I know you guys hate talking about it, and Ive gotten some push back but I did a dive on the 83/84 through 86/87 teams. I can expound, but I think the next few weeka are more important. Lets just say crap starts and getting their rear ends handed to them by Minnesota or UMD. One of those years they went 0-8 against UMD....woof woof lol

I dont trust a word they say that has meaningful substance to it. Polzin was the biggest offender there too, rah rah-ing for Leonard and saying UW was hiring him.

I won't assume they don't care about hockey. They did restructure TG's contract to make it less costly to fire him. They probably made him fire MS, TG is too loyal to do that on this own. To me that says a lot. And King has told people who email him to hang in there, and I'm taking that as a change is on the way. We are under 2 weeks to the end of the season.

Portrykus was really bad too! You're right. Hopefully they both glt a stern talking to on getting a major story so flipping wrong!
And I think it is getting really hard to ignore Rohlik. He has outperformed UW and what he has available at OSU. Plus he has the Eaves assts. He at least deserves an honest interview based on his track record.

A little analysis is in order:
Rohlik's record is .559 at OSU (42 games over .500, 3 losing seasons with 2 of his first 3 years, but only 1 over the last 7 years). He will have 5 NCAA tourneys in 10 years assuming they don't collapse and get in this year.
Eaves was 42 games over .500 in 14 years and finished with a .538 win %. 5 seasons below .500, and 7 NCAA tourneys in 14 years.
Jeff Sauer was .609 win% and 183 games over .500 in 20 years.
So seems like Rohlik could do better than Eaves at Wisconsin. He plays a more physical style that I like and he has gotten good recruits to a non-hockey tradition school.

If you want yet another clue as to how clueless TG is regarding how goals are scored against UW.
https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ne...le,-Stupid.php
"I wasn't happy with what happened in my sophomore season," Rowe said. "Not winning games makes life a lot harder. At the end of the season, there was a point in time when I sat down with [Wisconsin coach Tony Granato]. He told me they were bringing in another goalie, and I was going to be moved down to the third position and wasn't going to get a chance in net my junior season.
"I didn't like that. I didn't agree with that."
Rowe entered the transfer portal.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
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."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

Does anyone seriously believe Rowe was the problem last year? We could’ve had CuJo in his prime backing up Elliott in his prime last year and they aren’t going to stop all those HDSC that our defense gives up.

I mean… honestly…
You don’t need to know a lot about the tactics of hockey to understand how hung out to dry our goalies are when you watch a Badger game from the last seven seasons.
How on earth is it missing TG?
Because unless he wants goalies to be directing the defense in front of them (which… since when do teams do that), I’m not sure what we normal people are missing.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

With that being said, McClellan went from a .932 sv% on Mercyhurst to .870 sv % on Wisconsin. So it’s pretty clear defense and turnovers leading to odd man rushes continue to be a problem.
