Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2024-2025

It's a great day for playoff hockey, all around the country.

Of interest to Wisconsin fans, looking forward to possible opponents next week and in the NCAAs, are the Duluth-St Cloud games and the Quinnipiac-Clarkson games. That Q-Clackson match-up likely becomes more-or-less an NCAA "play-in" series, with a good chance the winner ends up coming to Madison to play the NCAA #8 vs #9 game.

For the first maybe 8 or 10 minutes or so of the first period, the scoreboard wasn't showing shots-on-goal. The first time I saw it showing numbers, shots were 6-to-5, UW's favor.

At the end of the second period, it was 35-to-5.

For 30 minutes, maybe more, shots were 29 to 0.
 
Katie Kotlowski was in the warm ups but left the ice early and never came out for the game. Did anyone see who was injured in the third period? She skated to the bench, clearly hurt, sat on the end for a bit, then went to the locker room with the trainer. Cassie Hall, perhaps?

Badger line chart is just a suggestion, really should only be used to see who's skating! Love it.

That actually annoys the crap out of me. I'm always fascinated by line combinations and when he doesn't follow them it really ticks me off. But I understand yesterday they had injury in warm ups so that necessitated the well shaken forward combinations.

The old wrestling tournament sure does make parking interesting, especially since the lot off of Regent Street is now all hotels and apartments. My under the radar parking area was available, it's just a longer walk for my daughter who doesn't do so well walking longer distances. She's a trooper though.

Yes, it was Hall, she got rattled in the corner, managed to make it to the bench. I'm not sure if she skated after that for the night though.

Quinnipiac takes game one, 3-1.

If St. Lawrence stays at 8th in the Pairwise, the winner of Quinnipiac-Clarkson will probably be 9th. This would give an ECAC matchup in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In this case I think that the committee would probably move the 9th Pairwise team, avoiding a conference matchup but keeping the prospective 8-vs-1 for Wisconsin's regional. So Wisconsin may host St. Lawrence (if they stay at 8) and the winner of the Hockey East tournament (if they are the 10th team in). I am still experimenting with the scenarios on TTT's predictor, though!

(edit: Note this is the case only if there aren't tournament wins from outside the top 9 nationally in AHA and ECAC tournaments; an outside team winning one of those would remove Clarkson/Quinnipiac, and both would also remove St. Lawrence.)

I looked at the BTN Plus replay. At about 12:20 remaining in the 3rd period, Hall goes into the corner with one BSU player, gets knocked back, and falls fairly hard on her back. Maybe hits her head on the ice? Gets up slowly, skates through the crease, looking for a pass as Wisconsin maintains possession, and then skates slowly to the bench. As best I could tell, she didn't play again.

So now the list of players to watch for in warm-ups today grows to Potter, Kotlowski, and Hall. Ugh!

(And while watching that, the announcers pointed out something remarkable that I had not realized. O'Brien took a tripping penalty not long after Hall left; her FIRST penalty of the season! Seriously?!?)

Yeah, I could see that. Good point.

(That would maybe Penn State and Quinnipiac heading to Columbus and Ohio State. The same three teams played there in the 2023 tournament. AND in 2022, Q took Ohio State to double-overtime - and rang the pipe HARD in one of the OTs - before OSU won, and went on to the national championship.)

True -- the OT felt grueling just to watch. I see Corinne Schroeder had 73 total saves against OSU (box).

Those 3 teams have a lot of history at OSU Ice Rink in the tournament.
 
If I've done my research correctly, Harvey and O'Brien are both four points away from breaking records. Who gets the puck if they both break respective records on the same play?
Harvey has 127 points by a defensive player, Sis Paulson has the team record at 130.
O'Brien has 259 points, Hillary Knights got the team record at 262.

I'm at the other end of the 'spectrum':

I noticed during a power play last night, when UW would normally have 4 forwards and 1 D in the ice, that Venusio was out with Laila, but it was Laila out on the blue line, with Venusio in one of the 'forward' positions. Other times, I noticed Venusio crashing the net is a way she would not normally do.

I think there was a concerted effort to (finally) get Venusio her first goal. I'm keeping an eye out for that; I hope she gets it today.

I noticed that effort for Venusio too! And I'm with you, here's to 21s first
 
Well, I won't be at the rink today so please post soon as you know who's not suiting up. Life is a little crazy right now.
