Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2012-2013 - The LaBahn Era Begins
Have to agree with BB and TA but add a comment; Decker is an awesome player but seems to have lost her sense for team play. I have watched her play since she was a 14U and she typically distributes the puck much better than what I observed this weekend. She demonstrated her great dangleing skills on several occasions while her teammates watched and waited. The game is about team dynamics and this years team needs her making those around her better more than ever. Even on their PP the puck spends to much time on her stick and not enough time beating the D with crisp passing. UW was a much better team than UMD and the game shouldn't have gone to over time in my opinion. The Badgers could surprise a lot of folks down the stretch is they play more of a team game. If it is nothing more than a one player skills demo they may be headed to the gold course early this year.
