Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

I thought we started the second period fairly well until McCabe pulled a, um, McCabe. He just doesn't seem to use his head often enough. Dumb interference penalty in the third as well. Idiotic defensive breakdown as a team on the first goal as well. All in all, I was surprised they hung in as long as they did with Rumpel fighting the puck so much. Here's to next year...
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Wow. You guys are brutal. I am very disappointed, but this is a one and done tournament. **** like this happens. I wish all of the seniors the best of luck in the future. And let's hope Kerdiles comes back against all odds.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Tough way to end the season but a great bunch of kids in cardinal and white again this season, have a safe and happy off-season and we'll see you all in the misery thread soon i'm sure ;).
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Just wanted to say what a hell of a game to watch between the Badgers and UND. Honestly, UND had a lot of things go its way against a very talented UW team. Very nerve racking game to watch because of how the Badgers would dominate/control the play of the game.

Looking forward to these teams continuing to play especially since Wisconsin wasn't a bunch of sissy's like Minnesota initially was in wanting to keep playing each other.

Brutal? In what way?

What's incorrect about, "Same ol, same ol from this group. Never had the intangibles and leadership to make the pieces work together towards a common goal."

This was a season long issue with slow starts and lackluster efforts. For a senior laden team to flame out in the first round can only be looked at as a disappointment.

I wish them well too, but this is a failure and there's no way around that.

Guarantee you that the players (seniors) feel the same way.

Odds were that we couldn't go four games without laying an egg like tonight. To that end, I'm not shocked. But it is a bit shocking and disappointing to see it happen AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN that such a talented and experienced team can come out so flat on yet another Friday.

Even worse to see an uncharacteristic loss that's IMO defined by weak blueline play (to say nothing of the pain of seeing yet another bad loss to the Whioux.

Not a bad year. Any year where we get some hardware (albeit the easiest and least important of the three) is not wasted. (Even if there was some potential that was)

Going out playing great is one thing but laying an egg like this sucks. Now we have no chance for a NC for years.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

I frankly thought that the difference tonight would be in the talent level Wisconsin has but UND doesn't. Not talking about top-to-bottom; talking about top.

You are right on with this post. ND was 4-4 in their last eight games and backed into the tournament. Ugh.

Brutal in the way that if we would have had a puck bounce our way and won 3-2 (honestly, we weren't that far away from a victory), you would not be so negative. Like I said it is disappointing. But this happens to 15 of the teams that make the tournament Evey year. It was a good season. But I think some of the animosity is due to what is expected to happen next year. And that does worry me as well.

Let's not argue.

I support this program and enjoyed watching these seniors.

I'll be there next year just like I am every year and hoping for the best.

What is expected next year? You don't know if anyone is leaving early and you certainly don't know how the freshmen class will do. The young guys on this team like Besse will improve next year too. Good season for Wisconsin. A bit up and down but they will be fine.

When you produce one good team every 4 years, tourney losses feel 4x times worse, especially in the first round.

Never understood the reasoning behind only going once every four years, why not just go every year?

Seriously, who do you think feels worse right now you or the players?
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

It sucks. All I am saying is that there will be Chucks and there will be solosvefts. And most of us are somewhere in between. Only one team wins their last game that matters.

I hope we have a good team next year.

Some will be in the top 5% tax bracket next year, while others will be getting bj's from hot coeds in a few hours. I don't feel bad for them.
