  • Re: Fire Mike Eaves?

    My mouth literally dropped open upon hearing that score from last night.

    What in the world is going on?

      Cute.

      It used to be like that nightly. The 100s and 200s used to be completely full and the 300s were typically at least half full... EVERY game.

      We sold out one night against Minnesota last season. I guess things are just fine after all...

        Tech is actually quite good and we've probably never been worse.

          Tech looked pretty unmotivated against Michigan at the GLI. I was there on the glass and they didn't look like they did the last time the two played.

          I'm really interested to see this game on BTN tonight.

            This. I have seen a couple games this year, and while I lean towards Tech (they are my lil' sister team) in bias...they are actually good this year. And agree that WI is about as bad as can be. Admittedly, this does not displease me.

              What are you talking about? Mi got worked in that GLI game. Sometimes the team that plays best doesn't always win in college hockey, and that was the case at the GLI.

              That game reminded me of the 2011 Nat'l Semi between UND and Mi, where UND beat the hell out of the Wolverines for 3 periods and somehow managed to lose.

                    "Probably"?

                    For historical perspective: Our worst modern era record is 12-24-2 (.342 win%). It will be amazing if this doesn't become the worst season since the depression.

                      What about Mel Pearson as a UW coaching candidate? He's got big school experience and his style of play was fun to watch yesterday. The only ? is would he leave UW to replace Red if he ever does retire?

                          So it looks like he's making $300k per year at his alma mater. A school that actually supports hockey rather than an AD that wants to kill it.

                          I don't see pearson as a candidate.

                            tMel is going NOWHERE. He even dismissed rumors of him going back to Michigan when Red retires.

                              I think if we're being fair, it wasn't like that when Eaves was hired, (attendance in his first year is pretty close to this year's) then it was like that for quite awhile, and now it's not like that again.


                              If it's strictly fans in seats driven, the best suggestion I've heard was to hire Shannon Miller and move MJ over. (I love Mark Johnson, but he still wouldn't be my first choice as successor.) But he's wildly popular in Madison, and Wisconsin. And in the entire USA hockey world in general... and I wouldn't be surprised if in his in his first year he couldn't put another 2-3k old faithful fans in seats just by being behind the bench. Whether or not he could produce contenders or not is a different question, but it would make short term financial sense.

                                The name I'm surprised I haven't heard is Gwoz. I remember hearing a rumor back when he was fired that he was only coming back for a big ten or hockey helmet school.

                                But then again you have an administration that doesn't give two ****s about hockey.
