I've watched wisconsin hockey for about 6 years now, and in most respects I
would have to agree with you.  This year's team is young & lacks some of
the raw talent of past teams, but they also work harder than most of the
other Wisconsin teams I've seen.  I think they'll get better & better as
the season goes on and they gain experience.  The Showcase, I think, will
serve as a great experience for later in the season when playoff
crunch-time arrives.
