    Here's a gif of the play.

    To me Bristedt sets his skates and drives straight into Tischke's back. All he had to do was continue up and pinch to the wall. But he doesn't and IMO it's a very dangerous play. Tischke is very strong on his skates and gets one forward to mitigate his going head first into the wall a bit. If he doesn't, or if it catches, or maybe if it's Linhart, who is 25 lbs. lighter, it could've been a disaster. From what I've seen, and I think rightly so, when it's close, they call it 100% of the time, as CFB near the wall can put a kid in a wheel chair. There should be very little leeway. Opinions may vary, of course.

      I don't think I would have greatly protested had the big call been made, but even after watching the replay I see it as best a 50/50 call. However, he took it too close to the edge and you have to avoid that type of hit as much as possible.

      It was a fun game to watch. Many of us had fun at UW's expense the past few years, but at the end of the day watching these teams compete not only on the ice but for something important is far more enjoyable. I greatly respect Granato and he is going to make things much tougher for the Gophers and the B1G in general as the years go by. Fans like you deserve nothing less and this should be extremely fun to watch moving forward. Especially since your squad recognizes you don't have to win 1-0.

      Here's to tonight.

When you outshoot a team 38-18, including 18-7 in the 3rd period, you should not lose the game. I won't be surprised if we see a few changes in the lineup tonight, as there were several guys who didn't contribute much at all.
        The Gophers launched a ton of shot attempts (83 vs. 38/Wis.). I agree the Gopher's structure and playmaking in the O zone was out of sync. I thought Vinnie had more shots that went wide than usual. But credit the Wis D. Defensively, I thought the difference in the game was Wis. boxed out well and protected Berry in front for most of the game especially in the 3rd period.

        For a team that's ranked 57th with 10 blks/gm, Wis. had 29 last night, well over the Mich. mark, who leads the nation with 18 blks/gm. Berry also played a huge role in shutting down the Gophers. IMO he looked very sharp between the pipes and overall played complete game.

        EDIT:

        The Gophers missed Szmatula on his line and the PP. Apparently he's day to day with an upper body injury. Hope he's back tonight.

            Agreed. I love the unselfish plays ( pass first i.e. ) but quite a few times last night I think a hard shot & crashing the net for a rebound would have been better than that third pretty pass. A really hot goalie didn't help our cause, either. Good game though. Let's go get 'em tonight.

              I'm looking forward someday to watching a TV broadcast of Badgers-Gophers that has someone with a Wisconsin connection. Listening to Doug McLeod is exhausting as a non-Gopher fan. I understand when the games are at Mariucci, but not when the games are in Madison.

              Great opportunity for the Badgers tonight, but there is seemingly always a game in this series where the Gophers go off for 5+ goals.

                Still surprised it didn't happen last night. So many missed chances for them.

                I'm worried that theyll be more calm cool and collected tonight. Here's hoping that they remain snake-bitten.

                  He really was terrible last night. We all have some homer in us; but, this guy reminds me of those fans at football games who boo the officials for overturning calls via replay. They looked at the tape you morons, don't boo just to boo/expect every call. McLeod was looking for a penalty anytime a WI player checked someone.

                    Berry was berry, berry good and the BADgers played very good position, leading to lot of blocked shots. I think it also led to many of the Gopher misses. If you're trying to avoid hitting the guy in the shin guards again, you might miss the net.

                      A snip of what I posted early last week.... "I know the games are on FOX WI, but I believe FOX North does the production for these (WI-MN) games. Regarding play-by-play, it would be cool to have a split booth. They tried that many years ago. I really liked it and I think the announcers did as well." I think Tom Sagissor was in the booth with "The Rug" and "Wooger"...good times!

                      I really tried to listen to him without judging; last time I had to switch my sound system to stream from WIBA. He IS difficult to listen to; although I have NO problem with the analyst...forgot his name. I know he has a good resume, but I know some Gopher fans are over him. I was with them until he gave the first goal to Jedd Soleway and went on to tell everybody that that is his first point since "whenever". He never corrected himself but his analyst mentioned it was Frederic who scored during the replay. This guy knows that Fox WI is broadcasting with FOX North, but I don't think he cares.
                      Tonight, I'm back to syncing my sound system with WIBA and DirecTv.

                      That said, it was a fun game to watch just like it should be between these teams. Just when I start to feel comfortable, MN pops one and all hell breaks loose. Puck luck for the Badgers was mentioned...part of the game kids, and I don't think Minnesota's first goal was a strategic plan. This 83 "shot" effort that McLeod brought up after the game is bull****. Just because you flip a puck "towards" the net from 75+ feet isn't an attempt. Child, Please.

                      Sorry, I just feel like **** and it's putting me in a bad mood.

                        Now that does bring back the past. I normally didn't like Sagissor, but what the heck, why not every once in a while for a Border Battle.

                          Not so fast my friend.

                          Whichever way you want to argue the Gophers controlled most of the play and were clearly buzzing more often than UW. But why should that be upsetting - you guys won. I'd take that.


                          I might be in the minority of Gophers fans but I enjoyed when Sagissor joined the Gophers booth.
