The Whistler

Gotta give credit where credit's due. Great save.

Umm, I would be one of them. Hitting someone when his head's down when the game is all but over is kinda unnecessary. I don't even mind it that it was called a charge at that point of the game. If the game was on the line it would have been a bad call. Not that I'm in favor of situational officiating in general.

It wasn't charging, it wasn't from behind and it had no chance of drilling his head into the boards. It also was while play was continuing.

I was at UND while he was there and I was and still am very afraid of Archie.

Gennoway was pretty feisty last night. He got right in it when TJ was high sticked after his goal and then was apparently right in it during the big altercation. (Going by the announcers rather than the video.)

Well I would say that more so it was the Wisconsin player that jumped Watkins after he took down Turris that got all of the players involved. Let's see these punks do that in the AHL or NHL. Turris also was slashing Jones but needed someone to help him out there too. (That was Turris wasn't it?) But, if a player went after Kaip for the hit (clean as it might be) I wouldn't mind it. Sticking up for your teammates is what you expect.

We just plain took that guy out of the game. I haven't seen us give so much attention to a specific player in a long time.

Too bad it led to losing the shutout.

I'm thinking it will be on youtube sometime soon....

Just the 10 minute kind, no fighting penalties I believe.

Did you see the interview of Newberry during the first intermission. Eades must have landed a few on Newberry's head.

Pansy, did you see that Eaves shook hands with Hak and then started bitching behind his back?

Nice fighting technique by the Badgers, three of them jump the Sioux from behind.

Great, I think we can pretty much count on Clear Channel to have technical difficulties now.

Great point.

He should have 3 years of eligibility left..... Seriously a team needs three goalies so this puts us in a bind.

It's definately a tradeoff between speed and puck handling against the physical game whether your put Marto or Jones out there. CC has a great forecheck and I thought Marto helped us out when he was in Saturday.

I like the Kaip line. But I think the bottom two lines are going to get mixed and matched until something gels.

I haven't checked yet but these games are often put on the fSN North Wisconsin alternate feed. If you have Directo TV then you get it with your regular package. I would think you'd get it everywhere with your sports pack. In the past Mid Continent has picked that up that feed. It's maybe worth a call.

I agree about Martens, but I don't think Radke picked up any penalties last night. I imagine it has something to do with being a senior benched for two games. I really like Marten's effort.

Fire Hak?

Good thing we let him come back for one more year after all.

Dum De Dum Dum Dum Dee Dum Dum Dum!

I thought the players on the fourth line had some good moments. The line as a unit didn't so much. I predict some changes tonight.

My thoughts back from the game. I didn't think the fourth line chemistry was there. I think we'll see a change. Look for Radke to get suited up Saturday. Add a little more physical play. I don't see Hak letting CC clip one of our players without beefing up the lineup. CC's forecheck gave the D a lot of problems, too many struggles to get the puck out of the zone. I think that's more a factor of CC's efforts than any failing on our part. Oshie's like a man among boys out there. (Not that it hasn't been said already) Lammy played awesome. CC had some great chances in the 1st. If he doesn't make those stops the game's in jeopardy.
