2nd Intermission Report

It seems this one may be in hand. With Wisconsin winning 6 to 1 after the second period, Mike Eaves is being put in a peculiar position.

If the game is indeed in hand then what should Mike Eaves do about the tempo of the game. Should he keep up the tempo and push it all the way home. Or does he slow it down to avoid embarrassing RIT at the risk of slowing the team down too much before the championship game.

Even with a lot of tape out there for either Miami(OH) or Boston College; do you slow it down to avoid showing them anything more since the game is in hand. On the other side do you continue to pound away to look to intimidate your future opponent.

These are the questions that will be answered in the final period. So far we have answered a lot of questions. How would the Badgers score on RIT's goalkeeper, DeMichael, who has been playing terrific hockey as of late. The answer: at will. The other question coming in to the period was a possible injury to Geoffrion in the first period; judging by the goal in the second period, I would venture to guess that everything appears fine.

Just one more period left until a birth in the national title game. But anybody that watches hockey knows one thing...it takes less than a second to score a goal. With twenty minutes left that leaves plenty of seconds.
