Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXXVI: Stop looking for the silver lining and ignoring the probl
Am I still an alumni after dropping out after a year and a half?
Close counts in hand grenades, horseshoes and alumni-ship.
I sing Varsity @ UW games and I only registered to attend UW Madison, then changed my mind.
No responses about a televised game.....we all know what Mama said, but I'm going to anyway....allowing a 3 on 1 short-handed...Kunin's cross ice pass attempt was a terrible idea, which got intercepted and allowed the 3 on 1. The there was the pathetic back-checking on that play. Kunin just effed up, get you aassss back into the play and clean up your mess.
Both 3 on 1's, where is the 2nd D? Sexton cannot come back soon enough.
Jurusik is just not showing me enough, but he's the best we've got. I was impressed with the shootout win last week, I thought he had tuned the corner a bit, but his technique is a mystery at times and he's over-moving on backside stuff, though last night it did not cost him. I hope that dud who bolted this summer is sucking wherever he is playing. Thanks for nothing (but he's an alumni, right?
. People gave me **** about the idea of redshirting Petersen (if he would have been open to it) last year so he could compete for the starting job with bail-out-boy, it would have been pure genius. You never know and that would have been a great insurance policy that UW's be collecting on right now.
Allowing 58 sog? Getting outshot 24-3 in the second period? I know a lot of PSU's shots are garbage, and Jurusik stopped all the garbage, but come on, that translates to lack of puck possession for UW.
PSU has traditionally gave UW all sort of problems and I was hoping that UW would show some progress against them, that they are getting better against them, but this game shows no progress. At least they can score enough not to have an embarrassing box score in the end column.
Let's end on a positive. I liked the physical play, I like that they just don't roll over offensively and that they can come back against deficits. They did have a great chance to win in OT right before PSU scored, so I'm not overly PO'ed about the 3 on 1 in OT, though the missing D is an issue...darn, couldn't stay positive.
LET'S GO RED!
