airmail Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 We didn't play great, but UW isn't exactly a terrible team. At least not as terrible as Schloss' "What Happened to Wisconsin" article would lead everyone to believe. A kick in the pants will help my favorite squad, but I never had any expectations of them blowing UW out of the building in the first place. Hoping for a solid effort and a win tonight. Quote

bigskyvikes Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Where is gfhockey? I fully expected him on here saying tippett would have won that one, or Blais would have had the boys ready to play .... blah blah blah nattyA lot of new names on here saying dumb sh*tt are you sure he's not here? Lol, look up one. Edit, that's one from your original post... Edited November 7, 2015 by bigskyvikes Quote
SiouxTupa Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 The guys definitely got outskated for 75% of the game. Hrynkiw wasn't too bad, maybe only the 3rd goal could be on him. I think all three Wisc goals saw Stecher and Ausmus on the ice. The D was just slow in general. UW gave the forwards zero space, but when the guys did get open they played it way cute This was a bad loss, but it shows a completely different style of play to them. Need to see much more tenacity tonight. Quote
Fetch Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Seemed the 1st 2 periods were all a struggle to get the puck in then dump at blue line & chase with 1 or 2 & change lines - hard for 1 or 2 on 5 to get much donePlus they were beating us in just about every phase of the game skating passing shooting & yes coaching Edited November 7, 2015 by Fetch Quote
Emerald joker Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I want to know why in the first period the Wisconsin guy didnt get a roughing penalty for punching Stecher in the face, thats contact to the head, shouldnt that be a 5and the game? Ok not going that far but at least a roughing penalty? 1 Quote
Fetch Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) That one ref was blind & cripple later in the game almost looked like he broke a hip or butt bone Edited November 7, 2015 by Fetch Quote
OETKB Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wisco played fast, disciplined, inspired hockey. Their goalie was good, too. UND pulled one of it's typical "home flat" nights (seems like 2 or 3 of those happen every season), and there you go, bad loss for UND.This weekend may go a long way in teaching the team to play hard-nosed hockey. We shall see how they respond tonight. Quote
MafiaMan Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Eaves did his homework, and their goalie stood tall.And if DH was behind the UND bench, this board would be in flames this morning because of how unprepared the team was against an inferior opponent. I guess somewhere during the time-frame between Dave Haskstol leaving for Philly and last night, Mike Eaves transformed into Toe Blake and the Badgers morphed into the 1972 Soviet team. 2 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hak's teams were more likely to be 1-6-2 instead of 6-1-2 at this stage. Berry gets at least one pass......heck we gave Hak how many passes just in F4 games. 2 Quote
Goon Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 That one ref was blind & cripple later in the game almost looked like he broke a hip or butt boneThe biggest cheer of the game was for Ausmus' hit on the ref. Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wow, this is intelligence at its finest here...Oxbow6 and I don't agree on a lot of things (especially politics), but he's an intelligent poster who offers a lot of good insights on all of our programs. And I happen to think he is right on this topic as well. Believe that. 1 Quote
tnt Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 This, and why if the goalie is holding the puck and the opponent pushes him into the net is it a goal? And why would it not be reviewed? Yeah, noticed they just tried to pitchfork his pads over the goal line. How about reviewing that. Was hoping we could get that 2 goal lead and get Wisconsin thinking "here we go again". Quote

The officiating was abysmal, for sure. Whistles were in the pockets, and just about anything and everything passed for hockey. I almost choked when LJ got called for holding when I'd already seen several such instances from both sides. I'm guessing we'll see the other side of the coin tonight...ref's might whistle everything and start a parade to the box. We just need to play for sixty tonight like we played the last 20 last night and keep our hands on our sticks. That, and keep getting Caggs the puck down low. :-) GO SIOUX!!! Quote

GO SIOUX!!!There was a lot of interference that went uncalled last night. I can think of two specific instances where the UW players interfered with a UND player in the slot and went uncalled. The one that made me cringe was the one that happened right before LJ's penalty. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wow, this is intelligence at its finest here...And to think I didn't even stay at a HIE last night................ 1 Quote
Emerald joker Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I still want to know why Stecher getting punched in the face wasnt called, was it cuz he didnt punch back so they would both go? So we now know you can punch and not get a penalty and you can push the goalie in the net and get a goal 1 Quote

Godsmack Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 About now would be apropos for MafiaMan to share some soothing, calming words to talk us all off the ledge and move on from last night! Quote
Fetch Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wouldn't u think they would have known Wisconsin would play us that way ?Did they just do it so well we could not break it ? Quote
