Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
Preseason rankings......4 is high, 12 is about right. Hayton is a big ++++ but losing Kunin is a big --. The question you have to ask your self is how many games would have UW won last year with Hayton? I bet he was worth 5 wins on last year's team.
They play 9 (only 2 are outside of the state) games before they play a team ranked higher than them, is 7-2 too much to expect?Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

I'm worried about scoring. I think the D will be improved by the new kids but who will step up and score 20 or more goals?Last edited by solovsfett; 09-26-2017, 12:59 PM.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!
"but you're not as confused as him are you. it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel". Tap pt 1.
"I think it's ****ing stock. What--? Which part of that is unclear to you? I think it sounds stock to my ears. I mean, do you want me to write it down?" Tap Pt. 2
Who???! So What!!!! Big Deal!!!!

Hopefully Johnson, Malone and Frederic step up and maybe Weissbach and Dhoogee(sp?) can chip in with 15-20 points as froshEverything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
I'm pretty high on the boys this year. 12 is too low. Barring incident (as always) I expect no less than a #2 seed.
If Hayton was worth 5 wins last year, the Badgers would have likely been #4-#6. I've been on hockey vacation, but I did watch a little video on him and he's really good. Could be the missing piece provided he makes a smooth transition. Of course goalies are weird. I like Berry as relief a lot too. He seems to have the right mindset to show up and take advantage of an opportunity.
Trent Frederick has put 10-15 pounds on his 'puny freshman' frame. What a beast. I am sky high on Trent as well. 20+ goals is a done deal. Could even make a Blake-like run at the Hobey. As the returning MVP there isn't anything he doesn't do for this team. Plus his demeanor is perfect. Like a pro.
Speaking of putting on pounds, I've always been very high on Hughes. Going to be a great leader, produce a lot of points, and he finally is now a real grown man-sized player. This is it. It's all going to pay off this year.
Two things I'm thinking about. One is how big these early non-conference games will be for all the B1G, and how last year all the early games were huge whistle fests. Hope Tony is working that Power play hard.
The second is, which Freshman if any, will crack the top six? It seems that Frederick, Hughes, and Malone will all center lines starting out (rather than making some sort of super line) Anxious to see the lines. I think we will have guys that can produce points sitting in the stands this year.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

S Dhooghe-Fredric-Zimmer.......I want to get the wings off to a fast start. Zimmer has untapped offensive potential.
Johnson-Huges-Weissbach......I want the wings to off to a fast start.
Baker-Malone-Freytag......Freytag has untapped offensive potential, Baker can score
Ustaski-Wagner-Zirbel......Can Ustaski continue where he left off? Zirbel showed a lot of good in limited ice time.
Ford-Labosky-S Dhooghe......Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Too many good players. What can we do...
Originally posted by WiscTJK View PostI can't see Ford not being in the lineup every night. Maybe we are that deep, but I don't see it. I always like his energy.
I don't know... Guys like Ford and Freytag could work their way in anywhere up and down the line up or not at all. Like Tim, I've always thought Freytag could probably score goals in a scorer's position.
To me Wagner should be a top six player that can score, but I guess it's in how it breaks down with the new guys.
Ustaski was up top last year... How about Ustaski -Frederick-Sean D? I like the aesthetic of 6'6"- 6"3"- 5'3"!Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again
My first week lines based on my two bigs and a small top line.
Ustaski - Frederic - S. Dhooghe
Wagner - Hughes - Weisbach
Zimmer - Malone - Johnson
Baker/Zirbel - Ford -Freytag
Linhart/Tischke
Davison/Greenway
Kalynuk/Inamoto
Ford could play center or wing. I'm undecided but I suppose I'd give Zirbel the start at C with Ford on the wing. I haven't a clue really... I think the only surprise to me would be if Linhart/Tishcke weren't the top pairing.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?
