  • Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again

    The administration and fans are more than enough to not ever care about whether the current incarnation of their football or hockey teams deserve the hate.

    The administration and the fans are exactly why it could easily happen again.
    If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

    BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


    At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

    Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

        J. Dhooghe-Baker-Ford

        My guess is they want to keep Frederic, Hughes and Malone as centers, but Malone would be really good on the first line right wing if exchanged for S. Dhooghe, and Dhooghe can center the third line. I'd like to see Hughes' playmaking with Weissbach's ability to finish.
        I like your line combos. I don't think G2O are going to move Ustaski from line 1, so you are good there. Putting Zimmer on the line you have him on is good, he has the talent to be a great finisher and this could awaken him. I think he was miscast on the 4th line last year. I really like Malone a lot, he is a sneaky distributor and skater, part of me would like to see him get moved up, but he has some really good players on that 3rd line with him, I'm hopefully he can really explode on the scoring side of things, his scoring fr to so, 26 - 29 doesn't reflect on his ability.

                I think that's a mistake. I think a big reason Kunin and Frederic had bad numbers towards the end of the season was because Ustaski couldn't keep up. Sometimes you gotta load up your best players on one line (Hughes-Frederic-Kunin). But they didn't in the end when all that mattered was one goal. Poor coaching decision in my opinion.

                  Don't think that is possible since Kunin is on an amateur tryout (contract starts next year).

                  He wasn't even a good college player so he needs to learn that role if he wants to stay in the NHL.

                    I'm not sure I love him on the top line, but in one of the games at the end of the year Ustaski had all or nearly all of the shots the line had taken in the game and he scored. I do think the coaches were attempting to spread out the talent so that other lines had a chance to put up points every game.

                      Correct, I know. I was just saying they could use him (not that they might use him) the way they're playing, and the Parise injury. I guess college was too difficult for him since he had to go to the AHL to pot the ménage à trois. Anyway, way to represent, Master Luke.

                        I agree on this point. Ustaski's move up to that line seemed to coincide with the drop in production, though the whole team seemed to go into a funk and the 2nd and 3rd lines were not lacking in talent. Mark Johnson ended up making a superline when he moved Nurse up to the first line from the 2nd and than that new combo exploded, though they could seal the deal in the most important game either.

                          I guess teams play better D in college than the pros, or the guys he's playing with are just that much better.

                              I guess the Hockey Banquet was open to the public last night, pretty cool move. Too bad it wasn't highly advertised, I would have liked to entertain the thought of attending.

                              April fools a few days ago made me think of the time many years ago where on this site in the UW thread someone posted Eaves had taken the head coaching job with the Devils. Any other old timers recall that?

                              Nice goal by Smith there...backhand upper corner.

                                Granato got robbed for the coach of the year. Montgomery wins coaching a team to the F4 that was a preseason #3. Big whoopty ding. Granato did awesome things with an under-talented mentally defeated group of players.
