Hey the reverse jinx worked!

Not sure if anyone saw Game 7 of the Jets-Blues series, but wow. One of the most intense sporting events I have ever witnessed. Jets give up two early goals. They get one back in the second, but

After a long MISERABLE sports week there was a bright spot, the Wisconsin Women's Hockey team.  They just won the Ice Breaker tournament hosted by Union this weekend.    They are now 8-0 and not skipp

My only gripe is i wish the would stop with the stupid backwards pass with a defender trailing.

 

That's the new 'it' thing to get the defense on the heels and have speed entering the zone. It is annoying when it doesnt work, but I prefer it compared to Eaves dump and chase.

It has its use but far too often this weekend they would try it with the defender right behind them and he ended up intercepting the pass.

Possibly. I did read some analytics that showed the percentage of a goal scored when entering the zone with control compared to not was like...30%.

 

I'm certain no one wants a BLT to give an odd man rush, but I imagine they practice/discuss those sort of things. Also probably why we see Kalynuk lead most of the rushes.

Boy that was a big stinky turd they left on the ice tonight

 

I saw the final but wasnt able to catch any action. Clarkson is a solid team though, so it shouldn't be too surprising. Everyone was riding high after last weekend though. I'm heading to the game tonight with the wife and young daughter. Curious to see how she does, bit I am expecting to only make it about a period with her.

The goaltending on this team terrifies me and I don't think the defense is going to help the goalie that much.

 

Your not wrong.

Need a better goalie.

Kalynuk had been pretty bad so far this year as well.

 

How can a team be this Dreadful at faceoffs for 4 years straight.

It's crazy. I thought Lindmark was this stud faceoff guy and he never seems to be in on big draws.

I really thought with the talent influx this team is going to be able to go toe-to-toe with Penn State but alas it's no contest

 

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that Granato is not the guy to turn this around.

It's weird. Some games they look really good and others they look...meh. Although they got whooped last night they had a 37 - 22 advantage with the puck. Crazy they lost 6-1.

 

Also, if they win tonight they will have 3 losses...all to possible tourny teams with 4 wins against possible tourny teams.

It's really hard to win against good teams with very average goal tending.

Especially the way the Badgers want to activate defensemen.

True. Didnt they have some good recruit back out a year or two ago?

Tough way to lose.

Goalie was the difference.

 

Yes. However, defense zone was a mess during all but 1 of NDs goals. Also, Caufield goes 0-2 on breakaways? Shocking.

Houston...... We've got a coaching problem.

 

How can a team with this much talent be this bad at breakaways?

They must be O for their last 20 on breakaways.

If your team struggles at breakaways, it’s a coaching problem?
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Sorry. That was not my intent.

 

Just meant as a side note that they are really awful at breakaways.
