They seem to be trying to make an amazing extra pass rather than  just shoot it it. I think I've seen two or three where they shoulda taken the shot but instead tried to make a tough pass.

come back for the 2nd period with a little more fire and energy and take advantage of the rest of the PP.  They just look a step or two slower today than they did last night. 

At #17, a loss today would inflict severe damage on our chances for the NCAA Tournament.

After watching the replay of that goal, I am even more of the opinion that it was a bad idea for Racine to poke that puck up the slot. It left the puck in a dangerous area and got him down out of position. The Badger who had crossed in front had already gone by and was being checked.

Could maybe be a threat to spin around and take a whack at the puck, but better IMO for Racine to stay up and square, especially if he can't sweep the puck to the side. Let your teammates come and clear it. Or if they don't, at least there's not as much of an angle to score when the puck is close.
