Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
Great effort for most of the game although I wanted to reach through my screen and choke the life out of Brenden for that lackadaisical effort on the power play midway through the third. You could just see that shortie coming and that would have been the turning point had we lost.
Okay, only positives after I get done with Goody who could do a lot better with rebound control and Mitchell who redeemed his early penalties with a great game.
So glad that this team took advantage of their opportunity and got it done. Both opponents battled us hard, but obviously we were the best team in the region. I'll admit that I was a little nervous playing SCSU but we took it to them and were most definitely the better team.
Nice to see us get contributions from others on the team besides the obvious stars. We've been talking about our depth all year and it came up big tonight.
Going to the FF! Bring on RIT!

I thought the same thing as it was unfoldling. The same thing.
He also took stipid penalties as well tonight and yesterday. I have zero tolerance for slashing penalties.
That 3rd goal.....Ick.
Done *****ing. Let's enjoy the ride as it continues.
Geoffrion really did himself a ton of good this weekend in the Hobey race. I think the ballots are due in Monday. Scrivens and Chevy killed their chances this weekend. Smith didn't shine.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
After this weekend I'm convinced that our best player isn't a Hobey Baker finalist. Ryan McDonagh has been phenomenal all year, but I thought he just was so good, so strong, so dominant at his position all weekend. I love Smith and think he's had a fabulous year, but McD is a bull.
OK, so I'll call it a toss-up between McD and Geoffrion for our best player.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
Thought over the last 5 or 6 weeks of the season that a couple of players have really come on... Bendrickson, Bombach, and Mitchell now seems to be hitting the stride he was on towards the end of last season. Having multiple lines makes all the difference in the world. Geoffrion just looks like he is on another level entirely.
Now if we could just start to convert on some breakaways. Great game!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
I agree, McD is awesome, just so solid and consistant. There is no way he should even be considered for the Hobey, as he is not flashy enough, but if I was drafting a defenseman, I would choose him over Smith without a second thought (but Smith would be my second defenseman if he was still available
)

Yeah, a lot of 1-0's but not enough goals.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
What does everyone think about the contact to the head penalties, is there a solution?
I agree that concussions and head injuries are very serious and should be watched very closely. However, a lot of times what would be a perfectly clean hit was changed into a contact to the head, as the puck carrier was trying to duck the hit. There was no way for the defender to stop at that point.
What do you guys think?

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
If they are really going to call those contact to the head penalties consistently, it's going to take some time before players get the change. It's going to need to be enforced at all levels of play, players will have to develop different habits, etc.
It's not a bad thing per se, but the change could be painful. That's why I think this relatively sudden focus on those kinds of penalties, while justified, leaves the players on the ice scratching their heads about what's a clean hit and what's not.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
I guess my issue with how they are calling this now is that it seems like every big open ice hit results in an automatic contact to the head penalty if the collision looks bad enough. At least that was my impression after this weekend at the X. I have no problem calling contact to the head, there were several easy and well deserved calls this weekend for that. But it just seems like all big hits, especially when there is a size differential in the players, is now automatically contact to the head. Or maybe it was just because the officiating this weekend was absolutely horrid, for all parties involved.

You know, they played this both nights at the X, and the UW students even finished it off after they cut the music when play resumed. Heck, I even found myself humming along, so that's a good nomination. They also broke out House of Pain both nights for the Badger fans.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!
Well, my group has passed out and I sit alone with my beer in the business center. Very few complaints about the game tonight. I think we played well, and got a good game from SCSU. The SH'ed goal had some lazy play and was a bad rebound from Goody, and the EN goal by SCSU was one that I hate to see go in, especially from that angle, but ESPECIALLY in that situation. But I think the Huskies made those plays because they really wanted the game. I hope we clean them up going forward.
To the officiating, pretty much every penalty that was called confused me. They'd call one on us and I didn't see it or know why or thought it was a soft call, and then they'd call one on SCSU and I didn't see it or know why or thought it was a soft call. Equal opportunity suck from the stripes.
I am scared of RIT. They are giant killers, and they must believe. They just took a team who must have thought they had a relatively easy tourney game to the woodshed.
Lift a glass. Let's rock rock city.
ETA: on the Journey question, I hope the newer generations of students recall that we sang Lights because the lights went out in the third period of a game against, I think, Mankato. If I remember correctly, we had to finish the game the next night. Not that Journey doesn't rule.
