Wisconsin Hockey XXXIV: A Season without Chuck

Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXXIV: A Season without Chuck

That is hardly a fair comparison. But if we use your hypothetical and you consider it is within a time frame of a month and it goes on discount the seller generally credits you the difference (ie the $1,000 TV goes to $750 the next week or two, best buy will credit the $250 to you within a certain period of time).

True, but if you fill up your gas tank at $2.25 and then a day later the cost drops to $2.00 you aren't going to see a refund from the gas station.

As a season ticket holder, I made my decision to renew as advertised. Right now, I don't care how cheap they sell tickets. Try to fill up the dang building. It adds to my game day experience.

That's what I think. As a weird man once said:

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.”

How about a system that doesn't result in 3000 fans in the aeats for the home opener?

Agree. If the coach had an overall effective system that was successful, we would not have attendance woes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Badger Fans!

I'm thankful for all the great moments and memories and friends Badger Hockey has brought me over the years. Here's to hoping for a brighter future in which all we have to argue about is the great players on the bench that aren't getting enough minutes and which bar we should all meet up at for drinks at the FF.

Best to all of you and your families on this long holiday weekend. Go Red!

Five minutes after this picture was taken, Vancouver Canucks prospect Joe Labate scored his first career professional goal.

So is UW going to play some games or what? These bye weeks suck. I see 2-2 over the next 4 games. I find it refreshing to be able to ponder how many games they could win vs just hoping that they can score a goal and not embarrass themselves defensively while losing.

I think your optimistic, but I am the negative nancy of this thread apparently...

At best 1-2-1, more likely 0-3-1.

I kind of like the early bye weeks this year. This gives a chance for the young players to get fully invested in the systems, gives the old players a chance to get fully comfortable with the young players, and gives the coaches a chance to get their new systems fully in place.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey XXXIV: A Season without Chuck

question: is anyone keeping tabs on Wisconsin and Minnesota's records vs. their old conference foes since the advent of the hockey conference modeled loosely on the football conference?

For the player development it's good, for the fan's it's bad, I want to see some hockey. I like momentum in a season and the bye's kill it.

So what would you want the schedule to be? Big front, long break, big end? Quiet beginning, average middle, big end?

With the BI6 this is how it is going to be every year. All of the other conferences are done with their nonconference schedule for the most part. We front-load the noncon games when other teams are available, take a little break, squeeze a few in before the break, and then go crazy with conference games after the break.
