  • Re: Wisconsin Hockey G2O - Making UW Hockey Great Again

    I was cruising the NHL Network and happened to come across this half way through the interview. I think he will make the roster.

      I think he will play 9 games for Minnesota. Main competition is Eriksson Ek and I think JEE has the edge right now. I don't see Kunin playing on the 4th line. Current lineup:

      Zucker-Koivu-Granlund
      Nino-Staal-Coyle
      Parise-JEE-Ennis
      Foligno-4C-Stewart

      Edit: I guess I didn't consider an Ennis injury. In that case he'd be very likely to be on the roster.

          Most game times are not announced until the basketball and TV schedules are finalized. That shouldn't have an impact on a game in October since basketball doesn't start until November...but they usually do all of the finalized times in one announcement.

              Best picture that I have seen so far of the new video board, and it looks AWESOME!!!

              Shameless self-plug...I work for the company that makes the hoist that will move that beast up and down. Manufactured just down the road in beautiful Mazomanie, WI.

                Is it bigger than the previous one? Looks more sleek and I imagine the picture will be much better.

                  It is a slightly different approach. The old system had 4 defined "sides", each with a low-res panel on top for stats and a high-res panel on the bottom for video.

                  It looks like this is going with a ring around the top and a much larger panel on the bottom that. The bottom panel is also curved to provide better viewing angles.

                  I asked Todd if he had any compare/contrast numbers for the old system vs the new system. Screen sizes, resolutions, etc. He said that he had asked but had not yet received any answers. I'm sure that UWBadgers.com will put up some sort of article about it when it is all installed.

                    Speaking of new things coming to the Kohl Center...

                    Aspire Out, Gatorade In?

                    It looks like Aspire has folded after only one year of their partnership with UW.

                    From reading the article, it looks like Gatorade will be coming in this year to replace Aspire and that when the Dr Pepper Snapple Group contract ends next summer that Pepsi will become the beverage family of choice.

                    I know that a lot of people were upset when Coca-Cola left and was replaced by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group offerings (RC Cola, 7-Up). I wonder if a return to a better brand will satisfy them or if those fans are truly "Give me Coke or give me death" kinds of people. Personally I am quite happen with the prospect of Pepsi products.

                      Pepsi is better than coke so I am fine with this and I adjusted to the RC terrible diet cola by getting diet dr pepper. Also My kids will love the choice of mountain dew.

                        UW made a mistake and should stick with the big boys. I'm not surprised at all with the failure of Aspire. I have an extensive sales & marketing background in "soft drinks" and for ****s and grins, I applied to be a rep in the Madison area for sales and support since they were pretty much non-existent in area retailers. They basically told me...."we really don't need any support down there because of the endorsement of the U of W". I assured them that's not going to do it and made a presentation for them, concentrating on youth sports, etc. We did have discussions but I could tell these guys were in WAY over their heads and I eventually told them "buh, bye."

                          Nobody wants a rum and Pepsi. Trust me on this.

                          Would actually prefer RC to Pepsi.

                          Pepsi sucks.


                          Okay... carry on.

                              I'm a Pepsi guy (all products) but prefer Cherry Coke over Cherry Pepsi. Pepsi is definitely a much sweeter cola. Who can tell the difference with a cup full of ice before they put product in it?

                              A cola debate always blows up into epic proportions, even topping Trump v Clinton.

                                When you catch a cold, try Dr. Pepper HOT with some Bacardi Silver and a twist of lemon. You will feel better especially if you have 5 or 6.
