It has been snowing all day here, but before the snow started falling last night the Badgers gathered for a team bonding bonfire. We stayed at a lodge about 30 minutes away from the rink and enjoyed some stories and treats. Everyone was there and exchanged stories of their most embarassing moments and their biggest fears.

What is Brianna Decker's status?
Saturday October 10, 2009 6:43 Mostly Frozen
6:44
She is out with an arm injury, expected to be back in about a month and a half. It's a tough loss for the Badgers, she had two of UW's three goals last time out against UND.

Is there a big crowd
Saturday October 10, 2009 6:54 Miss NY
6:56
It's not as big as the crowd they got in Eveleth, but it's a smaller rink so it feels like more people. And they are still filing in... If I had to guess, I'd say 200.
