Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

Anyone know who in the athletic department oversees hockey? Is there a specific guy or is it just Alvarez?

Jason W King is the assistant AD in charge of hockey. He will respond to emails.

"I liked the way we played" "We did alot alot alot of good things" "We had control of the game" "Things haven't gone our way" "We're in a good place right now"

TG thinks allowing 41 and 38 sog, allowing a 50% PP conversion rate and losing more faceoff than they win = "did a lot a lot of good things" and "control the game" and "we're in a good place right now", then he is a clueless buffoon. UW hockey fans are pretty smart, he's selling a pile of crap and calling it predigested all natural edibles. I'm totally done with him. Blow it up, start over. If someone can make Mankato the apple of the eye, someone can make UW the center of the universe. It's really sad it didn't work out, but changes must be made. It's not personal Tony, it's strictly business.

Odds that he puts up Mike Richter finalist numbers for the school he transfers to after Granato cuts him?

100% gonna happen if he gets cut. I don't see him being cut though, Rowe and this Garrity fellow can't be it. They'd need to bring in Grannan too. I do like the idea of possibly staggering Rowe and Grannan if it's possible. A new staff will make all the difference.

And what is up with the home vs away splits???? 7-7 at home and 3-10-1 on the road, yes 3-10-1! The lads are not doing something right on the road off the ice. That is ridiculous. That's crazy. How can you explain that?

Inexperience... is actually a valid reason for lack of success on the road.

Ok yes. But they are 28 games into the season and after starting the year 4-2 they are 6-15-1 since. Since the break they are 3-7, and have lost 5 in a row.

With experience, wins should follow don't you think? Improvement should be evident with more experience. They aren't winning more, and I have seen very little improvement, especially on the defensive side.

Ok Tony. The USDP guys play on the road all season, that should not affect them. Holloway played 53 games last year, so 26 or so on the road. They also have a more demanding schedule in game per week with lots of travel. I don't buy it for these guys. The right out of HS guys like Vorlicky I can agree on being affected.

Disagree. It's not like there are intimidating venues in the BiG 7..there aren't any.

PSU fills their place at least and then a drop and Michigan seems to be a pretty clear second place. Then a big drop before everyone else at the moment.

Listen guys, next time I’m leading practice I’ll be sure to run everything that was said to the players and the coaches.

Maybe there won't be a next time. :0 I do feel bad for you since you just built that new home and JK Security Solutions did such on nice job on it. The market is booming, I think you will come out ok when all is said and done. It's not personal Tony, it's just business.

It's a great day for hockey!

Nobody has mentioned the absolutely stupid gimmick for tonight's game? Are you ****ing kidding me? Wear your ****ing pajamas to the game? This is so "Federal League-ish". If I hadn't already dumped my tickets, I would've for this gimmick.
WINNING PROGRAMS DO NOT NEED MIDDLE SCHOOL GIMMICKS.

Maybe UW might decide to play some hockey tonight to complement the camera shots into the stands to look at people in pj's.

TG did a video a few weeks ago that said: "Come out and see the 3 legged race between periods". LOL.

No game on tv tonight, that sucks.
