I'm extremely skeptical. I'm quite excited about Skille coming in and possibly joining the Earl-Pavelski line (though I'll admit that I've never seen him play.) If Wisconsin can score some goals next year, it'll definitely make up for some of the rookie mistakes their goalies make. I have no argument that says the Badgers are any better than 5th in the WCHA at this time in the off-season, and I really don't think anyone except extreme homers and optimists believe they can finish above the Frozen Four teams of '05 next year. But you never know what can happen, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1120788647993697862005-07-07T21:10:00.000-05:002005-07-07T21:10:00.000-05:00I'm not judging them just based on that NCAA game....I'm not judging them just based on that NCAA game...I watched em a few times on Fox Sports and they didn't impress me a whole lot then either, though I think that was all in the second half of the year too. A lot depends on Connelly. Skille's a beast...watched him at USA several times and he's just awesome. It wouldn't shock me if they're real good but I'm not convinced. I mean heck...you could make the argument that they might only be the fifth best team in their own conference with Denver, CC, Minnesota, and NoDak bringing a lot of people back. Of course 5th in the WCHA still probably makes you a top 10 team at worst.<BR/>-TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1120714448741075202005-07-07T00:34:00.000-05:002005-07-07T00:34:00.000-05:00In response to your doubting of the 2005-06 Badger...In response to your doubting of the 2005-06 Badgers:<BR/><BR/>Last year, the Badgers basically gave up on the season after their loss to the Gophers with 40 seconds left in Madison. The second half of their season went completely downhill after that, and they had layed down for dead by the time they played Michigan. So I don't really feel anyone has the right to judge last years team as a whole based on that NCAA game, because that was pitiful and does not represent the team fairly, because they were always atleast CLOSE in all other losses in the second half. That said, I don't think next years team will be much of an improvement from last year, because I believe the loss of Bruckler will hurt more than anyone expects. They should have better scoring next season, however, with the addition of Skille, Gorowsky and Street. A top-five preseason pick doesn't seem too logical to me either, because as a whole, the team is unproven with the absense of Bruckler between the pipes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-1120674532557067092005-07-06T13:28:00.000-05:002005-07-06T13:28:00.000-05:00Packer - now I have to read Blue Ice again - thank...Packer - now I have to read Blue Ice again - thanks :).
