NORTH DAKOTA vs. WISCONSIN - Saturday


AZSIOUX

Recommended Posts

Good solid win, kind of a sloppy 3rd period but that was a little expected being up 4-0. Anyone else notice the Wisconsin player squirting the crowd with the water bottle when Mersch jumped off the bench to try to fight Pattyn. It looked like the postgame coaches handshake was a litlle more intense than usual, think Hak may have had a message to send Eaves off with. Couple very important games next weekend that will probably have a huge impact on playoff seeding, gotta build off this game and get a nice streak going.

was at the game and saw the water squirting.... Also, is it a game DQ for jumping off the bench to get involved?

Been awhile since I've seen that much holding, after the whistle crap, slashing, etc. UW seemed more interested in injuring someone tonight than playing hockey, especially after they got behind 2-3 goals.

Getting that first goal on them tonight was huge. Forced them to play a bit more open, which they don't look comfortable doing at all. That made them take all sorts of penalties and give up some great chances. Kristo was snakebit tonight...he could have had 2-3 goals himself but couldn't get one to connect.

I wouldn't be disappointed at all if we don't see Wisco the rest of the season.

My one problem with this nights game was not seeing Pattyn throw down finally. There hasn't been a player I've wanted to see in a fight as much since Pirpich (other than Hextal of course). That would have been as satisfying as seeing little #7 fold like a lawn chair after Jim gave him a jab in one of the scrums..

If we play with the same edge and purpose physicality wise the rest of the season few teams will be able to handle it. The 4th line was unreal tonight Jim and manrod threw people around all night and cycled like crazy. They played like men.

What I/we finally saw last night was a team play with a sense of urgency and purpose. That was a top 5 team in the country last night. Have to carry it forward though.

Pattyn's line was the best line on both teams all night. Rodwell finally decided to play like he is capable of. Jim is just flat out solid.

Let's be honest...WI sucks. They are SCSU w/o a PP unit. They dive and look to instigate then turtle...pathetic. The last four series we have seen one good team...Minny. CC and WI are marginal to poor. SCSU is OK if they can play special teams but nothing special.

Zane looks like he is grabbing the goalie job. One hiccup...zero reason to leave the net like he did in a 4-0 game.
