Wisconsin Hockey 2018-2019 Part 2: Still not time for the witty thread title.

We played really well the first half of the game, but once Tiscke went down you could see the defense begin to wear down, you knew it was only a matter of time. And Inamoto finds the absolute worst times to take penalties, it's amazing. We're missing Miller, Tiscke is hurt and Inamoto puts us down a 3rd defenseman not once, but twice.

As far as the play at the end of the period, Barrett knew time was going to expire, and decided to hammer Kalynuk into the boards as the horn sounded. You could hear the referee some over the feed and he did call a penalty at the end, although I don't see it reflected in the stats on USCHO.com. And yeah, Tony, Oz, Stroebel and Winchester were all out on the ice yelling at the Penn State players afterwards. Probably not the wisest thing for them to do, but I understand why they were upset.

Lebedeff seemed out of position several times, but the kid made some fantastic saves when we needed them most. Malone and Dooghie had huge games as well. Tomorrow night should be interesting, I hope Tiscke and Kalynuk are both on the ice, we need both of them.

I wonder if they will fly Bunz in to play D if they know Tischke can't go?

Boarding and lifts his arm into head of Kalynuk. Should have been a DQ.

Barratt is a heady player, can't tell me he didn't know the game was over. We'll see what the B1G says overnight. I'd definitely kick the kid tomorrow. No room for that kind of BS in the college game.

The Finnish Hammer was great tonight. That's the kind of play we need in the post season. PK was pretty great tonight too.

Radio postgame they did say it was a 5 min and DQ, so he's out tomorrow. Also a 2 min minor for roughing for badgers and 2 minutes for bench

Refs-- I don't often ***** about Refs, but Achan gets hooked on a scoring chance and they take him for embellishment. Ok fine. But our boys touch a PSU player in front of the net, (or behind the net in the case Baker) they go down like they were shot, and get a couple of Power Plays. Let them play or don't, I dont care, but just be freakin' consistent.

Winnie gets a penalty too? He must have said something because I can't imagine what else it was for. Funny, Cole Hults is listed at 6'2" and on skates and he still has to look up at Winchester. Probably shouldn't run into that guy.

It was checking from behind ATW and a game misconduct. Not a DQ. That would have to come from the B1G office at this point because the refs are pansies.

How does a coach get a game misconduct? That's a new one for me.

Tischke leaving just a couple minutes into the game and not returning at all wouldn't seem to bode well for him being able to go tonight.

I thought our Defensemen were really exceptional overall. Sure, there were a few lapses here and there, you can't always make every play, but they were excellent at covering the long breakout resulting in several icing calls, they were excellent on covering the rushes in position, and good at killing plays quickly and turning the puck around. When you consider that Peltonen didn't play much late, it took a big effort with huge minutes from Kalynuk, Inamoto, Ess, and Emberson to effectively keep PSU in check. It's concerning as to whether those four can comeback physically with the same effort and tenacity it's going to take to end PSU's season tonight. Forwards are going to have to be extra sharp on the back check as well as work even harder to keep more possession in the O-zone. It's super hard to end anyone's season, but the best chance will be tonight.

Badgers were really good at getting to their game plan from the puck drop and sticking to it all night. I think they can play better, but when things aren't going great in the flow of the game, it was encouraging to see them just keep working within the structure and not fall apart.

Gotta believe tempers will be flaring after last night, but have to keep in mind that the best revenge is to send the other guys to the golf course early.

Anyone got video of Brad Winchester "pushing" Cole Hults?

I'd sure like to see it. No idea why Hults got involved. If somebody gets in your face, you don't stand down. If Brad approached him and initiated, that's different.

Either way, the little ***** Barratt started it with a cowardly hit from behind AFTER the horn. I'm old school; I don't have a problem with a tussle but be a man and face the man.

Give me a sec to upload to youtube. Hults ran into Winchester and Winchester pushed him away.

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN2XVKBuDVE

So if Winchester gets a game misconduct for that, does Hults get a game misconduct for running into him?

I love how the announcers are like "one of the Wisconsin assistants trying to shove Cole Hults." Yeah, Winchester shouldn't shove Hults, but Hults shouldn't be running into coaches on the ice! That's incredibly disrespectful and immature on Hults' part.

Also, don't really like Granato getting into it with Penn State players. Don't be a goon, be a good coach. Playing days are over.

Barratt suspended one game. That's a pretty big deal. He is their second leading scorer.

Winnie suspended too. He must have said something is the only thing I can imagine. Unless there was some other off camera deal.

Absolutely no question Barratt should be out. Can't do that at the horn and not have to pay any price. Obviously the refs, once they deemed it a major, should have DQ'd him right away, but whatever.

I believe Barratt was only back from injury last Saturday so PSU has played some without him. I'm not sure it's as big of a blow to PSU as losing Tischke would be to us. There was some mentions that Kalynuk could be questionable for tonight too. If he has to undergo concussion protocol I'd imagine he could be out.

[MadCityRich]

Jeezus. Last night paid attendance at The Mooch was about 1800 and some on their forum mentioned much less in house.

I was watching that game while listening to the Badgers and I was shocked.

****.
