Wisconsin Hockey 21-22: Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

Great to see the nhl wonderboys look a little silly and make them pay. I was not expecting to see Rowe in goal after the way Moe played Friday. And no yanks.
 
That was a lot of fun to watch (even with the Michigan radio guy on BTN+ whining about the referees from the opening whistle.) I love that the energy from Thursday continued to Friday. You have the potential to see a team give up in the face of early adversity- especially a young team. I’m not seeing that with this team and that excites me. Now let’s beat those Gophers!

Time to get the sport sync radio and listen to Brian Posick. It works great.
 
Watched highlights of Norte Dame vs Minnesota… so this is the b10 normal? The lower half of the bowl was 1/2 empty…

man…

I recall the rodent burrow being shocklingly not full 2 years ago.

I'm not surprised UW had a lot of grade A chances the way UM plays loose and fast, so it was good to convert in game 2. I think um plays a little tighter than UM, so it will be interesting to watch the contrast of styles.

My daughter wants to go to the UM Friday night game. I said "you know we're going to get killed." She smiled and said "we have fun!" Yes, Maddy, we always have fun.

I didn't realize Grant Cruickshank transferred from Colorado College to the Goofers. At least he won't be playing vs the Badgers this weekend, apparently.

I know a lot of us were up in arms over TG dumping him. His scoring hasn't turned out all that great while at CC, though not horrible. He was a C at an young age, which is impressive and at times can be more important that scoring.

Yep, I think it came down to scholarship amount and now moving to Goofers, that was not reconcilable apparently.....
 
Reads like Bantle will play this weekend. I'd not be in favor of a massive lineup shuffle after a good performance the last game.

TG said he won't wear a red blazer for the red out Friday, due to his reverence for Bob Johnson. I would not mind if he wore it. It would be a nice way to to link the past with the present.
 
Lace em up and crack some rodent skulls boyz. Just don't get a 5 minute major doing it.

It's a great day for hockey, let go RED! and On Wisconsin!

Absolutely zero interest in the goofer series on this board. What a disappointment.....

Me! Pick me! I have plenty of interest, but without others posters working it, I just peek. I come to read what y'all have to say though. Reading the Gopher only thread (GPL) just isn't the same. I too miss the days of six to eight pages on just this weekend before puck drop Friday nights. Sigh. Good luck. I hope you lose and nobody gets hurt.
 
Gotta give them credit. Down 2 goals, tie it up. Score on your on net, and tie it up. Played OT smart and Caufield gets the winner after dinging the crossbar. Is a sweep too much to ask for?
