Win Streak

Despite some great play Saturday it was an ok weekend. Alabama-Huntsville are like midgets to St. Cloud. Except their bigfoot looking goalie. Anyways they were terrible and only got 10 shots on goal the entire game.
Sunday the Badgers had zero motivation but still came out with a shootout win. The bad side is that yet another forward is injured and we have 2 defensive guys in the WJC.
We are gonna need a little hope for next weekend. Pretty soon we might need some players!

I wish I had an update for ya......

BUT I DON'T. The Badgers haved played since the 6th and won't play again until the 27th so I don't have much to say in the meantime.

Happy Holidays.

A Win and a Loss

The Badgers didn't play outstanding last night but they won so I guess it doesn't really matter. They almost gave up a 3 goal lead though. McBain made some great takeaways and as much as I don't care for our goalie, he is the reason they won. He made many odd man rush saves and 2 one and one saves. I think he got a little concerned when Geoffrion went down and played a little worse for a bit before he realized that he needed to make the key saves to keep the team alive. Overall the game was kind of boring. The student section made up a couple new cheers that nobody could understand. Hopefully they can pull out something tonight without Gardiner and Geoffrion on the ice. McDonagh is also hurting, but he's playing through his pain.

Badgers Sweep

The Badgers swept the College Hockey Showcase this weekend. They beat Michigan State on Friday is what felt like a game that wasn't going their way, and beat Michigan Saturday.

Friday nights game was just strange. It felt like there was an opposite magnet in the puck keeping it from going in the net. The Badgers had plenty of shots that should have gone in and some that were wide open. Though it seemed like nothing was going right, it was almost as if everybody knew the game was a gimme. We got more excited about the score of the Minnesota game when they were losing 5 to 1.

Saturday night I honestly was thinking we had no chance in hell after seeing the whooping they gave the Gophers. The game was pretty lull but the Badgers came out and got it done in the third period. Again the most exciting part was watching the Gophers losing to Michigan State (which ended in a 4 all tie).

In other news, I read somewhere that Ben Street is leaning towards redshirting. yea! You have no idea how excited I was about that!!
