Wisconsin could have won on Friday night with a little more consistent
effort from the blueline and the goaltending.  Jim Carey was really
hot last weekend against North Dakota but on Friday night he looked
quite average.  The overtime goal was an errant shot that appeared
to hit Carey's body as went down to cover the near post.  The puck was
redirected into the net.  Denver really worked hard for the victory.
 
On Saturday, Wisconsin jumped out to an early lead and controlled
the play well.  Two late power play goals by Denver made the game look
closer than it really was.  Wisconsin outshot the opponents (shots on goal)
for only the 5th time this year.  Two big weekend series are coming up:
@ St Cloud this week and Minn-Duluth @ home the weekend after.
