That doesn't say anything about the glasses you are wearing, does it? Why don't you interpret that as Wisconsin was more confident they could beat Minnesota than Clarkson? Do you think the only way the "eastern" team could have beaten the "western" team was if the "western" team was overconfident?
The game was between the Wisconsin Badgers and The Clarkson Golden Knights. two very good teams. Congrats to Badgers and Clarkson on great seasons! Congrats to the Knights on 2 of the last 4!

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2016-2017
One thing that I've always liked about the women's forum is that people tend to be pretty respectful when a team's fan base is hurting, particularly in that team's thread. It is pretty small to go into the thread of a team that just lost the biggest game of the year and try to pick a fight, no matter how right you think you are. The Clarkson fans that come in here show that respect. I wish some other fans would as well."... And lose, and start again at your beginnings

Clarkson, St. Lawrence, Minnesota, and you have a nice 4 yr scheduling arrangement on the men's side. I'd like to see the women do the same thing. It would be good for the sport.CCT '77 & '78

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2016-2017
Simply put, it was a miserable end to a great season. I had no doubt that Clarkson could play with Wisconsin and I'm sure the staff and players felt the same. Considering Clarkson took them to OT earlier in the year and just beat the team that had ended their season three years in a row, the concept of them overlooking Clarkson is comical.
It's not even that Wisconsin didn't play well. I thought they played with a lot of energy and had a lot of good looks. Nurse probably puts that short-handed breakaway in the net 50% of the time. Just not today. Tiley needed to play a great game and she did just that. There were multiple scrums in front of the net that normally result in a goal. Just not today.
One thing that was not good were the penalties taken. Hard to argue any of the calls. The penalty that wiped out the goal was probably the most ill-timed penalty I've ever seen. Obviously you never know how things would have played out from there, but I feel Wisconsin would have had all the momentum. I've seen multiple games where the Badgers battled like hell for that first goal and that just seemed to loosen everyone up. Just not today.
I feel sick for the seniors. They came in when Minnesota had taken control of the WCHA and slowly, but surely, brought them back even and put up one of the best seasons in program history.

Originally posted by ARM View PostThe one that could be debated was the first call on Pankowski where they called interference, which it wasn't. If anything it was a hook, but the Clarkson player pulled the stick under her arm and kept it there.
The Roque hit on Shelton in the final minutes in particular warranted a boarding call.
