Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2017-2018
It's a great day for hockey and a bad day to be toothpaste haha.
No matter the outcome, it's been a fantastic season, an immensely enjoyable season, and a testament to the coaches and players that came together with a lot of new faces after a heartbreaking defeat to end last year. Play fast, loose and smart. On, Wisconsin and Forever Forward!Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2017-2018
Watched the MJ/Shaver/Kepler press conference. It was very impressive that Shaver jumped on a question for MJ before he could answer about how last year's loss will impact these games. That's leadership we can count on right there.
Another interesting tidbit a question about what the Staff's expectations were for this year considering all the new faces and MJ said they have no expectations, they just try and improve every day. That really blew my mind.
Great article by Todd D Mileski about the coaching staff. I'm always slightly worried Jackie or Dan will leave to h/c their own team and how that might impact the future. I want to ride this train forever.
One last interesting fact from morning reading is that no UW team has returned less points than this one, yet look where they are.....so proud of the staff and the players.
Jump on Colgate with relentless speed and trust what you have done and learned this year.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Originally posted by Still Eeyore View PostDumb penalties killed them in a game they otherwise controlled. Fifteen minutes into the second overtime, Norby's is forgivable, even though there was a defenseman back to make it unnecessary.
Campbell played okay, definitely let in one or two she shouldn't have. And Roque needs to chill. Change those two things (or even just one of them) and this turns into a Badger win.
Pretty disappointing way to end the season. I think if these teams played 10 times the Badgers would win 8 or so. But you gotta win the one that counts.

Originally posted by shelfit View PostThere will be plenty of tears of heartbreak and disappointment shed tonight and throughout the weekend by the Badgers players and justifiably so. Anything less than the National Championship this year is a failure in their minds and they are right. I don't think they consider this to be a great season. A very good one, yes, but they did exactly what they expected themselves to do all season long to get to this weekend. Falling short of the title game to a far less talented opponent is not acceptable to these athletes. Two years in a row of choking on this weekend is a sickening pattern and only a national championship victory is going to cure this ill. Lots to work on for the future...penalty kill is in the spotlight right now.

The Badgers owned the play for most of the game, but they were also the team that made the most, unnecessary, mistakes, and give all the credit in the world to Colgate for taking advantage.

Anyone else already thinking ahead to next season? I'm so excited to see Pankowski and Clark back in cardinal and white. I have to think we will be even better next year with them in the lineup.
