Time for a new Wisconsin thread...
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.
You should have started one then, Chuck.![]()
Kind of a depressing title, don't ya think?
Well Oz did just leave for OSU after KP left for the USHL, and two top notch blue liners are headed to the pro's...aftermath is fair IMHO.
The beauty of an aftermath is the revival that comes w/ it, and the 2010 recruiting class is looking pretty good.
Good points, although a revival isn't always a given. Tech has been waiting something like 859 years for a revival. And here's to hoping the rodent's revival is another 859 years out.
W/ tDon and John Hill running the show and Stauber making the goalies worse each season they spend there, I'm hoping their trend continues.
Tech...well there isn't much hope for them.
I think the Badgers aren't in a bad spot next season barring anymore early departures past Brendan Smith; DU lost a lot of talent on top as well, but North Dakota, St Cloud and Duluth are looking strong.
Remember a top 6 finish next season gets home ice.
Wow, you take this forum seriously, dont you?Thought we came to an understanding the last time you created a Wisconsin thread that we don't need to do "parts" or "offseason" threads.
This is the exchange we had the last time...
Wow, you take this forum seriously, dont you?You said no off-season threads during the season and last time I checked, this is the offseason not the season.
Whatever. Clearly youre going to find a reason to criticize me no matter what I do.
Tell me about it... i didn't know Wisconsin hockey threads had to be regulated like Wall street Bankers... Sometimes Uw hockey threads on this site seem like a dictatorship... I look at it as there are some people on this thread that could do with getting a life... but then again thats just one idiots opinion...![]()

Like I explained to you last time you created a thread, we always run Wisconsin threads to 1,000 posts. So when it gets to November, and we're multiple weeks into the season, and we're still running the off season thread, we look like retards. Just because other teams do it, doesn't mean we have to.
I'm simply telling you what the people that have come before me have decided for Wisconsin rules. It's no wonder some legendary Wisconsin posters no longer post here, or don't do so nearly enough.
Just because you come on here, and post a clip off an article from UWBadgers.com once in a while, doesn't mean you're contributing.
Yeah i think people are putting a little too much into B. Smith and Goloubef leaving. Gardiner will likely take B. Smith's roll on the PP and he is every bit as talented and will probably put up McBain type numbers there next season. Its not like we have some inexperienced freshman taking there place on the blueline, your looking at C. Johnson Springer and Little who have game experience and know the system so much better then there freshman years. The goaltending i think will be a notch or two better, Gudmandson got some great experience down the stretch that will only help him this year and with bennett pushing him i think Goody could be a top goaltender in the league next year.
Yes there will be a dip off in goal production next season but Stepan and C. Smith as the 1 and 2 centers, thats a pretty good start. (I think C. Smith will get moved to center next season) I think players like Lee, Turnbull and Murray will play key roles on the PP and one of them will put up Davies like numbers (his first 3 years) they won't come close to having the numbers davies had last season. It won't be as deep up front as last year but there are some goal scorers there as well as the BCHL kid coming in. UW will have to win some games with defense and goaltending, something EAves knows a little something about....
So when it gets to November, and we're multiple weeks into the season, and we're still running the off season thread, we look like retards.
