If you listened to his remarks he said they knew they were going to have to weather the storm at certain times throughout the game and wait for their opportunities and hope to take advantage of those opportinities. They did exactly that. They displayed great poise and patience because that's what they were prepared for, and they definitely took advantage of their opportunities. Being opportunistic is critical in winning games no matter how good your team is or how many shots you get compared to your opponents.

    Perhaps MJ's in-game comments to his players were, "Ok, keep shooting it high and missing the net. Those attempts look really nice even though they're not hitting the target and not giving us rebounds or wearing down their goalie. We'll just keep hoping one of those shots eventually goes in. Meanwhile I'll make no adjustments and I'll keep telling you how well you're playing especially on our penalty kill."

    Face it, he was out-coached. Did you see his face when they did close-ups on him as the game wore on? He looked stressed and perplexed. Fargo looked relaxed and like he was having fun.
    Maybe if you paid more attention to the game & less to coaches faces you would have noticed the Colgate blocked as many shots as WI missed and made twice as many saves than Wi misses.

    It is sad that some people assume a team can never be beaten they can only choke. Sometimes the other team plays better or makes more of their chances and you just tip you hat & say "well done". Nobody choked anything (well, maybe you but what you do on your own time is your business) Friday. Two very good teams lost to two teams that were just a little better on Friday. In the WCHA I expect a lot more competition than we have seen previously & if the East is not just Clarkson that will carry over to the NC$$ finals. It won't be fun having to accept losses but the reward will be a lot more great games

        It’s amazing what happens when you get more than 15 shots on Wisconsin!

          Is this really the wagon you want to jump on?
          Easy pickens?
          Is that why you are on this board?

            Not really. Stating a fact. You will not beat Wisconsin if you don’t get a decent quantity of shots on goal. They have good goaltending but they are not use to seeing a lot of shots. Get a couple in and it has an impact on the confidence and you have to take advantage of it. That is what I saw in the Colgate game.

              I'm not unhappy. In fact I have been pretty clear that I thought my team didn't have it this year & tipped my hat to the great job done by Clarkson & Colgate. Sorry if that upsets you. I think I know how the other wo stooges feel but I won't speak for them.

              Arm & I both replied identifying that your view of the game was wrong. ARM was, as is his nature, nicer about it than me but that does not change that there was no unhappiness only a correction with some facts that you seemed to have missed.

                The only fact you missed is that I'm never wrong.

                            During the pre-FF press-conference, a reporter asked MJ what is goalie plan was prior to Soup showing up (what a great question!). MJ could have gone down a couple different roads there, but he just said it's not worth discussing speculation. I thought he would say the plan was whoever practiced the best would get the nod early in the season. I am still shocked he played no one else a single minute all year in goal. Cece had equal experience going into the season, sure is a credit to Soup for grabbing the spot and not letting go. I am just fascinated how he will handle the logjam next year.

                              Maddy Rolfes (happy birthday!), my daughter Maddy's favorite player, named to the all USCHO first team! Quite a great take by the USCHO voters picking a defense first D for the first team.

                                Did any of them redshirt? Any insight into if Kronish will redshirt? Are goalie spots so coveted that a strong goalie is lucky just to grab a spot on a D1 bench for a season or two? Off season questions...
