    Scotty Bowman. He likes to trap and he and Red could have wheelchair races between periods.


    Or a different triumvirate of former Badgers: Chris Chelios, Mike Richter, and it is looking like perhaps Dany Heatley will be looking for a job soon. Should cover all the positions on the ice nicely.

      Howie is a table away at this coffee shop.

      Should I ask for his thoughts?

            If their is one guy who will give you a non-sugar coated view of what it's like in an Eaves locker room it be Howie.

            Of course, I have to suspect that he may not have nice-and-fuzzy feelings towards Eaves.

              Unlike Gurt.

              Ha! They could be best friends!

              I gotta believe Howie has an interesting opinion on all things Badger hockey. Gurt, you are missing a great opportunity, you coward!

                I dealt with Howie over the years both in youth hockey (with my son) and at the bank I worked for about 12 years ago.

                He was always nice, but there was something intimidating about him under the surface. An underlying smolder.


                I have no doubt that he has some pretty frank thoughts about the state of the program. Someone else will have to pry those thoughts from him.

                  I really enjoyed Ian Perrin's commentary last weekend, he sounds like he is Howie's brother. Ian called a club a club, but he also made some comments that seemed to indicate he bought into Eaves' youth argument. I bet Howie doesn't follow UW that closely anymore to give an informed opinion.

                    I don't think any of us believe that he'd have insight - he's been away from the program for years now.

                    I just think his rant might be entertaining...


                    Always liked listening to his tell-it-as-he-sees-it style on the radio and I agree sometimes IP sounds a lot like Howie.

                      Does George Fabian still run the Park Street Shoe Repair shop? If so, someone should go down there and ask him. Not about Eaves mind you, I doubt he gives too much of a **** at this point, but just to ask him about Badger hockey in general. In addition to sharpening skates he used to man the penalty box gate at the Coliseum and I'm sure he's got some good stories to tell.

                      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."

                          The issues are still there, the history is still there, the hole they dug is still there.

                            I was just kidding. I'm well aware of the issues.

                              They way the game ended just sums up how things are going. They get the easiest goal ever when bu goalie has a brain fart, but still manage not to win. Then in the meaningless shoot out, rumpel makes the save but goes to show off the glove and the puck goes over his shoulder, behind him, and in.

                              To be fair they played their best game of the year up to the last 2 minutes. Why weren't they playing this hard earlier in the year? Best thing I have heard a coach say to his kids: it takes zero skill to play hard and put forth a 110% effort every time.
