2 Different teams then when they met in week one. As a badger fan I'm excited to get back to WCHA play but these next 3 weeks will tell a lot about what kind of team we have...

Re: Wisconsin @ C.C. - 2nd Edition - 2 Different Teams
I'm sure members of the Pioneer coaching staff will head down to Colorado Springs to scout this series, as DU has a bye this week and heads to Madison next week.
As Pioneer fan, the best outcome we could hope for is a pair of ties that keep both teams treading water in the WCHA.
This should be a very entertaining series. Both teams love to skate and that should be enhanced on the big ice. I think UW is little more talented, but CC will want to get some points this weekend after a rough trip to Duluth last weekend and should be very motivated on home ice.

It's going to be a big weekend for Wisconsin. It's time for the boys to step up and get a meaningful sweep on the road to really set the pace for the second half of the season. Can't afford anything less than a series split this weekend, that's for sure.Wisconsin Hockey is life... Everything else is just filler.

Re: Wisconsin @ C.C. - 2nd Edition - 2 Different Teams
With all the players back from the World Jr's, and everyone healthy, going to be some pretty interesting battles for ice time among the forwards.
The First Line is the only unit that I think is set in stone.
Here is my picks to take to CC.
Murray - Geoffrion - C. Smith
Bendy - Stepan - Davies
Bomber - Thurber - Street
Mitchell - Dolan - Grotting/Johnson
I think Lee has played himself out of the lineup, he was invisiable in the Showdown and did not win many battles against the U-18 boys. You have to keep Stepan and Davies together as they are the two most creative players on the team. Thurber has been a nice surprise since his return to the lineup and has been both productive and physical in his play, I don't see how you can send him back to the stands when you compare his play to Lee, Mitchell, Johnson and Dolan's. That being said, I think you can create a whole host of options with the 3rd and 4th lines.

Can't remember the site, might be able to find the info on CC's website. I've paid for the games there before, if you REALLY want to watch it, it's worth it. Stream quality is generally iffy at best, but it's better than nothing, that's for sure.Wisconsin Hockey is life... Everything else is just filler.

It's like 7 bucks or somethin for a game. Hope that helps."In heaven there is no beer. NO BEER! That's why we drink it here. RIGHT HERE!"

Any other Wisconsin fans comin' to the games this weekend? I'll be at both games with my family...heading to Outback Steakhouse (just outside the World Arena) before the game, both nights. A couple of years ago, we had quite a few Badger fans in Outback. (CCTig...you're invited too!)
Should be a tough and very entertaining series this weekend.
Cheers,
Bullitt

CC had a pretty easy road in the 1st half of the season, and had Eaves scheduled an exhibition before that opening series, I don't think CC would have won on friday night (since the Badgers handed to them anyway). The Badgers need to come out and kick butt from the first puck drop to the last buzzer on saturday. Time to be a contender.
I agree on Thurber get him in there. They had Street at wing against U18 and I thought that wasn't a bad spot for him. He is a good centerman, but his line is just not doing much offensively so why not stir the pot some and try something different.Sixty Minutes. No Alibis. No Regrets.

Hey, thanks for the responses.
For some reason I thought it would be more in the $4-$5 dollar range. I still might give it a shot on one of the nights though, due to a string of weird circumstances I haven't watched the Badgers in over a month.

F Jordy Murray-Blake Geoffrion-Craig Smith
F Ben Street-Stepan-Michael Davies
F John Mitchell-Aaron Bendickson-Ben Grotting
F Andy Bohmbach-Matt Thurber-Patrick Johnson
UW's lines from practice yesterday. The John Mitchell-Aaron Bendickson-Ben Grotting is an ugly line. I see that line as more of a 4th line and the Thurber line as the 3rd line. Thurber and Bohmber with thier speed is a nice combo. I'd like to see a better finisher than Johnson with them, but I don't know who....maybe Lee (based on skill set and not performance)?
Trends...UW is coming off taking 3 of 4 pts @ the Showdown with a partial roster and a thumping of the U18 team and CC is coming off a bad weekend @ da Dawgs. Both teams need a sweep, who will get it?Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!
