Wisconsin Hockey 2018-2019: We can have a witty thread title when we start winning

[digitalbooya]

I think Inamoto and Tischke need to sit a game. Those two were consistently burned all weekend. Kalynuk needs to realize that hockey is a team sport and that if he passes the puck he just might get it back. I’m pretty sure Gorniak was benched for a little bit after his moronic slashing penalty on the power play. Hope Weissbach is back next weekend to bump Gorniak down a peg in the lineup.

Lastly, Lebedeff deserves the net until further notice. He was outstanding. His three goals against were a horrible turnover by Ess giving UND a shot in close, a breakaway where Inamoto got burned, and a 5-on-3 snipe.

Agreed on all points, especially Lebedeff.

On the bight side, the rodents possibly suck worse than we do right now. Their coach threw the team under the bus. A sweep of the rodents will be the perfect salve for our ailment.

The Finish Hammer needs to stay in goal.

I hope Linus is back this week.

We get to watch the games on tv this weekend, that will be fun.

Pairwise we are 36 or near the bottom third of all college hockey. Minnesota isn't much better at 23.

When was the last time you saw these PW rankings among the so-called "elite?"

UND: 14
UMinn 23
UMich 27
UW 36
BU 42
BC 53

Sure, it's too early for PW to make real sense, but still.

No Linus this weekend, maybe longer.....The big Fin getting the start Friday.

A couple items from Tony Granato's press conference today: #Badgers forward Linus Weissbach probably won't be available against Minnesota, maybe longer, after he missed last weekend's series at North Dakota with a hand injury.

Granato also said there's a good chance that Daniel Lebedeff will start in goal on Friday for the #Badgers. Jack Berry has started in the first four Friday games this season.

Here we go. The bullschitt's behind us. League play begins against "those" guys. Both teams not where they want to be right now.

2 home games, how about 2 great games and a sweep?

Alright, stocked up on thinner, stocked up on hatred of all things rodentsota and ready to watch Mersch hip check Ranta over the glass and Granato crush Motzko during post-game hand shakes.

Dirty lousy cheating rodents!

“Hey Herbie, it’s your turn to buy!”

Remember when the Strobels had Bonin (or was it Rasmussen?) and Crowley down on the ice wailing on them at the coliseum??

Yeah, some of that please. Bucky is ****ed off.

This will be the 287th meeting between the Mighty Badgers and the lowly goofs. With both teams getting swept last weekend, I wondered how many times, if ever, they have opened a regular season series in that state of affairs.

The answer is, as far as I can tell, only twice.

The last time was at Minnesota in February 1978 with the goofs having been swept by CC and the Badgers swept by the Pio's the previous weekend. Badger Bob's Boys lost in OT 2-3 Friday but came back Saturday night against Herbie's hoser's, 3-1, for the split.

Last time they met in Madison under these conditions was in March 1973 for the regular season finale. Like now, the Badgers dropped 2 at Sue's place and the goofs were swept by an in-state little sister (UMD) coming in. The Badger's 4-3 loss Friday turned out to be their last L of the year. They came back Saturday and blanked the goofs 3-0 before sweeping them the next weekend, beating Notre Dame for the WCHA title, and taking down Cornell, then Denver, for the NCAA title. A pretty good year.

The Blackhawks just canned Quenneville, Dineen, and Samuelsson. The Ice Hogs coach, Jeremy Colliton is the head coach and Barry Smith is an assistant. No mention of Don Granato in any publication that I could find. There was one statement that the rest of the staff will remain.

So.....if Don left us to become the heir apparent with the Blackhawks; INSERT LOUD BUZZER HERE.

Wonder if Quenneville will find his way to St. Louis. Yeo is probably next to go. Cool news if Don Granato is named the head coach during the offseason. I still hate the blackhawks though.

Quenneville did his time in St. Louis for 7 or 8 years. They won't hire him back. If Yeo gets fired, he'd be a 2-time loser and probably won't be a HC again.

IMO, if Chicago wanted Don as the HC, they would have appointed him NOW; why would they wait until the off-season since he's already on the staff?

I wish he would have stayed with the Badgers.

That's probably agreed on by 100% of the UW posters.

Lebby has a .922 save % and Jack an .860. I think we have our answer.

Interestingly the coach for Team USA U18 5 Nations cup is a guy from Neenah, John Wroblewski.
