Prospect Info: Linus Weissbach (2017, 192nd) Signed by Frolunda, SHL

[Woodhouse]

Granato liked Weissbach's start obviously:

“What a great start for Linus,” Wisconsin coach Tony Granato said. “He’s got breakaway speed, great hands and is a good competitor for a smaller guy. He got two huge goals tonight and two goals on plays that not many players make. He’s going to be an exciting player for us and it was a big night for him.”

“Wags made that play by slowing it down and making a great saucer pass right into Linus’ wheelhouse,” Granato said. “Linus positioned himself well and made it hard for the goalie by shooting back to the weak side.”

Look at how Jesper Bratt is doing for NJ - 6th round pick in 2016 that's about to make the team.

It never hurts to take skilled Swedes in late rounds.

OK, trying to embed a youtube video on the new board.

Some slick finish on those goals. Sweet!

 

[Chainshot]

Simple feed, picks up an assist on the Badgers' first goal

Baker writes a slightly more dramatic telling. This is some creative writing masterclass shit

Hehe - I could get all glowing about him, but I thought he took a moment to corral a bouncing puck before gaining the line and feeding Fredric, then he moved deeper on RW while Fredric cut to the middle and pounded it home from the high slot.

[Snippit]

I think he got another point tonight?

We may have something here.

Yep, only assist on the first goal, Frederic. He was also on the ice for BC's second goal (Grando) but I haven't seen the replay yet.

[Woodhouse]

Pointless Oct14 at Merrimack and Oct20 vs NMU, but scored the fourth goal in the Oct21 4-0 win vs NMU in Green Bay: "Freshman Linus Weissbach added a goal for good measure in the third frame, one-timing a pass from the corner through traffic and past Mathias Israelsson, who took over the NMU net after the Badgers' third goal."

 

[Chainshot]

+1 through 1 period tonight against the Spartans. He didn't have a direct hand in any of the three goals, was driving wide, filling his lane on the 3-0 goal that I'm sure Ed Minny would like back.

 

[Chainshot]

Pick up the primary helper on the Badgers' 6th goal, putting it right in the defenseman's wheelhouse for a long-range one time bomb.

 

[Woodhouse]

Weissbach with a pair of goals in the second period to put Wisconsin ahead of Michigan 3-2 at 2nd INT.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Still love this 7th rounder pick. Rooting for this kid as he has some good moves.

 

[Chainshot]

That first goal from last night is very Olafsson-esque.

Weissbach Records 4 Points Over The Weekend For Wisconsin -
By Kris Baker @SabresProspects / SabresProspects.com

University of Wisconsin freshman Linus Weissbach (2017, seventh round) compiled four points over the weekend to help the Badgers earned a win and tie with conference rival Michigan and capture key points in the Big Ten Hockey standings.

After netting a pair of assists in a 7-3 shellacking of Michigan on Friday, Weissbach connected for the second two-goal game of the season Saturday as the Badgers played to a 4-4 tie with the Wolverines.



With the Badgers trailing 2-1, Weissbach snapped a five-game goal drought with a quick, high shot from the right face-off circle to knot the game at 10:51 of the middle frame.

Less than four minutes later, Wiessbach went to the net, stripped the puck from a defenseman who has collected a rebound, and deposited his second goal of the night to give the Badgers the 3-2 lead.

Weissbach now has five goals this season, which ranks third-most among the Badgers, and 10 total points in 13 games. Weissbach's markers have come with a 25 percent shooting percentage, good for second-best on the team.

1 assist in each of the last 2 games. Playing vs Casey this weekend. Is this game available to watch online somewhere? I want to watch Weissbach vs Casey. Right now they have the same PPG.. o0

 

[Chainshot]

Nice keep on a bouncing puck at the blueline, feeds Dhooghe who finishes. Linus with the primary.

 

[Woodhouse]

Weissbach left Friday's game in the second period and is out tonight.

Why did this kid go so late? Size? Looks like a very legit NHL prospect

Being a 19 year old tends to push a player's draft position down.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Another assist for Weissbach yesterday. 6 games point streak (2G, 6A)

Victory slips away from No. 12 Badgers

Too early of course... but if we hit on 2 rounders in him and Olofson that would make up for some of the other crappy drafting we have experienced in the early 2010s.

 

[Chainshot]

Feeds the point on the PP, Kalynuk lets go a bomb that Dhooghe deflects in, Badgers 1-0
