Yet still before their last two regular season series vs. Minnesota-Duluth and Minnesota.

It could also be earlier than 6 weeks. I'm sure they are probably targeting a return against North Dakota, but obviously who knows how rehab will go. Again, the way she went down and reacted, it seemed to be much worse. It's all about being healthy at the end of the season.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2016-2017

The players are back at practice with games @ Lindenwood this upcoming weekend. I thought UW was going to be missing some Canadians this weekend (Nurse & Clark?)......I'll have to do some digging.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2016-2017

Clark and Nurse are playing for Canada in the 2017 Nations Cup, of which the US is not part of, interestingly enough. That will jiggle some lines. It will be neat to see how MJ formulates the line-up. I would assume he'll leave Wellhausen/Shaver/Roque alone and just plug Mauermann and Johnson into the holes in the top 2 lines. Or he could take the opportunity to go nuts and run all sorts of new combos out there.

Re: Wisconsin Badgers 2016-2017

Listened to the WI Hockey Hour......MJ was very encouraged by ARD's current condition. He won't commit to a timetable, but it sure seemed like sooner than later. Listening to his reaction to her injury as he watched on tv was a trip. He basically freaked out like we all did. Of course he called the GM of Team Canada right away whereas we just freaked out on message boards.

Should be an exciting second half of the season for the Badgers! Cece will get some valuable time in goal over the next couple of weeks it looks like. Hopefully the team stays hot and continues to put the puck in the net the way they did the last two weekends before the break!

Per team Twitter, looks like Mauermann goes to the top line and Johnson fills in on the 2nd line. Should be interesting.

So the good news is that the Badgers roll Friday night 5-1 behind Cogan's two goals. The bad news:

Umm, ok. That sucks.

The "facility issue" was a Carbon Monoxide leak that caused 1 Badger and everyone on Lindenwood's team to be checked out at the Hospital! (One of the minor details left out of the press release.)

Yeah, I figured it was some issue with the quality of the issue or something rather benign. No big deal...just some carbon monoxide poisoning requiring hospitalization. Fortunately they are back home in the friendly confines of LaBahn for the next three weeks.

WI State Journal's Todd Milewski tweets that "the badgers are now all OK and headed back to Madison".

As someone from northern VA (i.e. where I'll be for Thanksgiving 2017), this is awesome.

So it's a WCHA/Hockey East challenge....thanks for the heads up, great news.

Too bad the 2nd Lindenwood game was cancelled, I was looking forward to seeing how those line combo's were going to work out in the 2nd game. Cogan played center for the first time and tallied 2 goals, looks like the Mauermann/Cogan/Pankowski line was working pretty good.

They also scored a PPG! It's a miracle.
