Good Badgers PP?!? Bad MSU PK?!? What's with this power play productivity? The second goal, the one that involved a quick pass behind the goal, then to the slot (it made kind of a triangle), seemed to be something that was the result of quick and productive puck movement, not MSU just stinking it up.

Can't wait to hear the post-game comments from Eaves. Badgers have had way more power plays than Michigan State. We all know how he believes those should always be roughly equal, not earned.

Can't wait forJdubbs to quit trolling and stay in his own teams threads.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Can anyone figure out what the deal is with these power-hungry Big Ten linesmen? For the first half of the season they would wait for ages, kick one player out, then drop the puck without hesitation. They stopped doing that habitually, but now the linesman without the puck is kicking guys out of the faceoff circle all the time. I have never seen that before this weekend, and now I've seen it a few times.

Not the most exciting game, but a win is a win.

Nice salute to the seniors, especially at the end of the game when the guys lined up and said goodbye to the students. I admit I got a little teary-eyed.

now lets sweep the next 4 .....win the b6 tourney...and lock in a number 1 seed

Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Very unscientific research indicates Wisconsin likely won't get a 1 seed unless they do something crazy like win out and win the Big Ten tournament. Obviously possible, but not probable. There's also a possibility (but again, not probable) that they miss the NCAA's if they would happen to lose out the rest of the way.

It's very possible 1 win in their next 5 games will still allow the Badgers to sneak in the tournament. 2 wins and they are a virtual lock. That should be the next goal in my opinion, win two to lock up a bid.

Given that it's an uphill battle (and not a likely one at that, unless the rodents fall apart completely) to win the first conference title, I'd agree. Although I would add the caveat that I want to see hardware in the first B1G tourney.

I agree Chuck. I would like to see the Badgers get enough wins (which they should) to be a solid 2 seed at the start of the B10 tournament. That way we wont be sweating out the NCHC or Cinderella's in the WCHA or Atlantic Hockey tournaments.

I had predicted that UW's season loss total would be in the single digits. There's only 1 way that will hold true. Make it happen lads.

Talked to someone this week who painted a much rosier picture in regards to Kerdiles/McCabe returning than I had previously envisioned. Could mean absolutely nothing, but I did raise an eyebrow.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXIX: Yes, this is the Rumpel Rink!

Yeah, unless that someone was Kerdiles or McCabe, I'd take it all with a grain of salt.

I might even take it with a grain of salt if that person was Kerdiles or McCabe. Or LaBate, for that matter.

Even with your disclaimer, it raised a few eyebrows on my head. And I only have 2.
