Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

I think it's pretty crappy that Baggot chose to disclose further details on the Thurber situation a few days before the FF. He should have disclosed the details much nearer to the event, waited until after the FF, or not said anything at all.

Something to me just doesn't add up. Choking and a physical threat of tossing someone out a 6th story window only gets misdemeanors? In Madison? I wonder if Baggot made the incident sound more serious in the article than it really was.

It sounds to me like Eaves acted more appropriately than the Madion Fuzz did.

Alum update.....

Kluby is doing very well playing for a team in Stockholm in the Swedish Elite hockey league.

Another undersized Dman from UW that had success in Europe than NHL.....Rafalski.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

I talked to Kluby's dad a few weeks ago; Kyle's really enjoying it! Gotta love those Euro jerseys. They look like NASCAR with shoulder pads.

Well, in honor of this weekend, I did it this morning. After over 10 years with my "van dyke", (which is really a goatee with a 'stache), I shaved everything off below the corners of my mouth....Holy 1970's Batman and I've got a <strike>little</strike> double chin! I left before MrsMCR saw me, so I can't wait to see the expression!

She might like the smooth chin, eh? ;) :D :eek: ;) :D :eek:

After scaring myself in the mirror, it WILL be growing back immediately.

EDIT: While typing, I was listening to Brain Posick who had an interview with goalie Julian Baretta. He was a typical "quirky" 'tender. The discussion was mostly about the '76-'77 NC team....33 years ago, WOW! The power play that year was 39%. Baretta has had a very successful off-ice career, too.

Stockholm is a amazing city. Here is an interview about how his season has gone.

Julian Baretta was awesome. I'd like to see Goody skate backwards into the net the last two games.

Btw- Did he mention if he still has that cockatoo- Fred? Or why he had that nutty chick whacked???

I don't think we seriously considered him either.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

Who's in Milwaukee/Waukesha county this Thursday? Anyone know any bars where Badger fans will be meeting for the game?

EODS - I'm in milwaukee tomorrow with a 1/2 day off work to see the game:)

NONE of my co-workers had suggestions on where to go...unreal.

So I'm thinking just because the game is at 4, wherever UW fans go, we'll have the run of the place....

do you have suggestions? If you're group is seeking another fan I can meet you guys somewhere.

I work 2 blocks from WMSE downtown

That's my exact plan as well (although I have some "honey dos" to get out of the way first... looks like I'll be busy tonight getting them out of the way).

I just got an email from the Waukesha County chapter of WAA. Evidently, they're having something at Champps Americana in Brookfield. I have no idea how many people might be there, but it's a suggestion in a world where I have none.

Failing any other ideas, I was probably just going to head to one of the local establishments in teh Falls and enjoy it by myself (unless Mrs. EoDS wanted to stop in after she's done with work).

The Wisconsin men's hockey team (27-10-4) hopes to continue its quest for a seventh national title Thursday afternoon when the team battles RIT (28-11-1) at the Frozen Four in Detroit.

Wisconsin heads into the Frozen Four after a regional semifinal victory over Vermont and a regional final victory over St. Cloud State. Aside from the team's two victories, senior tri-captain Blake Geoffrion (Brentwood, Tenn.) was named the MVP of the West Regional.

The fourth-seeded RIT Tigers enter the matchup after upsetting top-seeded Denver in the regional semifinal and topping New Hampshire in the regional final. Only in its fifth season in the NCAA, RIT and Wisconsin have never met.

The winner of the semifinal game will battle the winner of the Boston College/Miami semifinal game in the national championship contest Saturday night.

For what it's worth, as a Michigan State fan, you're not really missing much. He's a gritty forward, but basically was a fourth-line guy all season. He'd never see the ice in Madison right now

UW does has plenty of grinders ridingthe pine already.

As Chuck pointed out, UW seemed to have little interest in him, maybe because either he's not that good or Eaves know he wouldn't come to UW so why waste his (Eaves) time on the kid.

Thanks for the info.

Countdwon to destiny is less than 20 hrs away!

LET'S GO RED!!!!!!
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Part 3: Just win, baby!

I get off work right at 4 and was planning on just DVRing and heading home to watch the game, but if people are meeting somewhere to watch, I'm up for it, too.
