UW men's hockey: Badgers' road strategy simple -- 'bore them to death'
The Badgers will slow things down and try to pressure the opponent's defense into mistakes to start their own offense. Mike Eaves has told his players that playing an effective road game is a little like playing an effective tennis game. At the start, you just try to get the ball back in play. When you've got your feet set, then you can start shooting for the lines. "You want to do everything a little simpler," UW goaltender Shane Connelly said. "You don't need to get the crowd into play. You're trying to almost bore them to death by taking them out of the game." They snooze, you win? That's possible for the Badgers as they prepare to close out the Western Collegiate Hockey Association regular season with three of their final four series away from home. The stretch starts Friday with the opener of a series at Michigan Tech.
