Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostHonestly, I don't think Eaves is terrible. He's just boring. His style requires a solid defense and an exceptional goalie. Wisky has done a poor job of recruiting those key pieces. As you can see with Minnesota, a bad recruiting class or two can lead to a long and painful drought. Even though I think Lucia is in a higher tier of coaches than Eaves, I think Eaves is still capable.
The thing that jumps out from Eaves first class at UW is that he had zero recruiting misses, starting with the 05 class it seems that he has been missing on about 1/3 of all the forwards. That is a recipe for a dismal offensive team.

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."

Originally posted by Almington View PostI don't think Eaves has figured out how to most effectively recruit at the college level. I think this is at the core of all the issues that UW has had over Eaves tenure. He brings in each player with a specific role in mind. Which is fine in the pros where you can cut/demote/trade players who don't work out. In college you are stuck with players who don't work out for up to 4 years and you can't just go out and add new players at anytime. Eaves has been unable to build up the critical mass of forward talent given 1.) early departures, 2.) recruiting misses, and 3.) scholarship/roster size limitations.

Re: Fire Mike Eaves?
Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostI have to say, the parallels between how the fans describe Eaves today and Lucia during the last few years is astonishing.
I may be wrong in that, but that was what it looked like after more information came out. Some say Eaves has his own disconnect problem, but that is a different thing, I think.
Whatever the reasons, it's really difficult to watch any top tier team struggle over a period of years. We all joke around with our own little schadenfreude when a rival struggles, but the game is not nearly as fun when rivals are off their game.

Re: Fire Mike Eaves?
What I don't understand is why Wisconsin runs the system they run considering the rink they play in. With a large sheet of ice, you would think you would want to capitalize on that, not let it work against you. There is good reason why Wisconsin's road record is much better than their home record. You have to not only question Eaves for this, but also the people who hired him knowing he'd run this system.@MNState0fHockey on Twitter
