Delivering on promise to boost defensive play, Linus Weissbach gives 'a clinic' for Wisconsin Badgers

A few days old but an article about how Linus is not just a passenger on the Badgers. Quick thinking with the puck and strong defensive game. Granato is doing us favors helping Weissbach round out his game.

Milewski is a good follow on Twitter for Badger news too.

rare Thursday night game. On BTN tonight at 7PM

Penn State is taking the wood to the Badgers

Some late push. I like seeing Linus taking the draw on the late 5-on-3 and then creating something after they re-established possession. But yeah, Penn St. is the better team tonight.

More physical and simpler in their zone coverage.

The Lions finish every hit.

Granted, it seems the Badgers' enforcer is 5'9" Roman Ahcan. What the hell.

Hard to believe the shots are equal. The Badgers goatlender is weak.

Jones is dynamite.

Obligatory Weissbach reference: he got the primary on Caufield's 7th of the season.

Weissbach might be hearing from the B1G for this...

Yeah, you can't do that, terribly dangerous hit.



I've said this before though, in NCAA hockey they give zero f***s about each other, everyone on the ice is in kill mode. And often times the refs let the situation escalate by calling loose games.

Full face masks and no fighting, with only a couple games a week, makes boys very bold.

I suspect if a guy Weissbach's size tried that in the O, he would be swallowing his own teeth by the end of the game.

Testosterone and collegiate rooting interests make it even more heightened. Ahcan on the Badgers did this sort of hit in Happy Valley too after PSU was getting physical. Maybe Granato’s not teaching them to respect their opponents.

I remember watching Brook Orpik's brother, I want to say Andrew, absolutely blow someone up, open ice, nowhere near the puck, worse than the old Bure Elbow. It was insane and in any league other than ncaa it would have been a full brawl.

I was thinking back to when Kassian was a prospect. He would have been better off going to d1 in his draft year like Jack, he wouldn't have picked up a suspension all year.

Disclaimer: I'm saying in an alternative reality where he wasn't in O at all and eligible. And didn't go to house parties.etc

Considering Zack’s off-ice issues, I don’t think that was ever an option.

Something to not overlook is that Linus has only 1 assist in his last 6 games, punctuated with the 5-and-a-game incident in the OSU game above. The Badgers need him to be better. At one point I was wondering if he'd be in the running as a possible Sheary replacement as early as next year, but right now, looking in on some Wisconsin games and wonder at his readiness for the pro game, let alone competing for a roster spot out of camp.

Did he get suspended?

 

[Chainshot]

Did he get suspended?

He got a game and is already back.

 

[Chainshot]

Picked up the 2ndary assist on Caufield's third of the game, putting the Badgers up 4-3 on the Irish.

I don't know of he will be an NHL'er, but this guy is FAST. You can go pretty far with just a set of wheels.

I am less impressed by him now than I was when he played with Frederic.

I was just coming in here to ask you how he’s looked overall. Disappointing.

I certainly haven’t seen him at his best so far this year.
