I suppose Mark Zengerle is included in the returning scoring? Is he guaranteed to return like Craig Smith was guaranteed to return?

So they let you out and one of the first things you do is come here?

His obsession with Wisconsin hockey is borderline sickening.

Folks, can you please either put him on your ignore list or show the self-restrain required to not respond to his posts. We've been down the path that responding will invariably lead, I have no desire to head down that path again. That post was nothing but blatant attempt at trolling for a response, no need to give him the satisfaction of taking the bait.

I have him ignored, unfortunately he's quoted enough where I still see them from time to time.

Anyways...moving on...

Is anyone else concerned at how left hand dominant Wisconsin will be next season? Specifically looking at the forwards, we'll have 9 LH, and 6 RH.

Looking at the projected top six, Labate, Mersch, and Kerdiles are all LH, and Zengerele, Barnes, and Lee are RH.

I originally projected Kerdiles on the LW to start his career but now I'm leaning on playing him in the middle. He's been in the middle exclusively for the NTDP this season and obviously is tearing it up. I think it might be better to move a RH lee to the wing in order to balance out that top six.

No. Assuming we can hang on to Zengerle, it will be a pleasant problem to have because the forward talent depth will be approaching the last 2 frozen 4 teams. The other thing is that 3 of the LH kids (Kerdiles, Zullnick, & Labate) are quite capable of playing center which will even things out a bit. In the end, a good/talented player can play either side (or any of the 3 forward position for that matter) and it will sort itself out.

Not particularly. while I recognize that it can matter situationally, I don't see it as being a driving factor for who plays on what line. It will influence what get tried first, but at the end of the day, Eaves will go with what works.

I don't think we'll see LaBate back at center. That experiment didn't go well this season.

We feel the same way about Old Pio and duper.

Would be much more concerned about a lack of LW than RW, which isn't the case. The only reason for Kerdiles NOT to play C is for him to be grouped w/ Zengerle for the potent combination they could be. I just happy the team doesn't have a shortage of center option, since this year that was a bit of a problem IMO. The 2010 team having Geoffrion/Stepan/Dolan/Bendi as centers was a big advantage.

One of my pet peeves is when the coaches have to call the officials over to their bench between periods as Mike Eaves loves to do. He had all four of them over on Saturday night and was really mad. I found out why today from a friend who knows Greg Shepard the head of officials for the WCHA. Mr Eaves was screamimg that he wanted Kyle Rau kicked out of the game, but I have no idea why.

Was Rau the guy that knocked LaBate all woozy?
