Wisconsin Hockey 23-24: Hastily Making Wisconsin Hockey Great Again

So we're down to a home series to win the Big 7 regular season title outright. I really can't wipe the grin off my face, you know it? Truly unbelievable. And I won't be able to watch the whole game because we'll be at Labahn watching the women. Hopefully it's on Big ten Plus and we can watch in the stands on my daughter's phone while we're watching the women play live.

I have tickets both nights, but I can't go. I made plans almost a year ago and I will be attending. Unfortunately. But I will be there the rest of the way into the playoffs.

I may do a double one day. 3rd tier seats are for sale between the blue lines but mostly full. They may have to open that tier into the corners.
 
Can we talk about the elephant in the room?

If BTN not broadcasting the series and to this point no ability to flex it. Embarrassing. Feel like they banked on Michigan & Goofs to be the top 2 at the end. Now they are completely eating their clearly biased broadcast schedule.
 
I think he’s one of their best players. One of those guys who scores timely goals but also leads by example. I hope he can be back for the playoffs.

Agreed. He is certainly one of my favorites and has been since he came back from the injuries last year.
 
They keep opening up more of the 3rd tier; they did 4 more sections. I'm contemplating a double Friday, but the 8pm start time is painful for me with an hour drive home though.
 
Now they opened up the rest of the third tier opposite end of the band. I decided that I'm going to go to the Friday game so yeah I'm doing the double with my daughter on Friday. Fun times for sure.
 
From what I know, Horbach should be back in the lineup tonight. He made the trip last weekend to PSU but they held him out (good discipline). Lindmark I believe they are nursing back still. Def not playing this weekend. Hoping for a Big10 playoff return next week.

That being said...I kinda dont want the bye. Keep the train rolling. This team doesnt do well with time off.

I agree. They have not solved the bye week puzzle yet, so I won't be too disappointed if they don't get the title, I want the NCAA way more.
 
So... have MSU come in and win the title on our ice?

Yeah... no.

Isn't there a two week gap between the regionals and the Frozen Four?

Win the B1G and then learn how to handle the time off or go home.

I'll be there tonight... in a suite no less. ;)

Agreed! The team will have to deal with a week off if they get to the FF so man up!


also…..PHIL will be in the house tonight!!!!!
 
Jesus Christ MSU plays as dirty as Notre Dame.

I’ve seen 3 obvious boarding infractions and only one was called. Not to mention a couple of obvious hits on players well after they’ve made a pass.

F MSU. Pour it on them in the 3rd!
 
Maybe this will re-energize them for next week. Given how OSU played them a few weeks ago, they better find another gear.
 
Wisconsin was the better team tonight, dominated stretches of play like the 06 team but MSU got a couple of lucky breaks, especially on the 3rd goal.

I have to say I didn’t care about MSU at all but now after this season I’m starting to hate these pricks, especially their coach
