Thats like Lions fans saying "but if you include the 4 wins we had in the preseason, we were 4-16!"
I guess it is for engineers...
3-0-2, not 4-0-2
Lets not get ahead of ourselves...have to win at Kohl Center to get to 4-0-2
Sorry, but I've watched way too much terrible Tech hockey to believe that its turned around after wins over NMU, LSSU and Mankato. Have to see what they do against UW and UMD to see what this team is really like.
When did big blue get another screen name?
FYPI'm not saying its a bad thing...I'm just saying the blind othersiders who think this is a sign of our unbeatability are in for a rude awakening when they see that this team is capable of streaks of not being the godawful worst in the nation, but it doesn't last for long
IIRC, you couldn't manage to count to 6.
You're a bad bad person.
Wisconsin lost a lot from last year's team. They return goaltenders, but took hits to both offense and defense. They lost 7 of their top 8 scorers, and 3 defensemen. They did shut out Holy Cross and Huntsville (26 saves, 17 saves), and killed all 11 penalties combined in those two games. They lost to BU by giving up 3 power play goals on 5 opportunities. I would like to think that we have a power play that can make them pay, and hopefully two weeks of practice will lend a little more 5X5 stability and better play on the back end.It has to be a tougher test. Wisconsin has actually won a game, unlike our last 3 opponents. And the Kohl Center is tough.
But let us not kid ourselves into believing that Wisconsin is this magical team of worldbeaters. This is hockey, not football
They are predicted to be a middle of the pack WCHA team. Theresa picked them 6th, Tyler 4th, Media 5th, and the coaches decided on 7th.
Are they likely better than us? One would have to assume so. But that doesn't mean that we have to annoint them with a sweep before the games are even played. Gone are the days of traffic barrels and road cones, and hopefully this Huskies team comes to play both nights.

True enough, but they still went to the title game of the Frozen Four last year. Even if much of their leadership is gone, they're still almost certainly a home ice team, probably an NCAA team, and a severe threat for the Broadmoor if not as much the MacNaughton. We can't forget that and predict that our Huskies will maul the Badgers (huskyfan
Having said that, it's likely we'll come away with one point, and I'd give fair odds to us taking two points from a Wisconsin team expecting to mop the floor with us.
