Seeing reports that Miller has officially signed.
A shame that we canāt afford to lose more of our starting 6. Thereās a lot of āaddition by subtractionā to go around our blue line, and itās unfair to just single him out.

This virus schitt is really annoying, isn't it?
I feel horrible for ALL seniors of all college and high school sports; especially if they were in contention. I was listening to a Mark Johnson interview talking about how he told the team. It was heart-breaking.
There's definitely something missing when the girl's & boy's high school tourneys aren't on TV.
I can't imagine the economic impact all of amateur and professional sports have on local communities, not to mention the employees of the venues in which they play. Then there's the betting on the NCAA basketball tourney. This total impact has to be in the billions of dollars.
I'm sitting here doing other things than watching NHL or NCAA hockey on a Friday night, which is weird. About an hour ago, I had to face reality. I canceled my room in Winnipeg for the 25th thru' 29th for a March 27 Avalanche @ Jets game with MCR Jr. It's disappointing, but we'll do it another time. We're both healthy (albeit me carrying around a little extra weight) and that's what it's all about. we are in no way feeling sorry for ourselves; a minor set-back!
Stay well and healthy, boys!

The ones that I can think of that are not a detriment every single shift: Emberson, Vorlicky, Inamoto, Ess. Probably no chance Captain Kalynuk leaves. We just need more defensive dmen who can make a breakout pass. They donāt need to be Quinn Hughes/Cale Makar.

Nah, this is being generous in assessment:
If someone were to ask me my thoughts on Miller as a player Iād rip his game apart.

Re: Wisconsin 2020 Off-season thread - Serenity Now!
Iāll be honest: I find it weird that Miller is singled out so much.
Iāll agree he has the highest pedigree, and therefore the absolute worst expectation-to-performance ratio, but of his teammates <maybe> Emberson and Vorlicky werenāt in the same ballpark when it came to being liabilities on defense?

I think a combo of draft status and his galling passes directly to the opposition, several in front of his net that really stand out.
I didnāt notice 21 or 7 as much. Usually thatās a good thing for a d-man.
Kalynuk was up there with Miller on dumb passes.

Re: Wisconsin 2020 Off-season thread - Serenity Now!
It's the ratio. And it seemed like he was hyped by Posick and others even when it was obvious that he was more of a liability than an asset.
Vorlicky was right out of HS, he gets a pass on the criticism. I thought Inamoto was right there on the negative side of the ledger too.

If you check during the beginning of the season, I was definitely "crabby" with Kalynuk. He looked like a deer in headlights, but I also thought he got better as the season went on.
Draft status aside, I think he regressed the most out of everyone that returned this year. Is that due to injury? Maybe, maybe not. But I expected more from a guy that looked fantastic as a freshman.

My personal opinion is that Inamoto progressed over the last two years. I thought he cut down on the boneheaded penalties and was decent defensively.

Caufield coming back. Hopefully he tries in the defensive end next year.

Hopefully a lot of players try in the defensive end.

Iām cool with having fun and winning 20+ games by any means necessary. Even if it means running the 1-1-3.

Re: Wisconsin 2020 Off-season thread - Serenity Now!
I agree, but TG said they weren't looking to make any big changes to systems, so all we can hope for is the players play better in the system they have now.

I did see that and I believe no changes to the staff either? If so, it makes me seriously question if he wants to keep his job...

The funny thing is, Sauer ran a run nā gun style of hockey. The 90 team played it the 92 team etc. Osiecki, Granato And Strobel ALL played that style at UW...but at no point during those years did they have players consistently passing the puck directly to the opposition or consistently missing assignments.
There must be something wrong with the coaching or the kids arenāt listening.

Jason King said they are perfectly happy with TG as the head coach. Of course they would never openly say he's in trouble no matter how bad things are. If they came out and said it's the ncaa's or he's fired next year, that would put too much pressure on the lads, which would only make things worse.
