OFFICIAL Wisconsin Badgers Hockey Thread Part II

I've been working on projecting their lineups, interesting to see what you had. I agree that Weissbach (or Dhooghe) ought to be with the lottery guys. Interesting to think about how Pelton-Byce could be used coming off a year of not playing competitive hockey. So rare to add a piece like him to the mix on a team that needs all of what he's got vis-a-vis size, skill, experience..

Miller and Emberson had real solid showings at the WJSS. Even past them this is a d-corps where everyone could end up playing pro hockey at a decent level

 

I am cautiously optimistic about this team. Loads on loads of talent, just need to put it all together. I am really hoping for a tournament bid.

 

Fun series coming up this weekend against UBC for Bucky

 

We did a Big Ten fantasy draft on my site, also a secondary competition for bragging rights open to the public - if anyone wants to take part let me know... just pick the three players you think will have the most points in big ten play before Sept 15: 2019-20 Big Ten Fantasy Draft

 

Wisconsin picked 3rd in preseason poll I think that is about right

 

where can you stream (legal) Wisconsin home games? I had the big 10 network channel but haven't followed Wisconsin since McDonagh was there. Do they stream their home games or is it just Big 10 Network plus that streams games since they don't seem to have the home opener.

 

You can stream the BTN games on the Fox Sports App and the two ESPNU games are on the ESPN App. BTN+ for the other games.

 

I get the BTN channel but they don't show enough Wisconsin games, was hoping there was something like NCHC.tv but for the Big 10 as NCHC.tv rocks since you know you are getting all the home games of every NCHC team regardless of tv. I've mostly been following SCSU, Denver, and Northeastern the past few years but now with Caufield there I want to see every game, I don't have a problem paying for it. Last year I watched a few Wisconsin games on tv through BTN but I didn't really care if I saw their games or not as the had one player on the team I wanted to see and he was a later round pick of the Habs.

BTN+ so far only has a schedule up for Oct and they don't have single Wisconsin game, just Penn St. That doesn't even make sense, how are they only showing Penn St games?

All games broadcast by FOX Sports Regional Networks can also be streamed live via the web, smartphones, tablets and connected devices on the FOX Sports GO app for authenticated subscribers to the broadcasting regional network, or on BTN+.

Television schedule announced for Wisconsin men's hockey | Wisconsin Badgers

 

thanks, Wisconsin should add that to their schedule as they have the tv games but nothing else, and I didn't think to look for another place on their site.

How good is that Caufield kid eh?

 

Is he a one and done or will he stick around for 2-3 years?

 

Can't see more than 2. Habs fans will be screeching for him come end of winter... never have enough goalscoring. Would love to see the historic type of numbers he could put up as an upperclassman though

 

Man to be honest, I'm just following Caufield in the NCAA hoping that he can break some goal scoring records there. Everywhere he has played, in spite of the controversy surrounding his height, he has proved people wrong, and dominated. I can't see how it could be any different now. He's playing against men now, and he's still scoring.

 

I really think any concerns about scoring in college (and in pro tbh) should be gone now. He was scoring on Spencer Knight who is a stud in his first game (twice). The question, which it always has been for me, is how much is he going to score, how effective can he be in other facets of the game, etc.

 

What a great win for a young team. Long ways to go to play how they’re capable of but man is this gonna be a fun year

 

can't wait for tomorrow night, UMD were tilted to lose this game once they went down two core defenseman in the first period IMO, forty minutes leaning on a handful of guys is too much against this group. UMD are going to be fired up with a lot to prove...

 

How is Holloway looking? Top 6 nhler?

 

Very good hockey game Friday night @ Kohl. Badgers came out on fire & scored their first two goals on successive shifts. But Penn State eventually tied it at 3's, before Wisconsin put in the game winner with just over a minute left in regulation. Good team speed & crisp passing & mostly solid goaltending for both sides. Crowd size was lower than I'd expected, with lots of empty seats even in the lower bowl; maybe the bitter cold kept folks at home, or maybe Valentine's Day had a lot of hockey fans otherwise occupied. But those who attended - including my wife 'n' me - were treated to a very entertaining 60 minutes of hockey.

Now it's time to thaw out some before attending Saturday afternoon's Lady Badgers game hosting Ohio State. Cold weather & hockey - they were made for each other.
