Classics. Awesome. Ray Nitschke was in the bowling one at least I think that was him.

TV Schedule

TV Schedule

FSN or at least local TV better step in for the UND and/or BU series. I have a hard time believing those would go untouched

I do too. And then there's also this:

It's a work in progress RT @RealEricTheRed: So you plan on showing some games on @WISCTV_News3 and/or @wispublictv ?

Which pretty much means more is coming at some point.

Cameron Hughes was rated a C prospect in the preseason watch list. I thought he was pushing first round? I wish I had the data on how many rated a C preseason end up in the early rounds, though.

The trend last year was that his stock was rising, but he is as skinny as a rail @ 144#. That must be hurting him. He is the lightest guy on that list and only 1 other player is in the 140's, a lad from Deutschland. There's only 3 players in the 150#'s and 23 in the 160's.

For the record, he's listed @ 160# on UW's website, but that must be soaking wet while wearing some of Rumpel's gear.

Everyone is going to have different opinions on players, this is just one source. Would be a major surprise if he lasted past the third round, even in a good draft.

That's what I had thought, too. From my perspective as a Badger fan, he is what he his, and I suppose I'd rather have him get underrated than properly rated by NHL scouts. At this point, he's still just a dude from Alberta to me, as I haven't seen him play yet.

B1G Preseason Poll.

Good news: Preseason polls mean we are getting close to the season!

Bad news: Preseason Poles.

My guess was 3rd before I saw the pole, and I thought I might be a little high considering the youth, but I guess not.

What do you guys think of our USCHO ranking of 10th?

A little optimistic, but there's no way UND is 2.

Too high. Doubt you'd hear anyone here say otherwise. I was surprised to see them ranked so aggressively. Shows how much national writers and coaches pay attention.
