    Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol I: Dawn of the Fifth Age of UW Hockey!

    Anything's possible, but FWIW he does seem to have a lot of titles (as in job titles) at Penticton. Theoretically, that means he has more to give up there (including, presumably, some autonomy), even if this job would still be a "promotion" for him.
    If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

    BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


    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.

      This just gives the UW maximum latitude. After the 25th they have the legal right to move whenever they want.

        I hate things that contradict like that. At any rate, this hire could be done 3/26 or any day after, which I like. No need to rush into it, which is what I had feared.

              I think probably a combo of his star has dimmed somewhat and not an overly realistic candidate for other reasons. He just ended his 2nd disappointing out of the last 3 seasons and since he went back to back frozen fours he is mostly (other then one regional final loss) one and done or fails to make the tourney. Add in the fact that he signed a 10 year deal in 2013 (no idea if it has rolling add on years) and is reputed to have a compensation package in the 550K range (300K base plus bonuses and other perks), it would seem financially a stretch to steal him away. Throw in Miami is his alma mater and they have made commitments financially to facilities at Miami (new rink in 06/07 and a pretty regular flow of other improvements since) and all the pieces end up to not making much sense.

              Not sure an expensive guy with his heart elsewhere that has 2 Frozen Four appearance in 17 years of head coaching on his resume that otherwise has managed to win 3 singular first round games in the NCAA tourney is much of an upgrade.

                  I don't think this one is likely, but I have heard it brought up at a local rink: Chris Brooks.

                    Brian Posick said this morning that he met with Barry Friday afternoon. Brian thinks it will be a former Badger. Alvarez said he has a plan and the plan "will knock your socks off."

And I'm gonna put in the right coach and you're going to love him. He's gonna knock your socks off and be a winner. Not a loser like that @$#! in Minnesota. That place is just full of haters and losers, like those miserable idiots on the USCHO forums. None of them have a clue what they're doing. Not aktick, not that fat guy ExileOnDaytonstreet, TimA... nobody. Not even Wisko McBadgerton, who's a good friend of mine.

                      But that Brick Hoser kid, we can't let that happen again. I mean, do we even know what's going on with our border these days? You got kids going here, kids going there, and they're not staying here. They're letting other guys come in and take our roster spots. So we're going to just build a wall around the state, and Minnesota and North Dakota are going to pay for it and not take our kids anymore. And if they don't like that, then that walls going to be... *takes off shoes and socks* ... like this many higher. But really, we need to stop letting coaches from other states into Wisconsin until we can figure out just what. in. the. heck. is. going. on!

                      And you know you can trust me. I've hired so many coaches. I've hired all the coaches, and I've never made a bad choice. You know what you're going to get from my coaches. I tell it like it is, I tell it like I see it, and we're the real state of hockey over here, you know? We're gonna be great again, and this new coach is gonna be yyyyuuuuuge. Fantastic. Real great guy. He'll be great. Fantastic. YYYYYUUUUUUGE. He will knock your socks off. Because we just don't win anymore, you know? We need to win again, we're going to win again, we're going to make Wisconsin great again.

                      Oh, and to answer your question, waiter, we'll have two king cut prime ribs, tails on, with a pint of tears. *turns to wife* What do you want, honey?
