Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

I understand why you did it. But We always run the Wisconsin threads to 1,000 posts no matter what. So in my opinion it doesn't make sense to do "parts" or "offseason" threads.

Because they end up running into each other and it looks stupid if you have an offseason thread in during the season, etc.

Understood.

"Just win, baby!"... What are you, a Raiders Fan

Not in this lifetime or any other.

FS Wisconsin responded on Facebook about the second semifinal Friday and lack of live coverage...

They are airing HS hockey at 7pm because the Bucks coverage starts at 830 pm. The Denver game is set for after that (midnightish).

The guide for Time Warner shows all 5 games on live. It shows all ECAC and CCHA games, as well as the DIII final also. Any college hockey nut, or should I say, all of us college hockey nuts will get our fix this weekend.

FYP. But the point remains. I kind of like having it all in one spot- although I do like having a seperate recruiting thread for Chuck to dominate. The conversation here always ends up being on topic, and I don't mind the diversions.

If we used it more, I probably wouldn't mind having a seperate alumni thread. But we don't.

I'd love some more chatter on the recruiting thread.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

There are 5 posts there since 2007, all by the same guy.

This is such a small online community that I think we can accommodate most stuff here.

I respect your opinion and I know others would agree with you, but I see it as a Badger hockey forum all in one thread since there are no other viable options.

It's on Fox College Sports live if you have the sports package or whatever with Charter.

Led by junior defenseman Brendan Smith and senior forward Blake Goeffrion, six members of the Wisconsin men’s hockey team were honored by the WCHA at its annual awards banquet Thursday afternoon.

The big winner of the afternoon for Wisconsin was junior defenseman Brendan Smith (Mimico, Ontario), who was named the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year and a member of the All-WCHA First Team.

Smith is the third Badger in school history to win the WCHA Defensive Player of the Year award, joining defensemen Brian Rafalski (1994-95) and defenseman Jeff Dessner (1999-2000) as winners.

The nation’s leading scorer among defensemen with 15 goals, 29 assists, 44 points and a 1.22 points per game average, Smith has outscored the next closest WCHA defenseman by 16 points to this point and the nation’s next closest defenseman by nine points.

In addition to Smith, senior forward Blake Geoffrion (Brentwood, Tenn.) was named to the All-WCHA First Team.

Wisconsin’s vocal leader as one of its tri-captains, Geoffrion paces the WCHA with 23 overall goals and led the league with 19 goals in league games. He also led the WCHA with a 1.36 points per game scoring average in league games, finishing one point behind the league scoring champion in three less games played.

Making the All-WCHA Second Team is junior defenseman Ryan McDonagh (Arden Hills, Minn.).

McDonagh, one of the Badgers’ tri-captains, leads the WCHA with a plus-20 in all games playing against UW opponents’ top lines every game. The league leader with a plus-20 in WCHA games, he also chipped in 15 points as a rear guard.

Senior forward Michael Davies (St. Louis) was an All-WCHA Third Team pick. The UW’s leading scorer with 48 points, Davies leads the league and ranks sixth in the nation with a 1.37 points per game average in all games. Wisconsin’s leader with 15 multi-point games, Davies hasn’t gone more than two games without a point all season.

Two Badgers were named to the WCHA All-Rookie Team, as freshman forward Craig Smith (Madison, Wis.) and freshman defenseman Justin Schultz (West Kelowna, British Columbia) made the squad.

Smith led all WCHA rookies with 25 points in league games, while his 29 points in all games ranks second among first-year players.

Schultz, UW’s quarterback on its first power-play unit, led all WCHA rookie defensemen with 16 points in league games, while his 18 points in all games are just one point behind the league leaders.

Foul on Aktick. Do I get 2 shots at the free throw line or does he get 2 minutes in the box?

VW - I know I, along with others, were a bit rough on you at first. Seems like you've gotten the wild predictions under control, and its comments like this that make me love this place.

As always, ON WISCONSIN!

(And if that SCSU hack that shall not be named gets taken to the woodshed tomorrow by grotting/mitchell, I will be cheering from my cube at work)

Considering the Bucks are the hottest team in the Eastern conference right now, that is understandable. I bought my Brandon Jennings jersey a few weeks ago.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

More alumni info - I was watching the Caps and the Canes this evening, and young Mr. McBain looked pretty good on the blue line for Carolina. Had a couple nice plays, showed off his heavy shot, and generally impressed Washington's PBP crew. Even got a few college hockey shout outs for it.

McBain had a few hiccups on offense - bad breakout passes leading to turnovers, etc - but all in all a solid performance for him.

The decision has nothing to do with the Bucks being the hottest team in the east. The decision was made before last season when FSWis went from about 40 Bucks games per season to 70. That knocked about 10 Badger games off FSWis.

So, I get why but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. I don't really care about the Bucks and wish they weren't on.

At one point in late February, the Badgers had a larger average attendance than the Bucks. That's impressive for UW fans and pretty sad reflection on the apathy Milwaukee has for the Bucks.

And I get the FCS package, so it's a matter of expressing my preference to FS. I'll still get to see the games live...

The Milwaukee Bucks have a larger television audience, though. That's the problem. Milwaukee people like hockey, by the way. They just don't tend to like Badger hockey because they have allegiances to other crappy schools like Marquette with no hockey program. If we could ever get the NHL to Milwaukee and get some former Badgers on the roster, that could change in my opinion.

Do they have the larger audience in Madison though? They already program FSNWi out of Minneapolis and split the feed for WI for UW events. Why can't they split it for Madison and Milwaukee?

I believe that they moved the FSNWI decision making to Milwaukee a few years back, thus the change towards a more Milwaukee dominated programing choices over the past few years.

I'm cutting out of work early today to see the UW Hockey game. I'll only be checking the BB game periodically. Now I better get back to work so I can leave early....

Wisconsin Hockey: Didn't get the McNaughton, will get the Broadmore.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

I checked the program guide on my cable box last night and FS-Wisconsin will at the very least be showing the Badgers play this afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get out of work to watch it, but have the DVR set to record it in case.
