Re: Could we interest you in a deer for a win? (Michigan Tech @ WisconSIN - 10/29-30
Yeah, this is a bit premature. I'm pretty sure the 'Sconnies will be concerning themselves with Denver and Gwoz first. Tech, meanwhile, needs to concern themselves with learning how to limit our opponent's chances. You can give up a two-game total of 83 shots to Mankato and probably get away with it, but I doubt that's going to work against the Red Menace, especially in Madison.

Well, time to be realistic. We beat an NMU team that clearly doesn't have their sheet together yet, an LSSU team whose first wins just came against a middling ECAC program, and a Mankato team that will probably finish 10th-12th. What's more, we also managed two ties against said teams, and still have a lot of work to do on winning faceoffs, eliminating turnovers, and our overall play without the puck. The Kohl seems to be the toughest place to play in the entire WCHA, and I think Wisconsin has been incorrectly written off this year. They're likely not a MacNaughton contender, but still probably good enough for 4th-6th and home ice.
I'd be pretty happy with a split, and wouldn't be surprised if the Badgers swept. Especially since they only got a point in Denver, and will probably be well-prepared to defend their home ice. Working slightly in our favor is the off week, which should've given us a lot of time to rest up, review tape, and work on the bad stuff.
I'd love to hear that Jordan Baker is back for this weekend, but Russell hasn't been too optimistic, especially now with the sprained ankle he sustained about two weeks ago. Duluth seems like a more realistic target for his return.

The ankle is fine now from what I hear. However, he will NOT be ready for Wisconsin; that decision was made at least three or four days ago actually.
