Michigan v. Wisconsin (Hockey) Open Thread

Submitted by BiSB on February 6th, 2010 at 6:15 PM

The Camp Randall Hockey Classic, Big Ten Network 1-0 Badgers early; Hogan gave up (another) softy when he wouldn't control a rebound. Damn cheeseheads.

Bryan Hogan continues to make great saves on tough shots and fuck up the easy ones.

Looked to me like that goal may have hit someone in front. Still could/should have been saved though. Is it me or does the lighting look a bit dim?

Maybe it isn't much different for the players, but for a television audience it is noticably different. And now it seems that Hogan has broken the rink already.

They made it take longer by attempting to pack the dry powder in there first. They should have busted out the water from the start.

I could hear some crowd noise, but I didn't realize it was our fans until they showed the audience and I could see them pointing. Props to everyone there representing Yost.

I'm not so sure about this one. It will be very dark in Wisconsin probably by the middle of the second period at least. I wonder if the lighting will affect the goalies' abilities to see the puck. As it gets darker, I'd tell my team to just start firing shots to see what happens. The ice in these games always seems terrible. The puck jumps all over the place, and the players don't seem to be skating full bore. And Red Berenson behind the bench in nothing but a suit? No hat? I hope he doesn't turn purple like Tom Coughlin did in that Green Bay-Giants game from a couple years ago.

Hagelin gets boarded from behind... and Davies only gets two minutes. That was a dangerous, unneccesary hit, and should have been 5 minutes.

We are doubled up in shots after 1. How is it going for those watching? Are we okay so far?

They came out slow and sloppy. Still don't look great but they turned it on towards the end of the period.

Chris brown beat the UW goalie to the glove side above his shoulder--but hit the crossbar. S/B 2-1 UM.

Pretty good puck control, and a few odd-man rushes that didn't produce great chances. I think the play was pretty even in the first period, and if teh game continues like this, we have a chance.

I think they'll come out with more effort to begin the period and use their speed to open up the ice. But then again the ice issues may not allow that.

wisky is playing really hard. full court press. they're hitting hard and giving us a lot of pressure. definitely playing like a 3rd ranked team.

The forecheck has been pretty good so far. They've produced a couple of turnovers, and haven't allowed Wisky much momentum out of their own zone.
