Re: WISCONSIN Hockey Vol. 22 - Let's not have another cheesy thread title... Wait, W

More than defending Shyiak I've been an advocate for stability. Talafous for 5 years, Hill for 3 years and I didn't want to see Shyiak go after 4 or 5 for stabilities sake. The inability to get local elite players and the inability to keep other top players after their freshman years has doomed the program from advancing. It has been and will be the same year after year for exactly that reason. Can you imagine how much better the team would be this year if they'd kept the players they've lost over the last 3 years? I can.

I most certainly can. But the players are leaving because of the coach. Enough said.

congrats to UW this weekend, I had hoped for a split but a sweep is pretty extraordinary. 6-7-5 heading to Mankato, who knows, if they get more than 2 points there things could be looking up

Longest unbeaten streak since 05-06 (5-0-3). Haven't been great opponents, but they've taken care of business in games they need to win lately.

Goal of 16-6-4 since the return of Kerdiles now means it's down to 11-6-1. That's possible.

Besides Wittchow's 20 second break from the game on the ice, sounded like the D played awesome last night.

Updated where the Badgers on NHL contracts will be playing this season, now that the lockout is over.

With Kato and UAA the next 4 wcha games, they can keep their push going before a tougher stretch of games in the league. The way the D is playing, it's a good feeling to know you'll be in every game. Kato is only 3 pts ahead, a sweep is critical to increasing the odds of getting home ice. Kata is no pushover @ 14-6-2, but UW is at full strength now, and that's not debatable. Is full strength enough to get home is? We shall see.

I just saw the "classic" jersey for the game in IL and I like them.

MSU got to 3 points ahead of Wisconsin while already having played SCSU, Minnesota, Denver, & UNO, I think it's appropriate to mention.They also have one of the better offenses and defenses in the entire league as well as one of the league's better power plays. We had our hands full against them in our building. They are definitely no slouches.

Your remaining schedule is pretty brutal, IMHO

I'm not a big fan of second jerseys/throwbacks, but I'd love to have one of these, maybe I'll ask for one for my birthday. I'd also like to get a gal's jersey too. I love the large flying W.

My only beef is with the inconsistent striping on the elbows and waist. It gets redeemed a little bit if this is supposed to be a reference to a jersey we had in the first incarnation of the program, but even then I'm not a fan of inconsistency (see also: how our road jersey is no longer the inverse of the home jersey, like it used to be... notice how the sleeves of the road jerseys have changed in the last half decade or so). Other than that, it's fine. Certainly better than most of the alternates jerseys we end up with.

I like the jersey too! and...I'm a glutton for punishment maybe, despite my envisioning UW getting manhandled by the rats I'm going to the Soldier Field game!

re: full strength, is Zulinick back? I don't think I heard his name on the broadcast this weekend

Zulinick is not back yet, and I don't anticipate him playing this weekend.

I think I might have mentioned it when the initial injury was diagnosed, but I had the same injury as Zulinick in high school. It's a really tricky injury and can be severely painful in nature. I remember it took me almost a month before I had full mobility in the leg and I had to go through rehab to get back on the ice. Hopefully he's back soon, as he's a weapon offensively that this club can use.
