The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. After the Badgers dropped back-to-back winnable games against Minnesota, watching Wisconsin men’s hockey is starting to feel like insanity.
It almost looked like the Wisconsin Badgers (2-8 overall, 1-5 B1G) flipped the script on Friday night in Madison. Junior Kyle Kukkonen scored just over a minute into the second period to establish a 2-0 lead. But from that moment on, the Badgers committed a slew of self-inflicted mistakes that made it impossible to overcome the No. 3 Minnesota Gophers (9-1 overall, 4-0-1 B1G).
