    Re: Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

    I had DVR'd the Saturday night game and watched it last night. The crowd sounded great on TV, too.

    I didn't catch his name, but the Gopher play by play guy.....ooooof. I think it's Doug McLeod? I did some research and he's a seasoned veteran with hockey, but I don't think he's very good. It's not that he's a Gopher guy, because I liked The Rug and Wooger. I even thought LaPanta, who is now with the Wild, was better. Is he past his prime perhaps, like what happened to PB?

    Frank "The Rug" Maccazzo was at the WI Hockey Backers luncheon last Friday (I couldn't make it); I heard he was a hoot.

      SUCKS Bad. Shame on the B6 for ignoring a chance to show some men's hockey.

        Way to go boys! Listened on iHeart the whole way through. Great win, really impressive way to stay the course it the 2nd when things were starting to look bleak. Berry played very well, so nice to get the lead right away and take some control of the game.

        12th win on the year, equals previous two seasons combined. The resurgence continues...

          Badgers move from 25th to 20th in PWR with win over tOSU.

          If we keep winning and no one else plays (like tonight) were sure to make the Top 14!

            Solid win for Wisconsin tonight. 12-8-1, wow...Historically, that's nothing to get excited about, but given the massive decline in this team's performances under the last Eaves years? It seems miraculous to achieve the prior 2 year's win totals combined in the very next season with a new staff!

            I can't believe how quickly the forwards have adapted to the new style.
            Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

              Have you considered removing the "I'm not a hockey guy" line from your sig? After BA dumped all that money into the coaching staff, it's hard for me to hold that grudge anymore. Maybe BA lucked into the G2O deal a bit as I think TG kinda cornered BA with the high priced assistants he wanted and BA had to say yes, but BA was the reason it happened. Just curious anyway your thoughts on it.

                  I caught a bit of the game on iHeart last night as well. Really impressed by the heart shown by this team.

                  I'm going to be recording the game on Saturday night as I'll be out with friends, but the thought that the Badgers could be at the top of the Big 10 at this point in the season is just crazy considering how badly things had gone in the last few years.

                    Hey Tim cut them some slack! After all, they had Purdue and Nebraska women's basketball on the big screen! .

                    On my DirecTV guide, BTN has 3 or 4 alternate channels they use for football. Why couldn't they use one for men's hockey, or anything else for that matter. I don't want to hear about production bull****. The conference is rolling in dough.

                    Nice win last night. I had Posick on the radio and 2 or 3 different games on NHL Center Ice with sound muted. It sounded like play was consistent throughout the game and it was great to have a fast start, which has been a concern of G2O. Our goalies are really playing well.

                    I wish there was a stream for Saturday; I usually don't, but I'd pay just for a stream to see them at MSG. With the NHL on a short bye this weekend, this would be a perfect time to showcase this game. It would be really cool if the MSG Network carried it with Sam Rosen and Joe Micheletti doing the broadcast. They are the TV voices of the Rangers who I think are very good.

                    OOOOPS. A friend saw my post and told me it's on BTN Saturday! Sweet! I thought I read somewhere it wasn't televised. #ViewingParty

                      If I had known Purdue was playing Nebraska in WBB, I never would have made such a stupid comment. Oh the humanity! How about showing the game tape delayed or on an alternate channel. The b6 is so flush with money they could afford to produce the game and even had a few commercials.

                        Back to Besse serving the bench minor -- Baylee Wellhausen just served a too-many-players-on-the-ice penalty. That's another great example of choosing one of your best, most explosive players (not on the PK unit) to serve a penalty.

                          It's laziness on my part. I haven't looked at my signature in forever.

                          Of course BA deserves kudos for the hires!

                          Having said that, his statement about not being a hockey guy is not something I'll forget. It's an absolutely stupid remark for an athletic director to make in a public forum.

                            BOOM! Tough to give up 2 late an have to go to OT......I think it was the right call to count the goal. Yes, there was contact but Ustaski was driven into the goalie,who was not in the crease anymore anyways.

                            Lucky we didn't have to go the SO without Besse, gotta think he would have been used had he been healthy. Hope he is OK going forward. 19th in the PWR. Movin' on up!

                            BTW, how about the announcers referring to Frey as Jurusik MULTIPLE TIMES during the review of the GWG! Jeez....c'mon boys. Do your homework. Probably says what the B1G Network thinks of hockey programing.

                              Thats why I watch the game but listen to Brian Posick's excellent call of the game. Wow what a turnaround in half a year.
