Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019

I've come to the conclusion that Wisconsin fans manage the tough challenge of being even more ridiculous in complaints about the refs than Minnesota fans. I was leaning in that direction anyway, but the clincher was when the folks around me today erupted in outrage when icing was waved off on a play where the puck never made it within six feet of the goal line.

Any reason to make noise is legit, whether or not the reason is legit. That's being a fan, Course 101.

Glad my son and his friends got to see an entertaining game. I did 5 loads of laundry, made breakfast sandwiches, fried pike for supper, watched the Green Bay offense pea away a great defensive effort today and ran 3 meetings at Church. The question is who had more fun today?

Eight times in ten losses last year, and now four times in five losses this year, Wisconsin has won the first set. That can't be 'coincidence', and it drives me nuts. How, why is that happening? Win the first set, and lose the match. Figure that out, fix that, and the sky is the limit.

The Gophers this year are really, really good.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019

The UW Kato Saturday tilt is on FSN Plus live and tape delay on FS WI @ 4am. I'll probably dvr the one Monday @ 4am and re-watch due to the better video clarity.

Crazy facts of the century...
When is the last time UW and Kato played and both had winning records? I'm guessing never.
When is the last time a Kato goalie had a better save % than the UW goalie? I'm going with never on that one too.
When's the last time UW played an opponent 8 games into the season and the opponent had a 0% PP? Sticking with never.
When's the last time UW played an opponent 8 games into the season and the opponent has a 100% PK. Probably never.
When'a the last time UW played Kato and Kato was averaging more goals than they were allowing? Noch nie.

It's going to be a very interesting series. UW better come out hot and fast and never take the skate off the pedal, MSU's got a SSM alum in goal and she has awesome numbers. This may not be the typical MSU beatdown.

BTW: Cyber-stalking the UW womens team on Instagram (not really, but once you click on something/someone on Instagram, it continues to 'suggest' other posts to you), there was a photo of four or so in "Orange Is The New Black" Halloween costumes, and Clark was still wearing a 'walking boot'. :-(

Great detective work. I don't think it's cyber-stalking if your are drilling public accounts. If MJ would just tell us player X is out for 6-8 weeks, that would be enough. But he doesn't so we have to do a little research.

Never is a long time. I think 1/27/2007 is the most recent, but I may have missed something. MSU wasn't always the worst team in the league.

I doubt you'd be correct. Shari Vogt was pretty good and finished with a better save % than a UW goalie for the season more than once. I'm too lazy to try to figure out what her save % was going into any individual game, but it is likely that if she wound up with a better percentage, it was true also for some game.

These are getting to be entirely too much work. You can research this one yourself. ;)

Not sure if it was the last time, but MSU was on the plus side of the differential heading into the game on 1/27/2007. There may have been a weaker Mavericks team that was still scoring more than allowing for some early season meeting.

tell me about it ...thus far into this puck season:
the Gophers beat UMD the first night, tied the second
beat OSU the first night, lost the second
beat UW the first night, lost the second

my assumption when this happens:
the opposing coach has made adjustments that your coach wasn't able to counter
the opposing team was highly motivated (confidence?) believing they could come back and beat them

in short, the better team (players, coaches) usually prevails in the end

of course, the end doesn't come until March ;)

The "really really good" comment was in reference to women's volleyball and this year's Minnesota team.

Totally spaced it Gardner and Pankowski are gone this weekend. Now I am FREAKING OUT!

I love that Shirley-Roque-Curl line SO MUCH.

That is all.

I do as well, though I pondered the thought of breaking them up mixing them and the Shaver line with them to get more scoring out of that line, maybe flip Shirley and Norby. Maybe wait until Clark gets back though.

Very happy to see them play great D and score enough to escape Mankato missing 3 top end players. A week off is good right now, certainly gets us a week closer to Clark returning.
 
Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2018-2019

@ToddMilewski #Badgers women's hockey gets a commit from 14-year-old goalie Ava McNaughton from Pittsburgh Penguins Elite.

Welcome to the den Ava!

Next weekend is no gimme weekend playing the Beavers, at least they are at home. I'm assuming Gardner and Pankowski will be back. We can only hope Clark will be too.

I'm out of town, so I have given my tickets away, or am trying to. The Fridays are gone, I still have the Saturdays.

Back in the country and have updated the spreadsheet with Ava's commitment.

I feel like I have missed a few others, so let me know who else I may have missed.
