Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

Zirbel, Ford, Cavallini, Ustaski. Labosky led the USHL in scoring in the playoffs, can't really see him not on the ice.

Also wouldn't be surprised to see Soleway sit a couple games. If the new coaching staff wants to be more upbeat with a new system, a slow Soleway won't fit that mold.

Soleway is the number one face off guy and and energy guy and should be on the ice.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

My take on the lines-

Hughes-Kunin-Besse. Found a lot of success later on last year. I thought having Kunin/Besse around Hughes made him more of a threat. This line will put up big numbers. I expect Besse to have a breakout year

Johnson-Frederic-Zimmer. I like the potential of these guys. Johnson and Zimmer are fast skaters who will find the back of the net more often this year. Frederic is a two way player who loves to play close to the net.

Labosky-Malone-Soleway. Labosky and Malone can pass and score. A lot of potential with those 2. I am really hoping for a bounce back year for Jed.

Freytag-Wagner-Ford/Ustaski- Freytag has potential to put up some points. Wagner is a beast by the net.

Linhart-Greenway-both can score. Greenway has big time potential.
Davison-Tischke- Davison needs to play better D this year; he proved he could score last year. Tischke is a sleeper; big and strong. Looked lost at times last year.
Sexton-Bunz/McGuire-

Jurusik should be in net but Berry has talent and could challenge Jurusik for PT.

Zimmer/Kunin/Besse

This line brought a smile to my face. I really like Hughes a lot, but Zimmer is a better player and will take this line over the top.

Oh Baby! Put the biscuits on the ice and let's roll!

Is it funny that I heard Posick's voice in my head when I read 'Oh, Baby!'

Hi old friends.

This Packer Backer and former 30+ year season ticket holder will be slowly jumping back on the bandwagon. Take it easy on me. I'm no con or hybs.

Ahh yes, Cons, Hybs, Joey V, Hallucination just to name a few old timers who have come and gone......they all wised up and thought "why the blank am I posting on a college hockey site, there's no much more to life". There's always welcoming arms to come back to the craziness. Hockey is life, life is good.

How could I forget Joey V?!

I only say Packer Backer because I'm up GB way now, used to be near Madison. Gave up my season tix around 2012. Sadly, didn't regret it. And last season was the first time in my life I didn't go to a game...

Tim, the muskies are really starting to hit on Green Bay...spot in the boat for you anytime.

WHOA! My sons (18 & 20) want to fish GBay of Pigs this fall, we may have to try and get a 2 boat effort out there. I am not equipped for trolling at all, don't know if that is a problem or not. He was out trolling with 2 friends in another boat a month ago and landed one 50 on the GBay of Pigs. We fished Waubesa last weekend and did not connect, not even a follow. One son fished Monona the other night and had a 50+ follow in but not eat. This is getting close to feedbag season. I have a 16' deep V with a 90 4 stroke, so I should be able to get out there provided no big big winds come up. We had a hairy experience this summer @ Peninsula St. Park and some big rollers snuck up on us. When the distance between the tops of the rollers is longer than your boat, it's gonna be ugly and wet. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....

A couple thoughts on line combinations...

Wagner was the third leading goal scorer last season, can't see him playing fourth line minutes.

I read that Frederic struggled to start last year on top line but flourished when moved to second line. I think UW should put him in a second line role.

Kunin is likely going to draw opposing teams' best defensemen (and he'll still produce)...hopefully a second and third line can take advantage of easier defensive pairings.

Soleway is great at face offs but always has a terrible +/-. I'm not sure what the answer is for him except it better involve other forwards that are good defensively.

Good ole plus-minus...I still remember that year Jeff Schultz was robbed of the Norris. /s

The UW has released the TV/online streaming schedule for the year.

Quite a few regular season games on TV and/or streaming. Makes me happy down here in Georgia.

So if I don't have BTN, but subscribe to BTN plus, I can get the BTN2GO Streams correct? but not games that are on BTN? I think it is really confusing....
