    World champion Brewers, top-ranked Badgers, and Nela Lopušanová

    After a one-week hiatus, Kedrick Stumbris and Anthony Winker return to discuss the week that was in Wisconsin Badgers hockey and hoops. First, the duo discusses (part of) the reason for the hiatus: the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions. Kedrick recounts his experience in St. Petersburg, Florida, the crowd-split inside Tropicana Field, and the all-time great home-run call by Joe Davis that will ultimately be lost to history. Then, Anthony and Kedrick discuss the nation’s new top-ranked team in men’s college hockey. After a sweep of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Wisconsin is atop the polls for just the second time since winning its most-recent national title in 2006. After recapping an impressive series, they look ahead to a pair of games at the University of Minnesota, and contemplate how meaningful a No. 1 ranking is in early November. Later, a recap of Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball’s season-opening victory over the Denver Pioneers. It was not flawless, but UW got the job done against a lesser opponent on a night Wisconsin found itself shorthanded due to injuries and foul trouble. Kedrick and Anthony debate whether the imperfect performance was simply a sign of growing pains or of trouble to come later in the season. Finally, Nela Lopušanová highlighted a Wisconsin women’s hockey sweep over the St. Cloud State Huskies by tying the Badgers’ single-game goal-scoring record. The Slovak standout became the second rookie in the history of NCAA Division I women’s college hockey to hit the back of the net five times in a single contest. Any early-season concerns about where UW would find its scoring seem to have been assuaged by this group of young Badgers. Anthony and Kedrick provide a brief update on the current, former, and future Wisconsin players competing in the upcoming IIHF Women’s World Championships. As always, the show concludes with the Badger Breakaway three stars of the week segment. Stick around until the very end to learn who takes home this week’s coveted honors. 0:00 - Intro and Milwaukee Brewers World Series championship 7:30 - Wisconsin men's hockey recap and No. 1 ranking discussion 31:00 - Badger men's basketball 49:00 - Wisconsin women's hockey, Nela Lopušanová, and Women's Worlds 1:02:45 - 3 stars of the week Thank you for visiting BadgerBreakaway.com – With your support, we are quickly becoming a leading independent source for news, analysis, and intel on the Wisconsin Badgers hockey and basketball teams.

    Rosalie Tremblay and (partial) fixes to Worlds scheduling

    Although none of the Wisconsin Badgers hockey or basketball teams have games that count this weekend, news from national teams, court rulings, and exhibition contests generated plenty of headlines. Listen to this week’s Badger Breakaway podcast breaking down the latest in UW hockey and hoops. Wisconsin women’s hockey center Rosalie Tremblay celebrated a banner week by returning from Hockey Canada training camp, joined an exclusive list of Badgers rookies, and became one of the youngest players to ever make the Canadian national team. Following the announcement, Kedrick and Anthony make a bold prediction that would put the Quebec native among UW greats. In Madison, the Badgers men’s basketball team is putting the final touches on its preseason training. After guard Braeden Carrington’s impressive performance in last week’s exhibition against the Green Bay Phoenix, the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara made a preliminary ruling in his ongoing lawsuit against the NCAA. The Wisconsin men’s hockey team heads to Kalamazoo this weekend for an exhibition game against the Western Michigan Broncos. In a rematch of last season’s Kwik Trip Holiday Face-Off title game, UW and WMU meet again as potential national title contenders. Kedrick and Anthony break down the players of note on the Broncos’ dynamic offense and stalwart defense. Finally, the show concludes with a discussion on who head coach Mike Hastings will turn to at goaltender in this one-off contest and the three stars of the week.
