I normally just scan the Badgers' game notes, but I gotta tell ya, I like this week's a lot. All sorts of nice things about All-American Candidate Jamie McBain, Blake Geoffrion, Aaron Bendickson, Derek Stepan, and Ben Grotting.

By the way, I wanted to include this blurb from the Badger Women's Hockey Insider email:

Last weekend in Minnesota Duluth I did the first women's hockey blogs of the season. From a lot of the comments I feel it was pretty successful and I look forward to doing it again when we hit the road. I got some feedback and I will try to implement those suggestions in my future blogs. If anyone has suggestions or comments, feel free to e-mail me by replying to this e-mail or contacting me at jb5@athletics.wisc.edu.

I thought Jacqueline did quite a nice job last weekend, and I look forward to following her game blogs in the future. Thanks for doing this, Jacqueline!
