The University of Wisconsn Badgers play host to the Gophers in a weekend matchup of two programs that desperately miss the WCHA. Unlike most weekends, I won't just be there in spirit; I'll be covering the games live. Check out this week's preview of the series and review of last week's action.
In last weekend's highlighted series, I looked at a reeling Gophers team that had come under fire through numerous media outlets for a percieved attitude problem. In their series against the MSU Spartans, the Gophers answered back with two strong, 60-minute games. Their efforts last weekend won't silence critics who have pointed to struggles on the ice as evidence of immaturity off the ice, but they did bolster their position in the standings and pushed the Gophers above .
