I'm able to hear the game on 1310.

They must have something different online than live...even though the website says Badger Hockey is supposed to be on.

Well, it appears as though it is going to be on channel 87 for us Charter digital members, as they have a WCHA pregame type dealio on right now...That's a frickin' miracle!

A miracle and a half!

First period was very solid...although MSU looked really sluggish.

Really makes a difference when they put the puck in the flippin net!

For those of you lucky enough to be watching it, I guess we cannot be TOO upset at Smith for playing too offensive....

Didn't think I'd ever be disappointed that i didn't have Charter cable. I guess that's what i get for living in Milwaukee. UW Hockey really doesn't exist down here. Gave B2 a try tonight and I was not impressed. Couldn't get the picture to show up in media player and according to B2 it was a problem at the Arena. At least that's what the automated email they sent me said.

Anyone else have problems with B2 in the past or tonight?

As of now I don't think I'll use their service again.

In the past, I've never really had problems w/ B2, and I didn't try tonight, but my buddy Tomahawk said he got hosed tonight. After the 1st period, he said he only had video for a couple minutes and that the audio was terrible.

And why wasn't Michael Davies in the lineup last week? He sure turned in a nice performance tonight.

You guys that didn't get video didn't miss much, haha. Congrats to Wisconsin for their first W on the season. Looking forward to the series next weekend.

I think perhaps that Davies wasn't in the lineup last weekend b/c last weekend he didn't seem willing/ready to compete hard and play physical the way he did tonight. Posick/Cerniglia said they saw a level of physical play from Davies tonight that they haven't seen from him over the past 3 years. Said he played really well. (Although Oz still called him out a little bit for not finishing more.)

Seems to me that sitting Davies last weekend was pretty effective.

Hello Badger Fans,

I want to apologize for the technical difficulties tonight. We had a piece of gear in our trailer that failed tonight. We had to rewire the whole truck during the 1st period. I hope Tonight we don't have the same problems. Question for the Charter digital costumers. Did you see the game (anything after the 2nd period) on channel 87?

Holy Cow the badgers have some talent!

Re: WISCONSIN HOCKEY 09-10 - Climbing The Mountain (7th Edition?)

I honestly think the Badgers started feeling sorry for us and held back in the 3rd period. This game could have easily been 20-0. Hats off to the Badgers, you outplayed us in every aspect of the game.

I have recaps, etc, linked up for you at the bottom of this post.

Gotta like some of the headlines . . . Badgers melt Mavericks, Badgers maul Mavericks, Badgers silence Mavericks . . .

Yes, I saw the whole game except for the part of the first period when your problem occurred and the screen went black. The second period had no stats, replays or commercials, just the cameras showing the game. The audio was of rather poor quality (just being honest ), so I just muted the game and watched with my son and I doing the play by play. The 3rd period was totally normal with replays, stats and commercials. Thanks a ton for showing the game, we Badger fans who saw the game really appreciate it. It was great to see something when I thought I'd see nothing. Better luck tonight (for the braodcast, that is)!

Davies had a great game. He played really well. Oz needs to lighten up.

Went to the Madison Ice Muskie game last night. It was pretty entertaining. Tom Bardis is playing on the team.

$3 for a 16oz Bud isn't bad and the hockey was fun too watch. The score was 8-7.

Some other local players are Kerns and Cripps.

1-2-1

I'm ****ed & disappointed in Saturday night. You blast a team off of the ice one night, then the next night you play the team even, take stupid penalties and lose.

I've said this about the football team as well; put your foot on their throats, pushy hard, and don't let up until the final buzzer.

Way too much like last year.

yep. 1-2-1 is not the start you want from an experienced team. on the 1 hand you can count pipes and missed opps and say they could be 3-1 but they're not.

in 05-06 they started similarly 2-1-1 with 3 OT games in the first 3 vs. St. lawrence and St. Cloud. That's where I'll stop my comparison. It may be unfair at this point, but I don't see a Burish or Ryan Mcmurchy/ or Dowell type leader in this group. That group established their presence immediately in their first seasons. Can someone step up and do that this year, yes. But it doesn't seem right that I can't pinpoint an on-ice take-charge leader in this group based on 3 prior seasons of watching them......

Would any of the Sr or Jr players on the 05-06 team have taken a CFB major penalty in a game while killing off a CFB major? Would Gilbert or Burish or Joudrey (those that wore letters that season?

The fact of the matter is that this team has left all 5 of those points on the table so far this year. They really need to stop doing that. It's great that they were in all the games to the end, but they have to develop the killer instinct that seperates championship teams from everyone else.

But things could be worse:
We could have been swept...
at home...
while scoring a total of zero goals.

Well, that's pretty much it, isn't it. I didn't see the game, but based Posick's/Cerniglia's call of the game and quotes from Eaves, it sounds like the Badgers didn't come out with enough intensity to start the game. And then, of course, after generating some momentum and tying things up, they screw themselves w/ the penalties. Stupid. Should've won that game, and if they had come out with more intensity earlier on or if they hadn't screwed themselves with the CFB's, I'd like to think that they would've won.

That WOULD have been horrible. Even worse, you could have then watched football the next day to take away the sting of said shutouts and seen your savior/quarterback turn the ball over not once, but twice for defensive touchdowns and then lose the game. That would REALLY suck.

that's just it. Burish, Dowell, Macmurchy, Carlson, Earl, Pavelski, Licari, Brandt, those guys wouldn't have taken a CFB in the first place (generalizing) but DEFINITELY not immediately after killing off one.

And the reason is that 2-3 guys in that group would have made it CLEAR to the players that that crap isn't going to happen. And if they had to they'd enforce that in practice physically.

ugh.

I don't care if it's a freshman or Senior but someone needs to take the reigns and control the team.

Hey now, the INT was NOT Brett's fault (and the fumble would have never happened if not for a B.S. 'tripping' penalty that negated the TD to Rice that would have made it 17-13 Vikes, completely changing the dynamic of the game). Alas, humble in victory, gracious in defeat. The Steelers made plays when it mattered, the Vikings did not. See your Packers next weekend (and your Badgers the following!)
