Wisconsin Hockey

[cweber39]

I don't think there is much of a casual fan audience for hockey.

I disagree, go to an Admirals game, 90% of them are casual fans. Any other hockey such as NCAA or NHL, they are all serious fans.

I am a huge Badger Hockey fan. When I was in the UW Band, we hung out with a few of the guys from the 1990 Championship team. We used to play softball a lot by the lakeshore dorms.

 

Once we were going to play and the guys were trying to get a hold of Curtis Joseph to play with us. When we were walking over to the field, we ran into him and said he couldn't play because he was going to hang out with his girlfriend. We gave him a lot of ****, that's for sure.

 

I remember growing up listening to Paul Brown on PBS. I would stay up late to watch the games. What a trill to actually get to see the games in person while I was with the band.

I always enjoy the Mankato State games where they chant "Gopher rejects."

It made me happy when Wisconsin fans chanted "St Cloud rejects" during the Gopher series a few years ago. Personally, I think Mankato needs more "Screaming Eagles" references.

Looks like I will be going to the 12/1 game against St. Cloud State this year.

It is ridiculous that this afternoon's game is not (my understanding) on TV. What the hell else is FSN going to show, Summer Saunders counting down the 20 greatest sports hair cuts of all time? grrr Im sure it will be way better than 2 top 15 hockey teams. Now that the networks split, I probably wouldnt even get to watch the RPI-Goofer game. Man I wish I had satellite or could get it.

I just realized they're broadcasting some games on the Big Ten Network. Excellent. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

They play on FSN Wisconsin next Friday vs Robert Morris.

 

They also broadcast the College Hockey Showcase against Michigan and Michigan State. Can't wait for the Michigan game at Yost Ice Arena. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

You all know my history with badger sports, but i was a basketball game fella. i would go to the hockey games on friday nights to get hammered with my bandos. we'd always sneak a nalgene bottle with some mixer into the game.

[SheetsCyYoung04]

Well either I underestimated Wisconsin or Notre Dame badly overachieved last season as the Badgers overcame twice the penalties as the Irish to upset them 4-1.

[logan82]

I don't think it is even going to be on PBS tonight.

Outstanding,to bad it wasn't on TV

Keep in mind Wisconsin was ranked first at the start of the year last year. Check out the recruiting ratings in the first link.

Is the Wisconsin/Ohio St. game on TV anywhere tonight? Looks like Bucky had a nice game to start the season.

[logan82]

I would guess no going by this schedule.

Games on 1070 AM right now. 3-2 OSU at the 1st break. Any one know of any stations closer to Wausau that are airing the game because 1070 comes in and out for me.

[bthurley19]

Rough day for Wisconsin sports as the Football and Hockey team both drop games. Ohio St. scored twice after the Badgers tied it up at 3. 5-3 final. The season for Badgers hockey still looks bright as Turris seems to be the real deal.

[paul253]

who scored for the badgers tonight?

[brewcrewman17]

Making this comment is akin to being in a huge ballroom where everyone is talking about one particular subject and whispering aloud to no one in particular something about a closely related subject, but here it goes anyway:

 

Women's hockey: 5-0, junior goaltender Jessie Vetter has 4 shutouts on the season already, haven't lost in 31 games back to last season (a streak they started the game after losing a similarly long unbeaten streak) - I'll say it again like I said at the beginning of this thread: this team is something special.

[trwi7]

who scored for the badgers tonight?

 

Jamie McBain, Ben Street and Kyle Turris.

[SheetsCyYoung04]

I dont care too much about sweaters but not a big fan of the tie down or the numbering on these:

I wouldn't have expected 2 goals in the first 2 games for Turris. Usually freshman take untill around Christmas to get used to college hockey.

[paul253]

Don't forget about 2 assists as well. 4 points in 2 games is pretty good. Does anyone have any idea how he compares to Phil Kessel or Dany Heatly?

[SheetsCyYoung04]

Well Ive yet to see him play but he has a thinner frame (170) then both Kessel (185), and Heatley(200). From what I've read he is type of player who is always a treat to create a scoring opportunity when he has the puck in the offensive zone. His shots are accurate and he has great vision. Maybe a Zach Parise comparison, though Turris doesnt have Bochinski so Im not expecting 60 points. I think 50 points is realistic, but since he will always draw the other teams top line, I dont think it is the expectation.

[logan82]

What happened to Saggisor?

[danzig6767]

Tonight was my first chance to watch Turris,he looks to have a great accurate shot.Just one of those naturally gifted goal scorers that the Badgers program so badly needed after last years snooze fest offense.

 

We took alot of penalties and had to kill off at least four five on three situations.Against a better team those penalties could have been much costlier.
