In advance of Minnesota\u2019s series in Wisconsin last weekend and two wins away from securing the Big Ten regular-season title, Golden Gophers coach Bob Motzko was asked about how his team had handled a break in the schedule the week before.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best answer would be Saturday night late,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ll tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gophers beat the Badgers 4-1 Friday but fell short Saturday, as Wisconsin came from behind for a 3-1 win, delaying what feels like an inevitable outcome in the Big Ten final standings.<\/p>\n

During a press conference a few days after the Saturday loss, Motzko credited the Badgers with a well-earned win and added that the Gophers have the opportunity to learn from the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were things that we did in the game that we can\u2019t do. but it had been coming,\u201d said Motzko, \u201cand maybe now Coach gets the room back a little bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t lost a lot of games in conference since November in regulation, so it came at a good time for us. You\u2019ll hear a coach say that once in a while. This one is right on because there are some tendencies that we had coming that we need to get cleaned up, and this is the weekend now to start cleaning that up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mathematically speaking, Michigan is the only team that can catch first-place Minnesota, but that seems unlikely. The Gophers need to win one of their remaining four games to capture the regular-season championship and first-round Big Ten playoff bye, and if Michigan loses just one of its remaining games, the Gophers don\u2019t even need their own single win.<\/p>\n

Five teams are vying to finish no lower than fourth in the Big Ten standings, as the teams that place second through fourth host a first-round, best-of-three series. With 35 points, it\u2019s unlikely that second-place Michigan will finish lower than fourth, but it\u2019s still mathematically possible.<\/p>\n

Three teams \u2013 Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame \u2013 are tied with 31 points each, although the Buckeyes have two games in hand on the Spartans and Fighting Irish.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Penn State currently in sixth place with 30 points. The Nittany Lions host the Golden Gophers this weekend. Penn State has lost just four home games this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey shoot from everywhere,\u201d said Motzko. \u201cThey\u2019re very offensive, they stretch it out of the zone, they try to get you a long way away from the puck. The closer we stay, the better. Wisconsin does that, too, so two weeks now that we will have seen teams that play away from the puck, but they\u2019re very good at it, Penn State.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minnesota is seeking its sixth regular-season Big Ten conference championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just got to get there and play good hockey,” said Motzko. “That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than wins and losses<\/h3>\n

No team wants to lose the home game that gives an arch-rival a championship. In denying Minnesota the regular-season B1G title last Saturday night in the Kohl Center, Wisconsin did more than win a game. The Badgers made a statement about their commitment to each other \u2013 a commitment that Wisconsin has maintained during a challenging season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe season has not gone as well in the win-loss columns as we would have liked,\u201d said coach Tony Granato, \u201cbut the one thing you can talk about with our team is that each and every day we show up. We\u2019re there for each other. We have fun with each other. We push each other and we stay in the right frame of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his weekly press conference, Granato said that there was a chance of letting down after Friday\u2019s 4-1 game because the Badgers might have questions how they could improve enough to beat a team like Minnesota after having played so well and lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really proud of the guys and their mental approach to it, the way they attacked them the same way they did on Friday,\u201d said Granato.<\/p>\n

The Badgers got a boost from reunions celebrating Wisconsin\u2019s 1973 and 1983 NCAA championship teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was that excitement that we\u2019ve somewhat lacked in the last couple of months,\u201d said Granato, adding that the weekend felt like a \u201ctypical Wisconsin-Minnesota\u201d series.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter who\u2019s in first place or last place,\u201d said Granato. \u201cDoesn\u2019t matter. You put those two teams on the ice, special hockey\u2019s going to happen. I thought both those games were great college hockey games.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are 34 points separating first-place Minnesota from last-place Wisconsin. The Badgers\u2019 3-1 win Saturday broke a six-game losing streak against the Golden Gophers, a streak that began Nov. 6, 2021. In those six games, the Gophers outscored the Badgers 34-10.<\/p>\n

With four games remaining, Wisconsin cannot play its way out of last place in the Big Ten standings.<\/p>\n

So much more than hockey<\/h3>\n

The murder of three Michigan State students and the injuries to five other Spartans when a gunman began firing randomly on campus shortly after 8:00 p.m. Monday, Feb. 13 have impacted far more than the eight young people who were shot. In the abstract, we know that families are shattered forever and that literally thousands of students, staff and faculty are traumatized.<\/p>\n

This time, the horror of this senseless event ripples through the Big Ten and college hockey communities.<\/p>\n

Since Michigan State was scheduled to play on the road in Wisconsin this weekend, Badgers coach Tony Granato asked MSU\u2019s Adam Nightingale how his program wanted to handle things.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reached out to them right away and told them that we\u2019d adjust and do whatever they needed or thought was appropriate,\u201d said Granato. \u201cWhen something like that happens, we\u2019re all affected but when you realize that the team you\u2019re going to play this weekend is dealing with it on a personal level because it happened to them, there\u2019s a little bit more concern and awareness to the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is going to go as scheduled, based on that [being] what they decided is best for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Berkey Hall, the academic building where the first two students were killed, is a 15-minute walk from Munn Ice Arena. The Michigan State student union, where the third victim was shot, is a quick 11 minutes from Munn.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not surprising, then, that the Spartans opted to leave for Madison ahead of schedule, arriving Wednesday instead of Thursday. Granato said that Michigan State will be given ice time to practice Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting away from campus a day early,\u201d said Granato, \u201cis what they thought was right to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
