Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2024-2025

Even the Mankato announcer is realized that he is shattering records for different ways to pronounce "Wozniewicz" in a single series.
 
More goals than shots! That is how you play the game, ladies nice period. Kato had zero shots on goal even strength.

It would have been fascinating to be part of the film review between the games Friday and Saturday. Clearly, the coaches saw things or reaffirmed things that did not show up on Friday.

The radio announcers remarked about some hard coaching going on during Friday’s game. I am sure there were follow-up discussions along those lines.

Other than the one game at the end of the season, does MJ tolerate, welcome, orchestrate adversity when it leads to teachable moments?

Very much welcomes it. If you played a drinking game where you took a shot when he says "opportunity" in the weekly press conference you'd be dead in minutes. Each week usually talks about what we learned and how we can or did improve.

Even after the OSU loss he mostly talked about how it was good to learn a lot and now you have chances to get better.

It is all about the struggle. If you win - or lose - and don’t know why, you haven’t learned anything. If you win and know why, you have learned a little. If you lose and know why and know what to do about it the next time, you have learned a lot.

Every game win or lose has teachable moments, so I don't think he welcomes mistakes. All the greats see their own flaws before the awesome things they do, humble beyond belief. That's what makes them great. Obviously there was a lot of "I'm good so I don't have to play quite so hard and smart" going on Friday. It was a truly embarrassing game, getting outshot. Game 2 was fantastic.
 
Friday: hubris (ὕβρις) excessive pride, arrogance, or dangerous overconfidence

No one got killed, although it happens sometimes when the trait is displayed.

Saturday: not so much.



Welcoming adversity is different than welcoming mistakes.
 
What do we know about the Swedish Women's Hockey League? How good are these teams? A step below the PWHL? Is this the league some of the former Badgers like Posick went to play in? A-Sap is averaging a point a game as a 17/18 yr old playing against players who are all older than her. I think this gives her a jumpstart coming in as a Fr. Let's see how she does in this event going on.

The SDHL is a step below the PWHL for sure, and has probably dropped a bit lower since most of it best players departed for the PWHL this past draft.

And statistically a good view is this: through 22 games Adela Sapavalivova has 9G-12A-21P, and through 21 games Brette Pettet has 9G-6A-15P.

Okay so she'll be on the top line next year lol.
 
I was just looking at the standings and things are looking decent. Pairwise UW has a good gap ahead of the rodents. UW has over a sweep of cushion on the trio behind them in my league. Huge series off the break. Must not give Those That Shall Not Be Named any momentum. But in the end they'll have to beat 2 WCHA teams get the Natty. No matter how great the regular season record is, that will be difficult.

That sucked. Then the classless corn people troll the UW Twitter account. What a bunch of a holes.

When they beat the Badgers in Madison the 1st of November, it was primarily on really strong serving; low, flat, lots of 'pace' with no spin, so the ball was moving like a knuckleball. Today it was largely on the strength of their floor defense; balls hit by Wisconsin that would be points against other teams were being dug by the Husker backcourt, make Wisconsin have to try a second and third time, and those too often turned into errors. Point Nebraska instead of point Wisconsin. As much as I hate to admit it, they're just the better team this year.

The fans there are like fans everywhere: some of them are level-headed intelligent folks, and some are as you describe. They do have a lot of the latter, though. :-)
