  • Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXXIII: A Fanbase Gets Smarter When All The Idiots Jump Shi

    Captain Kunin has 5 goals in the last two (somewhat lopsided) games for USA at the World Championships. Semi final showdown with Canada is on tap for tomorrow morning.

      I guess this does enforce the idea that Eaves is getting a season (hopefully just this one) to save his job.

      I'll agree with others that this is counterproductive. While I don't trust the powers that be to actually do it, this makes it that much more important to make sure that we get good hires on the assistants this year. At least one of them needs to be a viable head coach to assure recruits that things will be going the right direction when the (hopefully) inevitable thing happens next season.

      At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

      Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

        Is the U18 game on TV anywhere tomorrow or only streaming? I might not be out of bed in time to watch it live....

          I agree. With it still being 4 years, and not 5, it does not undercut Eaves at all They just lessened the buyout amount by 1 year. That is a good thing, right?

          Great news on Captain Kunin!

          Denver just lost a paid assistant, now UW may be competing with them for an assistant coach, but I doubt Montgomery and Eaves are traveling in the same circle.

            So I can see Bessee..Hughes and Malone front line for the Badgers. Then Rockwood..Kunin....and Frederic on 2nd line. Those would be 2 pretty good front lines which all you need to be competitive in the lowly L6 hockey conference

                    I would just like to thank Chuck (Andy) for his great contributions to information and excellent writing all these years. I go back to the 60 Minute Blog with him and have enjoyed the back and forth on Twitter . At some point I must have ****ed him off because he stopped responding to me and now I see I am blocked from his handle. I apologize for whatever caused that to happen.
                    You will be missed in the Badger Hockey community. Good luck with your future endeavors.

                      So Eaves' contract won't be extended but he will be allowed to finish it out through the 18-19 season. Seems a bit weird to make this type of announcement so soon. Will his heart be truly invested over the next four years?! What does everyone think?

                        Literally nothing has changed. The announcement was that the University didn't add an extra year to his current contract. They could do what they did, which was nothing, or extend him for an extra year. How would it have looked to the fans if they tacked an extra year on to his deal after winning four games in 34 tries? The only option was to leave the contract as it is.

                          I've never managed a team. But it seems difficult on recruiting to announce a coaching change so far out.

                            It's a bit presumptuous to think that he'll be allowed to finish out the 18-19 season, much less to consider this an "announced coaching change". Literally the only thing they've done is not extend his contract such as to send a message and to minimize the buyout if he gets fired.

                            Granted, if he didn't get fired this offseason, it's hard to imagine what he'd have to do to actually lose his job outright.

                              Jeez, I hope no feelings were hurt.

                              *The money I'm saving by not buying season tickets is already in a "hockey slush" fund to see the NHL in St. Paul, Chicago, and hopefully Nashville when I visit MCR Jr in Louisville........a double road trip. The U.W. hockey program won't miss my money in particular, but it looks like there are thousands more jumping the sinking ship.*

                                Excellent point. I was shocked BA didn't can Kelsey after their digression this season. Maybe BA's bosses need to pay attention to that is going on.
