Re: WISCONSIN Hockey Vol. 22 - Let's not have another cheesy thread title... Wait, W
For me, considering they came back to tie it up in the last 5 minutes of the game (and then didn't lose another OT game at home), it was a tie that felt like a tie. I still feel like 3 points would be a good weekend and it's still there for the taking.
While I was underwhelmed by the Badgers' top line, the Little-Dahl-Little did exactly what a text-book 4th line should do (banging into people, agitating in front of the opposing goal and coming up with an occasional scoring opportunity).
At this point, the second and third line are about as average as I've seen around here in a long time. Maybe Zulinik coming back (whenever that is) will help the cause.
Defense is also frustratingly inconsistent. Fairly solid in the defensive zone (though McCabe's give-away was shockingly bad), but really struggles to start any kind of rush out of the zone.
Peterson was good enough and the pipe/crossbar had another solid game. I assume that Rumpel gets the start tonight.
Not an ideal outcome, but if they can come out tonight and get a win it's at least an acceptable weekend. Hey, have to start somewhere.
