    Im just hoping that our freshman goalie can adjust to D1 college hockey quickly because no team in the WCHA is going to cut him any slack whatsoever.
    I can't tell if this post is sarcastic or not.

      The part about expecting nothing less than an NCAA championship is. The rest? Meh...not so much.

        Seeing a lot of talk online about Eaves leaving Wisconsin to become the head coach at New Jersey. Anyone hear anything?

          Seems far from a lock but it wouldn't surprise any Badger fans. At least it shouldn't.

              a.) Tentatively coming back.

              b.) Well, as I've stated before:

              I hope that Eaves stay for 10+ more years and is at least as successful as he has been thus far.
              But you've made it very clear how you feel about option #3. There are a few other former assistants to Eaves that would also be worth considering.

              Give how much success that UW has had hockeywise, it's surprising (at least to me) how few good head coaching prospects that exists among alumni.

                how long is Oz's tosu contract?

                gwozdecky is certainly an interesting idea, but I do recall him saying previously re: Wisconsin "they've had enough success there" or "they've had their time" or some such thing when asked about his interest level in the job

                ...another name Don Granato? but I don't know where he's been in the last 5-7 years or if he's even coaching anymore

                  It's not a question of how long is Oz's contract, it's how much is the buy-out option.

                  I wonder if the uncertainty of the fallout from the formation of the B1G conference might give Gwoz reason to pause for additional consideration should UW inquire.

                  For the record, this is all PURE speculation based the reported rumors of Eaves as a potential candidate for the Head Coaching position with the New Jersey Devils.

                    Not sure many schools can boast a better six-some of alumni coaches than Mark Osiecki, Don Granato, Mark Johnson, Tony Granato, George Gwozdecky, and Mike Eaves.

                      Eaves stats that there's been no contact with the Devils.

                          Not that I don't believe him, but if you know the Devils Organization, you know they run a very tight ship. And Lou never lets on what he is doing, and if what he is doing gets leaked to the public, he has pulled the plug before. Not saying he has or hasn't been contacted, but the way Lou operates, it wouldn't surprise me if they have spoken or had initial talks. Just take it as some knowledge of the Devils organization.

                            Didn't NJ go through this Eaves dance last time they needed a coach? Its almost as if Lou floats Eaves name out there to the press to get the coach he's really after to sign for less money.

                              Would Eaves have any reasons to lie about the Devil's contacting him?

                                No, but they could always be in contact his agent.
