Re: Wisconsin Hockey: Vol. XX - Growth Through Experience
Another couple of reasons for the recent struggles are Lee (the 3rd best forward) and McCabe (top d pair) have missed the last 3 series at least. You can't replace that kind of experience/talent. Now Little is out 3-6 weeks, so amazingly, every forward playing for UW is a Fr or So. Has that ever happened in the history of college hockey with a non-start up program?
Line-up observations....Woods on the top line, LaBate @ center on the 2nd line with Mersch & Paape. That 2nd line looks interesting. Maybe LaBate can flourish as a creator, and Paape has a nose to be in the right place at the right time, Mersch can bang and score.
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving fellow UW hockey fans.
