Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2016-2017
My thoughts on this past weekend games at St. Cloud: I'm not worried at all about the Pankowski-Clark-Cogan line. They seemed to find their mojo in the third period of game #2 and I fully expect them to be on the same page with one another in 2 weeks vs. Ohio St. The same can be said about the McKibbon-Nurse-Norby line. There is obvious chemistry between McKibbon and Nurse. It will take time for Norby to learn how to play with that pair. She is someone who was used to having the puck on her stick a lot in high school and now she must learn to play with out it on many shifts. She is a smart player though and will figure it out! The line of Shaver-Roque-Wellhausen was the most impressive I thought. Throughout both games they created scoring chances on pretty much every shift. If it wasn't for the stellar play of Taylor Crosby in net in game #2 this line could have easily had three or four more goals. Wellhausen has always been a fast and hard working player but, she seemed to have even more in the gas tank this past weekend. That entire line really compliments each others talents really well. Shaver and Wellhausen have all kinds of speed and create chances everywhere and Roque has really great hands and is hockey smart! Our defense made a few mistakes in both games but, that will be cleaned up through more practice. (they have had only 2 as a full team) It sure was great to see Rolfes back on the ice! Such a good player! All in all a very good weekend for the Badgers! Really excited for this season!
