This thread is nowhere near as interesting or as distracting as the SCSU-UM thread.

The thread feels like a BADger hockey game. Nobody from Wisconsin is here.

Rodents and goats... Even the power of thinner has it's limits.

I have a word for you guys. --> Soap <--

Well, for one thing, we're not very good.

Another thing, we're not out to prove our worth and relevance to big sister like Jan-fan always is.

So you're saying iffy ice could potentially slow down our precision passing attack?

Precisely!

Wisconsin has worth and relevance? News to me.




(BTW, please beat the gophers, thanks.)

Not that I'm predicting a Gophers sweep, but Minnesota wasn't playing nearly as well as they are now when these two teams met earlier this season either.

Fair enough. Since November 30th team records are:
Minnesota 10-3-2
Wisconsin 11-2-5
Should be a great series
Though keep in mind Minnesota played 5 fewer games

6 of your 11 wins during that stretch were UAA (4 games) and Alabama-Huntsville (2 games)

Indeed, it should be.

Regarding those stats:

Keep in mind though, the Gophers have only lost two games since Chrismas break, while playing a tough stretch of games against BC, Notre Dame, UND, Mankato, SCSU (all Top 12 Pairwise teams), and an easier series against AA. And both of those losses were to Top 10 Pairwise teams by only 1 goal. In fact, the Gophers have lost by more than 1 goal only once this season, and that was in their first WCHA series of the year against Tech (they lost by two goals).

Which plays RIGHT into our hands coz we can't score more than two goals in a game! You follow?

That it does.

Also playing on an NHL size rink helps with your trap, less ice to cover, I could see Sundays game being 2-1. Unless you keep giving us PP's of course then it's a different story.

C'mon...

Chicago and all that. You think the refs haven't already been gotten to?


The trap AND dicey officiating? Better have lots of hankies on hand.

If Doyle Lonnegan says it's so, then it is.

The refs have been gotten to.

And been payed handsomely to provide Wisconsin with as many power plays as possible.

Good luck with that.

Now watch the Badgers hang six on the Gophers
