      Yep. 53rd in shots allowed. With all these top end guys who have the speed and goods to play at the next level, that is a damming stat.

      Thanks.

      • I was taking a gander at inter-conference records and pairwise and thought your conference stands a chance to actually send a number of teams in March, but this sums it up perfectly. Maybe the pairwise calculation is spot-on after all.
        What’s funny is, the NCHC and B1G hold the two best OOC records, yet look too only send 2-3 teams each.

        Against the top 10, the badgers are also 3-2; the rest of the big ten is 0-10-1."


        That screams that the coaches can't get these guys motivated to play against everyone, just the top dogs.

          Yeah, so now a big motivator is to beat ASU to help out the rest of the B7. I don't care about the other B7 schools or how many make the NCAA's. I sure as hell don't want to help the rodents get in or any of them. What kind of screwed up world do we live in?

            Im the first to admit I dont know Jack Squat about basketball. When most of my friends were shooting baskets or hunting, I was playing hockey. That said...

            I watched the 2nd half of tonight's Badger BB game against Purdue. Can't recall the last time I watched 5 minutes. Granato should take his team to a BB game. I know there's been criticism of Gard and some players, but tonight these guys were diving on the floor after balls, busting ***, moving guys out and getting offensive rebounds and so on. It's called HEART. No names, not entitled boys, working hard. Tony and the boys could learn a lesson watching these guys.

            Opened my eyes even more about the hockey team. This program is a FAR cry from when it was the #1 revenue producer on campus.

                  THIS! Of all of the glaring issues with this team this is the biggest one. They have no heart. No desire. No will. And coaching can’t Fix that.

                    Pre 1990 football was WAY under capacity and the Camp wasn't nearly as large. Basketball was getting 4 to 5000. Badger hockey had a waiting list for season tix at the 9000 seat Coliseum. We always heard hockey was #1, I'll do some research.

                        I've heard Russo up in MinneaParis....he's pretty good, but is HE speculating because of his relationship or is there actual "talk" up there? Interesting.

                          Fire Granato. 4 years at the UW and can't make the playoffs is one thing. Last place and being the ***** of the conference is another.

                          Fire everybody

                            Tony Granato

                            Résumé: Current University of Wisconsin coach; former Penguins and Red Wings assistant

                            NHL head coaching record: 104-78-17-16 (9-9 postseason record)

                            Granato also checks the box of having a relationship with Shero after serving as a Penguins assistant under Bylsma for five seasons. He was also briefly head coach of the Colorado Avalanche in 2002-03 and 2003-04, then again in 2008-09, but he hasn’t had another NHL head coaching gig. Instead, he moved to the college ranks, where he’s built a strong program at Wisconsin. Given his success there, plus his experience in the NHL, Granato is a name to watch if the Devils find a full-time coach in the offseason.

                              LOL, I never even considered TG's ticket out of town might be an NHL coaching job. LOL How can any NHL GM look past how bad this team plays and say he'll do any better in the NHL? If he did leave for another gig one would think BA would just have Oz take over since he is a former D1 head coach and an associate head coach right now. Fascinating.

                                Thanks for posting that old article. The Minnesota series that year was just embarrassing. Never thought after Eaves was let go and we hired the dream team, that we would be where we are today (4 years later). It boggles my mind.

                                IMO they need a young up and coming coach who has won at USHL or D3 and knows how to improve kids and deal with kids in this day and time. Someone outside of UW......But in reality, it doesn't matter what I want as Tony will almost certainly be back.

                                My hope is these selfish draft picks move on and they start playing for the team instead of for themselves.
