Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

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

For some reason hearing UW got smoked 8-4 reminded me of a game I listened to when I was much younger...same score, Wisconsin got smoked. I can still hear Jack Swanson saying “score!” For the Tigers and if you recall this game you’ll recall it felt much closer to 16-4 than the actual score.

Unlike 95-96, the first year of a 25 year malaise, Wisconsin is not coming back at the end of the season.

Also, did I read that correctly, Caufield chirping like he did something when his TEAM got smoked?

Caufield has to go, that kid cares only about his own stats. He’s the most selfish player/prima donna i’ve Ever seen play for Wisconsin.

If there was a player with heart on this team like a McDonagh or Burish, Cole would have had his *** handed to him off ice way back in September. Be part of a TEAM or go to Montreal *****. That would have been the message.

Even worse, it wasn’t a goal that even brought the Badgers back to a tie, they were still down by 1 when he scored it. Honestly, I wish Granato would have sat him for the rest of the game after that stunt like he did Lebedeff a few minutes later. If a big part of the job is preparing these kids for the NHL, it would have been an important lesson for him to learn, and a better one to learn in the NCAA than in the bigs when his next shift would have seen him laid out. Instead, the camera then saw him yukking it up on the bench with Strobel. I hope Granato had words for both of them at the end of the game (or when he watches it back this morning.)

I would THOROUGHLY enjoy seeing Johan Blomqvist shut out Meatchicken the rest of the way. He has truly paid his dues.
Rich nails it on the head - give Blomqvist a shot - Lebedeff just isn’t good enough, I like Berry better (seems more consistent, although doesn’t have as mush potential for stealing a game) but he hasn’t cut it either. Maybe that’s the spark they need.

I saw this on Twitter:

Eaves' last 4 seasons: 58-69-22 .463 win percentage 2 NCAA appearances 384GF 440GA 4,324 SOG 4,646 SOGA 48.2 SOG%

Tony's first 4 seasons: 58-68-11 .464 win percentage 0 NCAA appearances 413GF 440GA 4,542 SOG 4,143 SOGA 52.3 SOG%


Eaves had two of the worst seasons in Badger hockey history during that span as a result of a complete failure to recruit properly after Osiecki left for OSU. Tony has all his prized possessions and they are headed towards their WORST season of the 4 he has been here.

1) Self made adversity in the D zone. 2) The play in the D zone did not respond to adversity well, it was the same broken record and kept happening. 3) They did respond to adversity in the O zone and yes they scored 4, which should win you 90% of the games. They need to protect the weakest link, not expose it. It doesn't matter. TG's coaching this year is the worst coaching effort in the history of ncaa hockey. 3 of us buffoons could have had this team with a winning record. It takes a special like of mismanagement to drag this much talent down the toilet. If this was an NHL team he'd be gone already with all the highly coveted free agents they signed and all the returning talented experienced players.

The last 2 years were BAD, but the guys played hard and smart, they just got out-talented. Many of these guys are uber talented with a whole lot of nothing between the ears. Yes I'm making broad brush generalizations, this is the depths of whatever I am in.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

I thought Max had the best game of his career by far last night. He was really good and it's really too bad it was wasted.

Again tonight he's been the bright spot early, and now he's given the boys a lift with a hustling pp goal. Be nice if the rest of the boys follow his lead and get going here in the 2nd.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

These announcers are almost as bad as... well... Wisconsin.

Down 4-1 with little hope left tonight. Penn State in next week, likely 2 more losses. One would think there’d be hope against Arizona State, but at this point they’ve passed us, so a win that weekend might be tough. Then at Ohio State. They’ve been struggling a bit. Can anyone find a win here?

Regardless of the Badgers’ woes, you also have to give credit to the Big 10 for managing to create a pool of refs worse than the WCHA had. Who would have thought that’d be possible. I never imagined I’d miss the Shepherds.

Maybe if they end the year on an 11 game losing streak they will clear out the entire staff.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

The thing that ****es me off is that newer programs like Penn State and Arizona State have clearly surpassed what was an historically dominant program at Wisconsin.

On the flip side, new quality programs, and the growth in quality in other existing programs has created expanded competition and parity for teams like Wisconsin. Not saying what we’ve seen this season is good. Just saying that it’s hard to compare the current landscape of college hockey to the competition during the glory years of Wisconsin greatness. Not an excuse. Just an observation.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-20 Part II: Civil War

The one thing you can’t blame the staff on is they built this season’s approach and roster on being able to outscore the other teams based on the scouting for the incoming freshmen and the shooters from last year, and that under-performance has been a big letdown to me. Sure, C. Caufield leads the team in goals, but even his total isn’t where I expected it would be, seeing that this was only Weissbach’s fourth goal is disappointing, and Dhooghe’s fall off in scoring has been surprising, too. Sure, adjustments should have been made in approach along the way, but from the beginning the coaches said they expected other teams to score against UW, but we’d score more. Unfortunately the hot shots haven’t been so hot.
