Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

I don't believe that in a second. Going from #30 to #6 just by flipping 3 losses to wins?

I've always been considered very good in sales & marketing, but EVEN I couldn't sell that.

You don't believe in... math?
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

....
Season has been frustrating to no end......

Long post. I agree with one sentence.

I want wins. I give two craps about NHL picks blah blah blah.

Win, it's a simple concept. Obviously something is horribly wrong. And there has to be changes. I'm done with excuses.

We needed a huge improvement after the break. Don't see it.

The stats that keep jumping out week after week, the defense and face-offs. Frustrating.

Yep. He's a homer, he has to say stuff like that. No more talk, the players will show us soon enough.

Not real excited for what they said by their play Saturday. Stupid penalties are an indicator of frustration and desperation. The coaches need to be able to coach these guys out of this stuff.

How about that clock snafu that cost UW a goal on the PK Saturday. That's a pile of crap.

Shame on you. He is our best D man. Love you can give us more.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

From Todd’s article below, Wow. I’ve noticed an uptick on clock malfunctions at the KC this year - so much so that folks in our section regularly razz the scoreboard for being so high tech, but apparently unable to do something as simple as counting down from 20 minutes. But, at least the KC timekeeper does a consistent job of notifying the ref when there is an issue. In what happened below, the ND timekeeper had to know they hadn’t started the clock for 42 seconds, and simply chose to not notify the refs. And in doing so, cost the Badgers an additional penalty and an additional 5-3 goal. I hate to be a guy who blames the refs for an outcome of the game, but watching on TV, this game was admittedly not called evenly. Then to find out that an off-ice official played this big of a role in shaping the game is ludicrous. If the Badgers go into the locker room down 2-1 at the end of two periods, it’s a lot different in momentum than going in down 3-1 with an entire PP to kill. And that is all on the officials. This is just a crazy, unconscionable scenario for the Big 10 to have allowed. Mistakes happen. But to not point out the mistake so it can be fixed now made it something very different than a mistake, and a simple “I’m sorry” from the league office must have been even more insulting for the staff to receive after the fact.

————————

Granato said the Big Ten apologized for a timing error by off-ice officials that added what he said was another 42 seconds to the second period on Saturday.

That was to the detriment of the Badgers, who were whistled for a penalty and allowed a 5-on-3 goal in the final 18 seconds of the period — time that shouldn’t have been left on the clock.

After Notre Dame scored with 3:35 remaining in the second period to take a 2-1 lead, the timekeeper at Compton Family Ice Arena didn’t start the clock for nearly three-quarters of a minute after the faceoff.

“The period would have been over 42 seconds earlier but because of a human error, there’s nothing they can do,” Granato said Monday. “They said ‘sorry.’”

Timing errors normally are corrected at the next whistle, when off-ice officials alert the referees and fix the clock. That didn’t happen Saturday, and the Badgers went into the third period trailing 3-1 after Cal Burke’s goal with 7.1 seconds left. They lost 5-2 after cutting the deficit to 3-2 in the opening minute of the third period.

Goofer week. I see the anticipation is building with all the site activity:cool: I digress.

I guess with the Rodents playing decent hockey recently I predict another split. Worse case being a loss and tie.

Bob Motzko coming to the Hockey Backer luncheon Friday, which I believe is the first time a Goofer coach has come since they started that group!
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

I pledge to huff thinner Friday and Saturday nights. I make no such commitment to watch or listen to the games. I might watch but not a priority.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

Taking my roommate to her first badger hockey games this weekend! I'm excited!

Take her to a women's game. Those are more fun IMHO. If the band shows up. I doubt they will be there this weekend for St. Cloud. Last week was the week to take a newbie to a women's game as far as the atmosphere dripping with excitement.

Badgers eat well this weekend and poop the remains back into the holes they found dinner in. Badgers sweep.

She prefers men's hockey due to the physicality. We've attended many UWSP men's games, especially when the goons from St. Norbert and Adrian are in town, but never any women's games. I do enjoy going to the Badger women's games with my little sister though. Have not been in awhile and it's tough with her in her first year of college in northeast Indiana.

MJ's team probably plays more physically than the men do LOL. Remember the men are too small to physically mix it up per TG.

I was surprised he didn't come back with the Hammer last Saturday.

We're doing the double Saturday; that's always a fun day for us. Maybe the last men's game of the year for us to go and watch in the flesh. 3 in a season is a record for me.

Did you attend the exhibition game a couple years back against the “goons” from St Norbert that UW insisted be closed to the public? You know, the one that ended in a 3-3 tie after SNC had the apparent game winning goal mysteriously waived off with under 5 minutes to play? And that was one of only two SNC teams to not qualify for NCAA’s in the last 18 years. UW would be lucky to have Coach Coghlin.

Comparing SNC to Adrian is a low blow, and you seem to be forgetting the Point teams coaches by Will Nichol.
