam at Cohasset.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
Obviously this was a game where the officials decided to let a lot of stuff go, stuff that would probably be called in most games, and these "non-calls" went both ways. We'll see how they decide to call 'em today.
OK sorry I guess I read too much into what you were saying. I'll just say that you did refer to two plays, both of which happened to go against Wisconsin. And one of them happened to lead to the only goal either team scored in the game.

It's a Bob Ludwig game. If you're expecting competence, you're going to be disappointed.

We would all be happy with consistency but it is not going to happen. The best we can hope for is equitable incompetence.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
I just wanted to point out there is fantastic fishing on Monona and Waubesa. You have me beat on sturgeon, my biggest is 0. My son does own the WI state record on golden shiner, I of course was the boat captain. His fish was the second state record caught on my boat.
If I recall, Ludwig seems to always get the UW/UM games.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019
And Roth. I don't know or remember Olsen (though that might have been a good thing; unnoticed refs usually mean they're doing a good job).
Today was better, though that may be a function of a cleaner game all around; way fewer 'obvious' penalties, and the ones there were got called. The back to back calls against UW were both completely legit, eg. If a Gopher fan wanted to complain about a couple things in the frantic last three or four minutes of the third, they'd get no push back from me.
