Final

I've got the 92 title game on dvd, and of course watched it live at the time.

the dramatic meltdown by UW players on the ice and then after the game going after officials in the hallways demonstrated a complete break-down and lack of class by the guys doing it and the coaching staff no longer had control of the team. add to that the fact Grant Standbrook was no longer @ UW to help recruiting. Opposing coaches used the meltdown against UW and it worked.

Sauer still knew how and where to find the talent, guys like Brian Holzinger, Matt Pettinger and many more just started to choose other schools (Cullen and Parish went to St.Cloud, in years past they'd end up in Madison)...
Sauer never regained that recruiting touch and Eaves is going right down the same exact path at this point

Eaves still has a strangle hold of control over the team and program And will until the wrench it from his cold dead hands. Can't recruit a natural leader or a secondary scorer to save his job, and that's his real problem.

I, too, was there. Don't know if it was a melt down, or a theft of a game, but things sure went bad in the 3rd. Any way you can get me a copy of the game? Interesting that 20 years ago one could still buy tickets at the week of the finals if not the weekend itself.

send me a private message with your mailing address, I have the 1992 title game, as well as 2006 semi-final vs. maine and 2006 final vs. bc.

I had 1990 but I think it was lost when I moved back from Chicago

and yes, no question the refs made some very questionable calls in that game, the most eggregious being the 10minute misconduct on Doug McDonald.

however, that said UW had numerous chances to put LSSU down by more than 2-0 in the 1st and also late in the game Andrew Schier and 1-2 others had opportunities to tie the game and didn't.

it was their reaction on-ice in the 3rd that led to Tom Mees berating them and then apparently in the hallways of the arena several players confronted the refs and that was used against UW in recruiting for several years

no problem. give me about a week and I'll get the 3 games in the mail to you. or if you want to wait a few days beyond that I can include the 90 championship game as well (I just found I have that on VHS and need to digitize). I'm tech-challenged so I need to give this stuff to a friend to replicate. but it shouldn't be much more than a week, if that.
