    Wisconsin Hockey 25-26 Hastings Year 3 - Turning the Corner?

    I agree on talent. They need more pure goal scorers. Losing Stramel is on the coaching staff. Nightingale isn’t a soft coach to play for so I wish I knew WHY Hastings and staff practically pushed Stramel out??? Whitelaw didn’t belong at UW. Dude has jumped more schools than Star Wars shows...

    Wisconsin Hockey 25-26 Hastings Year 3 - Turning the Corner?

    Agree on all points. It’s astounding to me that Michigan, MSU and Ped State are all miles above UW right now. Miles. With Wisconsin’s resources that should not be the case. Down years here and there, sure. But not what we’ve seen over 50% of the time since 1996. 3 years into the Hastings era I...

    Is 91 injured? I really don’t like splitting up Montgomery and Zelenov, they have great chemistry on the ice. Brink and Botterill are fantastic pedal to the floor all-game players.

    Absolutely atrocious goaltending. Bad D but even worse goaltending. If they lose tonight it will end their NCAA hopes. tOSU will kick their asses next week. They crushed the rats last night.

    And here we go again with the soft goals. Castro cannot be worse, start him next series.

    Wisconsin Hockey 25-26 Hastings Year 3 - Turning the Corner?

    Man…I already hated the update to the sieve chant of “it’s all your fault” which was essentially stolen from either MSU or Mich cheer…but adding an FU is both dumb and not creative. What the hell was wrong with the tried and true sieve chant? NOTHING! Ugh. I watched the highlights this...

    How did the goalie look? I did5 get to watch. Saw the score was 4-2 at one point and thought it was in the bag then saw ND scored a bunch on the 3rd to tie it. I mean…are the goalies atrocious? Is it the defense or is it the goalie coach? I noticed several very soft goals earlier this season...

    Tough news for Ped State. But you have to be smarter than to punch another college kid no matter what they’re saying to you.

    I have 0 expectation of a sweep. Whatever the problem is with this team it began when Schulz went down with one caveat….you could see through 15-3-2 flashes where the goaltending was not frozen four material…. In a typical season one guy going down shouldn’t result in a team going off the...

    Wow! 40-60 concerts per year is awesome!! I go to maybe 10-20 per year mostly in smaller venues…I go to a lot of local band shows. I did see Living Colour 2 years ago at summerfest and they ripped like they were still in their 20’s!!

    Movies: Poor Things, Barbie and Oppenheimer are stuck in La La Land

    Saw “One Battle After Another” finally. Loved it! But the caveat is I knew it would be more RATM than John Lennon or Bob Marley so my expectations were a bit lowered. At least it’s somewhat thought provoking to the couch potatoes. Now I need to see Bugonia.

    USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

    …dropped a pretty penny for Rush tickets. This will be a huge nostalgia trip for Me as I’ve seen them roughly a dozen times…while they’re not a go-to band for me as a 50-something, I am really curious to see what Anika Nilles can do for them. She has a swing to her playing which I think May...

    Man…I’ve thought of that too. Those of us who grew up watching as middle schoolers, HS kids or college-age kids: Granato’s, Tuttle, Ranheim, CUJO, Zent, Fairchild, Shuchuck, Tancill, Schier, Carey, et al. The experience of watching UW hockey in those eras was second to none. But we’re adults...

    Just curious: Which injury specifically has led to Wisconsin looking like they don’t even belong on the ice with Michigan State, Ped State, Minnesota the last 3 weeks. With 05-06? Yes, Elliott was basically the QB. With him they were unstoppable. Without him they were beatable.

    I fear Hastings is holding back progress from many players. I’d love to hear from Mankato fans about what they think the problem is. I believe the higher caliber players just don’t fit his system (scorers are hamstrung) …and that may fly in Mankato and get you in the tourney but it very...

    The 05-06 team lost those games mostly because Brian Elliott was out. He was the last great UW goalie. I think one or two others may have been injured but losing Elliott was a big part of it. With him in net the team played like they were invincible.

    Welp….i guess it’s time to bust out some thinner. Two consecutive weekends where Wisconsin wasn’t just swept but completely throttled. 2 NCAA appearances in 12 years. The legacy has been dismantled thoroughly.

    I’m being generous. Michigan and Ped state will destroy Bucky. TOSU will likely sweep and then ND? I don’t know? Split? Did Hastings have second half swoons at Mankato? Did he underestimate the b10 challenges? Are he and his entire staff overrated? Today was a good comparison with regard to...

    Thanks. Ugh. Just when you think it can’t get any worse. 15-9-2 with 8 games left. It’s very possible they go 2-6 the rest of the way.
