Minnesota’s Justen Close and Penn State’s Liam Folkes battle for the puck in front of Gophers goalie Jack LaFontaine on Nov. 15 at 3M Arena at Mariucci in Minneapolis (photo: Jim Rosvold).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhen Wisconsin won its first game this season with an 11-goal performance and followed that up with a sweep of Minnesota Duluth in which the Badgers outscored the Bulldogs 9-3, there was a lot of talk about a high-powered offense and what a fast start could mean to a season.<\/p>\n
After all, the Badgers had welcomed a freshman class that included forwards Cole Caufield and Alex Turcotte, players who put up impressive numbers for the U.S. National Team Development Program \u2013 126 career goals for Caufield, 46 for Turcotte \u2013 and each player made significant contributions to Wisconsin\u2019s promising start.<\/p>\n
By the end of October, Caufield had eight goals. Turcotte scored three in his first four games, and their classmate Owen Lindmark had three in his first three games.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to the fourth week of the season, though, when Penn State swept Wisconsin, limiting the Badgers to three goals on the weekend. After the 6-1 loss the first night, Wisconsin coach Tony Granato said of the Nittany Lions, \u201cThey\u2019re a mature team. A lot of upperclassmen in their lineup. They played like an experienced team that was ready for this game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mature.<\/p>\n
Experienced.<\/p>\n
Penn State has three freshmen forwards that play regularly, but the Nittany Lions have 13 skaters that have seen 10 or more games this season plus senior goaltender Peyton Jones. The Badgers have 14 freshman and sophomores who have played 11 or more games this season with sophomore Daniel Lebedeff having emerged as the starter in net.<\/p>\n
The Nittany Lions are 6-2-0 in Big Ten play, the Badgers 2-5-1-1.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do know that that is one constant that\u2019s really happened in hockey over the last decade, that younger teams have struggled and older teams are doing much better,\u201d said Minnesota coach Bob Motzko. \u201cThere are some exceptions, but that\u2019s how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
Motzko\u2019s team is the greenest in the Big Ten with eight freshman and seven sophomore skaters that have played 10 or more games \u2013 and nine underclassmen who have played every game this season.<\/p>\n
The youthful rosters have led to rocky first halves for both the Badgers and the Golden Gophers. Wisconsin is 2-3-1 in its last six games; Minnesota is 1-4-1.<\/p>\n
Granato said that his team has been stymied by slow starts in recent games. In their last four, the Badgers have been outscored 5-1 in first periods.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just been frustrating for the players and frustrating for us as coaches to watch where you just don\u2019t come out of the gate and have a lot of energy into your game,” said Granato. “You\u2019re sitting back and watching and waiting. There\u2019s teams that play that style of hockey and be patient, but we can\u2019t play that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Minnesota, Motzko said that the coaching staff working on keeping an even keel.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got 19 freshmen and sophomores, and almost all of them play,” said Motzko. “We\u2019re trying to stay off the yo-yo, and it\u2019s kind of been an every-other-week ordeal for us. We have a real strong week and then we have our foot off the gas and we\u2019ve had three just terrible Friday games.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of those Friday games was actually a Thursday \u2013 the 9-3 Thanksgiving Day loss to visiting North Dakota in which the Badgers gave up four second-period goals. The following night, though, Minnesota played far better in a 3-2 loss, pressing in the third period to tie the game but coming up short.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had moments when we\u2019ve been a really solid hockey team and we\u2019ve had weekends where\u2019s we\u2019ve been very solid,\u201d said Motzko. \u201cWe\u2019ve had moments in games, but consistency in a long stretch has been our struggle. We as a staff are trying to stay off the roller coaster.\u201d<\/p>\n
In spite of being the largest class on the ice, the eight Minnesota skaters have 11 of the Gophers\u2019 41 total goals among them. Junior Scott Reedy and sophomores Sampo Ranta and Sammy Walker account for 17 of the team\u2019s total goals. This, Motzko said, is where any experience can be an advantage.<\/p>\n
Motzko said he\u2019s confident that all of the Gophers will improve as the season progresses, but he\u2019s especially eager to see the kind of magic that a midseason break can work, turning rookies into more capable freshmen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in dire need of that and I subscribe to that wholeheartedly that a lot of hockey players,\u201d said Motzko. \u201cThe common denominators that have great second halves all have the ability. Every good player goes through a slump or a downturn, but they all come through it. Sometimes a little break helps.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Badgers will take a true break at midseason with nearly a month away from D-1 play. This weekend, Wisconsin will play its final two games of the first half when the Badgers travel to Michigan State. Wisconsin will play a New Year\u2019s Day exhibition game against the U.S. Under-18 Team and plays its next games that count at home against Ohio State Jan. 10-11.<\/p>\n
Minnesota travels to Ohio State this weekend, takes a couple of weeks off, and then hosts the Mariucci Classic Dec. 28-29. Motzko is excited for the all-Minnesota slate \u2013 Bemidji State, St. Cloud State, and Minnesota State \u2013 and is looking forward to what the second half may bring.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got good hockey players,\u201d said Motzko. \u201cI really don\u2019t believe we\u2019re going to stay where we are. I wish I could sprinkle some dust and we could get there quicker, but I\u2019ve been through this before. I like our team. I like our guys. They\u2019re really a good group to be around. I see hope in there. I see there\u2019s pieces that can turn this. The future\u2019s going to be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flirting with rankings<\/h4>\n
Michigan State made an appearance in USCHO Men\u2019s Division I Poll for the week of Nov. 25, entering at No. 20.<\/p>\n
After being swept on the road by Ohio State, the Spartans dropped out of the rankings again.<\/p>\n
That single appearance marked something significant for Michigan State. It was the first time since 2013 that the Spartans had made a poll appearance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a nice thing,\u201d said coach Danton Cole. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize it had been that long, so I guess it\u2019s good in that sense. We try not to have external validity. Internal is more important and then the computer poll [the PairWise Rankings] is the most important. I thought the progress we were making in the computer poll was real good. It\u2019s nice that people are recognizing that we\u2019re doing some good things.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, our interim goal is to be in that discussion. Our long term \u2013 which hopefully we get to sooner rather than later \u2013 is to be there all the time and be disappointed when we\u2019re not in the top 15.\u201d<\/p>\n
Goalies finishing strong<\/h4>\n
This has been said before but it bears repeating: Michigan State\u2019s John Lethemon and Penn State\u2019s Peyton Jones are defining what it means to have career seasons, both playing their best hockey by far in this senior seasons.<\/p>\n
Lethemon is 17th nationally in goals-against (2.02) and sixth in save percentage (.940). His previous best GAA was 2.88 his sophomore year and he posted his previous career-best .905 SV% las season.<\/p>\n
Jones\u2019s 2.40 GAA is slightly better than his once-best 2.60 from his rookie season, but his .920 save percentage eclipses the numbers he posted in his first three season. Jones has the seventh-best win percentage in the country.<\/p>\n
Jones also has two assists this season, tying his point total for his freshman season but two shy of his career-high four assists in his sophomore season. He\u2019s also recorded his first two career penalties, two minutes for interference against Sacred Heart Oct. 12 and two for tripping against Wisconsin on Halloween night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
