Good win last night. Did they ever say why Pulver instead of Hauser this weekend? Pulver looked off on a few angles last night.

1-0 after period two doesn’t really reflect how dominant UW has been IMO

Finley missed the net on his breakaway...had him too.

It felt like we had several high quality chances tonight. Nice to come away with the W again tonight.

This team has looked very good all season. Dexheimer looks like an all-American and a future NHL player.

Never got word on Hauser. Obviously pretty weird to pull him for this series so I would expect he is dealing with some injury

He was the only backup today. Im guessing its because they gave up 10 goals last weekend.

I guess so. Change it up. Pulver looked better tonight

Up to #2 in the USCHO Poll:  https://www.uscho.com/rankings/d-i-mens-poll

#2 in the NPI (still?):  https://www.uscho.com/rankings/npi/d-i-men

Q:  is Pairwise different than NPI?  I know they are related, but didn't know if they were really the same thing.

They are different.  NPI is what they will use this year.  I think the biggest difference is you don't get boosted for beating bad teams and you don't get hit as bad for losing to good teams.

Shaping up to be a fun second half of the season.

Home series with Michigan and Michigan State and Penn State and Notre Dame and and a non-conference with Alaska Anchorage.

[RedStickBrew]

Not the best start tonight. Badgers had a goal erased by a quick whistle but gave up two in the first

[RedStickBrew]

Pulver pulled for Hauser in the second. Badgers even it up quick at 2-2 before giving up a PP goal

[RedStickBrew]

Badgers come right back and tie it at 3-3. Badgers really controlling the play just need to be a little better in net

[RedStickBrew]

Wow, 4 second period goals by UW. Palodichuk with 2 pretty snipes and the Badgers pull ahead 4-3

[RedStickBrew]

Exchanged goals early in the third period then Bucky with a couple empty netters to cap off the 7-4 victory. 
Hauser looked pretty good down the stretch. Made some nice saves under duress later in the third period

Didn't get to watch or listen to this one. Sure is nice being able to score more than two goals a game.

9 goals should be enough to win most games I’d think. Agree it’s nice to get scoring from everywhere and not just relying on a couple guys. Fun year so far

Really looking forward to the second half. 

Fun team to watch.

Bucky looked a little rusty today but still got the win against lakes Superior State. 3-2.

Three of our better players are playing in the world Juniors and it definitely showed.

Play tomorrow when the championship game.

[yourout]

I have no idea what the referees were looking at when they allowed that goal to stand. He just shoved the defender into the net.

[yourout]

Rough second.. 

Probably the worst period they played in a long time. 

Legs look like they have a holiday hangover.
