Wisconsin Hockey 22-23 Empty Dreams & Empty Seats

[GoBucky18]

All I can say is that I saw Mac after the game in the concourse....and he looked like he had business to conduct. My guess is the cleanout/season wrap is tomorrow with the team and the meeting with TG and staff is on Monday to let them go.

Wisconsin is in search of an identity, a soul. They need a coach dedicated to finding and developing that. Committed to team excellence....not individual talent.

Does he mean that the team underachieved?

It’s the only constant from the last 20 years.

[GoBucky18]

If he is saying they underachieved, then yes...absolutely.

Hastings is off the table with his current contract. No way he leaves. No Canadian Major Junior coach is going to coach NCAA hockey. Too many things to worry about woth academics and recruiting violations.

Osieski is delusional. He says they are better than their record. No, your record is who you are after a full season. Now, it's that they don't have a Cole Caufield. No more. Tony and Mark, thanks for everything over the years, always a Badger. Please no Rohlik. Go find a non-badger. We've done alumni the last two times with limited success. Badger alumni are not the only people who know how to coach college hockey.

No way Ceulemans and Stramel are ready to go pro. No way at all.

Both these draft picks look like lazy bums in the biggest games of the year.

So, my BTN+ renews on the 16th. Should I unsubscribe now or keep it to watch softball?

[solovsfett]

Why Jason King hasn’t been fired is beyond me. I think it’s because the AD has no clue how to handle the hockey teams.

I wish all the best to Tony Granato. He will always be my favorite Badger hockey player and is a class guy but he just was unable to turn the corner as coach.

all the best to Osiecki and Brandt as well.

Maybe McIntosh shocks us and has a coach from Canadian juniors lined up.

And there's the lack of poise meltdown.....it's ovah.

[GoBucky18]

No way Ceulemans and Stramel are ready to go pro. No way at all.

[digitalbooya]

I hope Ceulemans doesn't come back.

De St Phalle on a mission. 5 goals in 2 games.

Great to see for sure.

So the portal opens after the ncaa field is set and it's a sixty day window. If they pull the trigger they're gonna have to hire somebody pretty quick. Knowing it would have made sense to do the canning sooner. Of course the Wisconsin players can transfer any time with the coaching change.

FWIW as a Michigan fan I agree. The play by play guy is a nothing but the color guy is nails on a chalk board. I can't believe tge B10 can't do better.

It's sad Michigan can't afford to put the stripes all the way around their jerseys.
