This Badger fan in MN is off to the game (and tomorrow's too). Go Badgers.
Tonight is on Bally Sports Wisconsin 'Extra' (channel 682 on Charter/Spectrum in Madison, though the guide on the cable box has it listed at the wrong time), and tomorrow is on regular BTN.
(I didn't realize it until seeing tweets just now, but it is UW vs Minnesota everywhere this weekend: women's hockey, men's hockey, women basketball, men basketball, even wrestling.)
WOW! Curl blatantly tripped and goes sliding hard into the Gophers net and NO CALL.
I'M BLIND, I'M DEAF, I WANNA BE A REF!

oh wait I'm talking about the dive they called on Heise (but first called on Murphy) that actually looked like a trip by a Badger
She left her feet completely on her own, a dive all the way.
O'Brien being checked into the boards should have been a five minute, like the cross-check delivered Simmsrramawardet was.ws
I didn't think either girl went into the boards hard enough to warrant 5 minutes but yes, since the Gophers were awarded 5 the Badgers should have had the same.
Not saying anything bold when I say this is easily the best the Badgers have looked against a 'good' team all year.
What a barn Burner! Thanks for doing Ohio State a solid. Loved seeing Curl do the pro wrestling takedown, it was sweet.
I would have liked both penalties to be be 5-minute majors. I never like that the difference is how hard the player hit goes into the boards which could result in a very serious injury.
And the reffing tonight has been atrocious. Curl was definitely tripped and Murphy was blatantly checked at the end of a period are just 2 examples.
