Deep thoughts not my Jack Handy.......Interesting that Roque was kinda hyped as the next big player for team USA, but she has been on the bottom end of the line-up or a scratch. Eden and Curl have seem to be in the same boat, I wonder if both will get Pankowski'ed for the Olympic team? And I'm not at all griping about it, I haven't seen any of the games so I have no opinion whether or not JJ's line-up is the best combo or not. I did see Harvey have a sweet back door pass for a US goal against the Japs. It's ok, I'm a Kraut.

The men released their schedule, without times of course, so the women's schedule is one step closer to getting done. All their home games are Friday/Saturdays. I have not been able to cross reference the weekends where both are home at this point.
Robert, how is the masking at the VB matches and how does snacking affect mask usage?

Curl and Eden have time to develop; sure hope Roque doesn’t get pankowskied. Roque did well early in the tourney I thought. The decision to keep Knight Decker Coyne together is understandable but it does make it tougher to on board (for lack of a better term) a new player imo, because Roque is then trying to break in to the line up along side less veteran or skilled players. Short tourney gotta do whatever they think they need to do to win but I sure hope to see more of Roque in the future. I follow her on Instagram and I may be misunderstanding something but it appears she may have had a friend recently pass away as well. Not sure if that impacts anything or if I am misunderstanding but as always lots of moving pieces to everything going on that we are not all privy to. Can’t wait for the final tonight! A Canada win will be so sweet and set up great drama for the Olympics.

Oct 8-10, women play St Cloud while men play Michigan Tech. Football is out of town, but volleyball played Saturday night at the Field House. So likely Saturday and Sunday afternoons for women hockey. In fact it is now listed as Saturday/Sunday on the web site. Oct 9 will be "banner drop" and whatever souvenir for the championship (I hope they go back to souvenir pucks!)
Nov 5-7, women play Bemidji while men play Minnesota. Football and volleyball both out of town. No basketball conflicts. Again, likely Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
Jan 14-16, women play St Thomas while men play Michigan State. Basketball schedules not yet known. Again, Saturday, Sunday afternoons.
Feb 11-13, women play Mankato, men Notre Dame. Basketball unknown. Saturday/Sunday afternoons.
Maybe they can manage to get home playoffs to overlap, too! Sheesh!

Masking - universal compliance.
People complying with the rules when eating and not eating. Personally, when people were around, I would take a bite with mask pulled aside and then chew with mask in place as best i could; when the crowd thinned out during the non-Badger matches, I would find a 'socially distanced' spot and take off the mask entirely while eating.
(My 'scheme' to save my ears has been to put a couple safety pins in a baseball cap and then have the mask straps - KN95 -attached to the pins instead of my ears. So I get to the Field House on Friday, sit down outside to attach the mask to the hat... and one of the straps breaks! I go into the Field House with the whole thing in my hand, am *immediately* told by a couple ushers/ticket takers that I can't come in without a mask. It takes way more effort that you'd have expected to get them to understand the problem, and can they maybe find me another safety pin or maybe some tape, etc? After some grumbling - one guy wanted to send me to the Walgreens a block away to figure it out - they get me one of those cheap and ineffective blue fold-up masks so I can 'legally' come in; I go to 'First Aid', they find me another safety pin, and the whole thing holds together for the night. On Saturday, I take a 'new' mask and an extra pin with me.)

I love the engineered mask story. Talk about engineering gone astray at the worst possible time. At least there was a reasonable response by the ushers. We camp by McFarland every other weekend and folks are masked as mandated except for eating. Interestingly I was in Milwaukee for work twice this week and mask usage there is very low in public places inside buildings. My sister in law who lives in Kansas has contracted Covid and so has her son in law and 2 of their 3 kids. No hospitalizations required.
Hey! We are in a month now that has 2 great happenings! My birthday women's hockey starting! Whoot! With this BTN tv deal, I wonder if we will get to see the 2 road series @ Lindenwood and Merrimack? I sure hope so! I'd settle for the worst possible camera work (I promise I won't complain), I just NEED to see those away jerseys on the ice.

Curl was a scratch again for the Gold Medal game. Classes start 9/8 @UW. Is the writing kinda on the wall for her to get Pankowski'ed? I guess you can't turn down the chance to make it when you never know if you will get the chance again. I am just a super practical guy who thinks in terms of losing a whole year of college for nothing delays your entry into the bread winning part of the world by about a year.

Looks like a roster is up. 11 F...Web, SS, GS, Picard, Woz, O-B, Wheeler, Scheider, Posick, Wattage, Pettet. I just have to wonder Watts in the world MJ was thinking when if you take off the 5th year players he lucked into he would have only had 7 forwards in this year's team. 7. Best case if they had Eden and Curl, 9. Maybe then Greig doesn't leave? Ok, then they have 8. IDK. Seems like a crazy plan to me. I would have loved to see the plan B player list to have more F's on the team, assuming there was a plan since we've known about this 21-22 F shortage for years. Someone really needs to ask him this question. Come on TDM, ask it!

I wonder if they'll just sort of not have a "fourth line" and just spot the 'extra' two skaters into the three lines, or double-shift someone from the first three lines to make a fourth line, or have the 'extra' defense play offense on a fourth line. We need the 2021 version of Maddie Rowe!
(And who will be third line, who will be the 'extras', and where will the freshmen play? This is gonna be fun!)

Mega fun! I only see 6 D on the roster so there really isn't an extra one. MJ was spotting Eden when she arrived and then later in the year he was spotting Wheeler, maybe we will see more of that. Based on Watts we know, GS and Posick are the 2 lowest returning players on the pecking order, so will Woz and Picard slot in ahead of them? Part of me would like to see GS and Posick get the ice-time, but then it may mean that Picard and Woz aren't as highly regarded as I had hoped they would be.

Boy I wish you could use GIFS on this site. Smart, smart gal. On Wisconsin!

I think I missed Toft. LaMantia spends enough time below the circles, she would be an interesting candidate, but she's also a top 4 D, so maybe a bad idea.
Thanks for tweeting to TDM my question! Sometimes work gets in the way of staying up to date on twitter. Watts a sad world.

Yeah, I saw his tweet, and figured you'd see it, but maybe not in time for his interview with MJ. Heck, I was probably too late.
I'm hearing she made the switch figuring she'll get more playing time with the BADgers. <Wink>

Pre-season WCHA coaches poll is out. Wisconsin essentially unanimous pick. (MJ not allowed to pick his own team, picked Ohio State as "number one"). Ohio State #2, Minn #3.

Not really thinking about much of anything this morning, thise question popped into my head:
What's Kyleigh Hanzlik doing this year?

It was interesting in that MJ interview how he likes a certain number of players on the roster to run practices and scrimmage effectively. Right now he does not have that.
