Michigan Wolverines 2015-2016 Season

Re: Michigan Wolverines 2015-2016 Season

I think Red deserves to be somewhere on the list. But he doesn't deserve the Penrose. A decent coaching job but not without problems. He should have won the league. And I don't think he faced many top ten teams and I don't think his record was that great against the ones he did face.

Apparently all nominees are automatically nominated if they are the conference top coach or make it to the frozen four.

Given the choices in the B1G, it's not as if there were many alternatives... ;)

Red certainly deserves a great deal of respect for what he's done for the game. What was his last game at Yost like? Did they play it up as his last?

Not all. There were rumors about alumni coming back in droves, but I didn't notice any. Red let the fans appreciate the seniors.

It's reported Red will announce today he's retiring!

Sunday would make more sense. He could announce it officially to the Dekers, his biggest supporters.

(which is why it's not all that great of a April Fools joke)

Well I had to try for April Fools since everyone in Columbus believes Michigan fans are suckers for a joke.
After all, your school DID hire Rich Rodriguez for your football coach and then paid millions to bail him out of his breach of contract with WV and need I go on how it all worked out?
But hey, we've been pranked pretty good too, we hired Gene Smith to be our AD!

I like it that Red's returning. As I've said before he's one of the most respected figures in college hockey and I'll stand up for him if any other Buckeyes act disrespectful towards him!
 
Re: Michigan Wolverines 2015-2016 Season

It's still in the rumor stage but apparently Kyle Connor is coming back because Winnipeg won't play him on the big club next year. Nothing is known about Compher or Motte yet though.

I'm never, ever going to ask a player that. Even though we could have yesterday.

Still, some of the implications that would have lead Red coming back suggest that Motte and Compher were key parts of that return. IF that is true, it would be pretty huge.

(and FWIW, Kyle Conner is a nice kid. Look forward to talking with him some more Friday evening)

(p.s.s. being a member of the Dekers is pretty nice. Lets you meet some really good kids if you want to. I'm a BIG fan of Sam Piazza- but mostly because of his degree and GPA)
