Re: WISCONSIN HOCKEY 09-10 - Climbing The Mountain (7th Edition?)
Mixed feelings on the weekend for me. Friday showed good initial effort and then with a couple of defensive breakdowns and a lack of finishing/hitting pipes they ended up losing. Then they looked a little more tired and less put together last night, only managing a tie. Overall, I expected more than one point out of this weekend; it may be the first two games this team has played, but it's still a home conference series and you still need to get some more points out of it.
Nonetheless, I think we saw some talent and some bright spots. Both the goaltenders looked fine; Bennett does handle the puck nicely though he made me a little nervous once or twice there, and Goody was solid on Saturday. Our freshman really don't look that freshman-like; I was extremely impressed with the two freshmen D as there was not nearly the number of errors I might have expected given just that freshmen D tend to be scary.
They've got to start putting together some wins, though, and soon; I have higher expectations for this team than the one-point weekend we ultimately got.
