Badger Hockey 2010-2011

[hawing]

Drop the puck!

 

(I'll assume limited responsibility for the Badgers' loss vs. Boston U last night by not starting the new season's thread until the next night. Sorry, Bucky.)

[logan82]

I believe this thread stating a day late is the sole reason our entire season is doomed.

DFA Eaves!

Even though Friday night was a loss, they played well. This team is so young.......but there is a lot of tallent, so it should be a fun season.

 

Cannot wait until the home opener next weekend!

[Buckylovesbeer]

Badgers bounce back in a big way, win Sunday 6-0.

 

Early games make it look like this team will be aggressive and score a lot. Defense could be an issue.....penalty kill struggled on Friday, bounced back well Sunday.....

 

Craig Smith, who was kicked out early Friday, had two goals today. He is going to be very, very good this year.

 

GO Bucky!

Paid for the webcast of these games and it was broken for today's game, which was kind of frustrating when I saw the score. Would have been nice to see the team bounce back today.

 

Plan on going to the Alabama Huntsville game next Sunday and have our first Saturday night game on the 30th. I can't wait.

Had a nice destruction of Alabama-Huntsville tonight, 7-0. Scored 4 power play goals. We looked pretty good, but then again it was a pretty bad team we went up against.

[trwi7]

Loved watching the Gophers go down 4-0 to Nebraska-Omaha at home, then come back to tie it at 4 with under 4 minutes left only to have the Mavericks score with a little over 1:30 left.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Badgers complete the sweep of Alabama Huntsville 5-2 on Sunday.

 

This team is going to be fun. Very high energy, and a ton of offensive talent. They will have some problems with Defense, where we are slower and very offensive-minded, and they take a lot of penalties - Sunday's game should have been a bigger blowout, however, Bucky was in the box a ton and were in danger of being outshot by Huntsville Sunday. (Friday, UW outshot AH by about 30)

 

Craig Smith is great. His only problem is that he takes the most penalties of any stud I have ever seen......when he stays on the ice he is great.

 

But 3-1 to start the year is not bad. Go Bucky!

Bucky travels to Denver this weekend. Game one, tonight (Friday) at 8:30, on FSN. Would be nice for the boys to really get on a roll.

 

Also....a very nice article today in the State Journal about Jordy Murray.

 

Go Bucky!

Amazing, a Badger game on in the Milwaukee area!

 

That's two Badger games so far to three for the Gophers.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Oh boy.....Denver TV guys. This could be interesting.......

Gophers losing 5-0 after 2. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

The quality of the picture is that of a high school game.

[Buckylovesbeer]

trwi7 - That news made me smile! And yes, the picture from Magnuss is not very good, or is the crowd, or are the announcers. But its on TV.....thats a start!

They did score 2 in the 3rd but still, way short. Another home loss in the WCHA. Outstanding.

[logan82]

I really don't like listening to another team's homers.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Badgers lose 4-2

 

I agree. Listening to the other teams guys gets real old, real fast.

 

Jesus this team takes a ton of penalties......that killed em tonight and looks to be a big-time problem this year...

[Buckylovesbeer]

Game Two, Saturday Night - Badgers tie 2-2

 

Gotta feel a little bummed abou this one. Badgers lead 2-0 with 11mins to go in the third period, only to let two in to lose the win. Gudmanson was in goal for the second night in a row (Eaves playing a hunch that Goodie would respond after his loss from the night before) and was solid for 50 mins. Too bad we needed him for 60! Very curious that Brett Bennett was not in the net.....he had been playing very well and has looked great this year.

 

Tough one to swallow....for sure. Michigan Tech next weekend, and holy cow, they are undefeated this year (3-0-2). But we are at home and should dominate.

 

Still like this team a lot. Lots of scoring, lots of action. I stick with my claim that they are going to struggle with the penalties, but on any given night, they are going to score a bunch.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Good Halloween Weekend

 

Friday night win 5-2

 

Saturday night win 4-1.

 

This team is beginning to play a lot better. Which is good, because they go to play the Golden Rodents next weekend, who are fresh off a sweep of CC.

[thevaccinator27]

hey go to play the Golden Rodents next weekend

 

The 6th will be my first game at the Mooch. Good season to be a road fan in Minnesota (spelling bees aside) methinks.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Go Bucky!

[logan82]

Crap, we have to watch the Gophers feed. This is gonna suck.

[Buckylovesbeer]

I agree....half way through, Badgers dominating 4-0......and yet......these TV guys sound like they have never called a game before. And apparently Minnesota has never lost anything.....
