Does anyone know if today's game is being streamed live anywhere? I may be stuck in the office :mad:

I haven't found any video stream. Radio is online via iheartradio.com or the WCHA website. Highlights appear on this site shortly happening. Link

Anyone else hoping for a 5 OT game tonight?

I was conflicted with who to root for. Obviously, I hate rooting for the gophers, but one would think CC would be an easier opponent to beat (though after 2 big upsets in this hypothetical, I'm not sure that would matter). I haven't looked closely at the numbers, but if the Badgers can reasonably get in to the NCAA tournament even if they lose tomorrow, then we'd rather it not be against CC, who would bump the bubble teams down a spot. Also, from an objective standpoint, a Wisconsin-Minnesota final would be amazing.

But forget about that. I want a marathon game!

I have the same sentiment. Unfortunately, looking at the other games right now, it looks like we will need to win tomorrow to get in anyway. I like our matchup with CC over UM but like you said, UW-UM objectively would be awesome.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol XXV: There's Hope! Or whatever...

As along as we're making a run at the title, might as well be against Minnesota. Plus, having an all-Big Ten final is kind of amusing for the last WCHA title game.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol XXV: There's Hope! Or whatever...

another tough win totally exceeding my expectations.

it's all sorts of effed up that a team that goes 20-5-5 in their last 30 can be omitted from the tourney, but...that's why you can't start 1-7-2 and carry numerous dubious losses on the resume.

I'm personally hoping for a UW vs. MN final. it would be a fitting end to the WCHA as know/knew it!

UM/UW would be an excellent matchup tomorrow. Nothing more needed to motivate the Badgers, but having it be against the Gophs would make it even better.

If the refs are going to conspire to keep UND out of the game, it might as well be UW.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol XXV: There's Hope! Or whatever...

Yet another wrinkle in the question of who we would rather see the Badgers face in the final --> if CC wins, Saturday night will be their 3rd game in 3 days. If Minnesota wins, the whole issue of rest may play a factor in the final.

I hadn't thought of that angle. :D

Huh?

Anyway, nice run you guys are on. There's not a team in the country that would look forward to playing you in the tourney. Good luck tomorrow.

CC. I want the fatigue factor to the equal.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol XXV: There's Hope! Or whatever...

So in the SCSU thread they are having a two page argument about what exactly constitutes 8 days. In the Mavs thread they have the same over what the in the crease rule actually says.

I'm so freakin' glad we won this game today.

There is an excellent chance I will be there to watch us put a beat down on yet another pretender.

On the other hand, as pointed out in the Pairwise thread, there are 46 scenarios where we lose to Minny and get in but only 6 if we lose to CC. On the other other hand, just win.

I was thinking that, but based on what I've read, UW still has a very low chance to get in with a loss tomorrow, much less than their chance at beating CC. I've heard some great variety in the numbers, though.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol XXV: There's Hope! Or whatever...

Screw it...CC wins this and Badgers beat CC. Don't depend on someone else.

With Union beating Yale and everything else that has happened today we need to win to get in.
