Re: Wisconsin Hockey T*M2=NCA2*7
Originally posted by digitalbooya View PostBeing a current student at UWSP I could definitely see how people would think Madison is huge. For myself, growing up in Mount Horeb, 20 minutes or so from Madison, and spending my last two years of high school on the outskirts of Indianapolis, big cities don’t really bother me anymore. Around Stevens Point the biggest city is Wausau at almost 40,000 people. That’s less than the student population of UW-Madison.
I get that, but he's not coming from Coloma and looking at Milwaukee.
Point is at least a decent sized small city.

Actually played against both, but this is the only shot I have of one of them (Brock) and my son in the same frame...
I knew they were D-1 but it was OSU at the time (only Brock was on this team, both the following season) and I never really made it much of a point to shoot guys on the opponents as I was shooting my kid and his teammates.
That said, more and more opponents will be D-1 in the next few years and I wonder how many of them I have.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey T*M2=NCA2*7
They were speculating on Sirius XM NHL radio this AM that Quenneville might get fired this spring if the Hawks don't do a lot in the playoffs/make the playoffs. It would be sad to see DG lose his gig after 1 season, but I think he'll land on his feet in the NHL somewhere. MCR vouches for MS's passion and commitment, but I still think we're missing DG a lot this year.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Re: Wisconsin Hockey T*M2=NCA2*7
For those already wanting to look ahead to next season, here is what I have been able to track down about scheduling.
For the 2018-2019 season:
We have 1 committed home series with Boston College
We have 2 committed away series with North Dakota and Clarkson/St Lawrence
We will also give up 1 home game to "host" the return trip to Chicago vs Notre Dame
That gives us 6 non-conference games so far. With the expanded league schedule, we only have space for 10.
I would guess that we will see another "1 for none" visitor from the AHA or WCHA. Maybe we'll see another visit from ASU.
Maybe we'll get into another 4 year/2 team rotation with Denver/CC or a pair of teams out east. I'd love to see some new names show up on the schedule. How about an Army/Princeton combo, or maybe Brown/Providence, or how about something closer to home with MTU/NMU
Looking out to future years:
In 2019-2020
We get Clarkson at home to close out the 4 year rotation with Clarkson/St Lawrence
We go to UNO to repay their visit from 16-17
We go out east for 1 each at Merrimack and Boston College to wrap up that 4 year rotation
We also had a 1 for 1 with Michigan Tech that was supposed to be 17-18 / 18-19 that got pushed out indefinitely.

Add on to this comment, coach Q will not be the coach next season for the Hawks. It is just a matter of when they fire him.Last edited by bucky15; 02-13-2018, 03:09 PM.

Originally posted by MadCityRich View PostGood chance on both counts; but pretty tough to imagine they'd whack Q after everything he's done. He can only do with what he's got and I think they've been in cap trouble for a couple years. Then to bring back Saad and Sharp? I don't think those were Q's moves, but in the words of Tony Soprano;

Sharp is no longer an NHL player. It's painful too watch.
Tim, the hiring of DG was a weird deal in relation to coach Q. I believe they completely went around him, which is one of the reasons I think DG will be the next head coach for the Hawks.

It might be a factor of needing a new voice.
Q's message might just be tuned out by now.
I'm good either way. The Hawks are at a crossroads.
And yeah... they keep bringing in the retreads (Sharpe, Campbell, Oduya, Ladd...) and they haven't worked out.
I sure as hell wouldn't have let Panarin go either. You don't move scoring talent like that for an overpriced "power" forward.Last edited by Gurtholfin; 02-13-2018, 07:55 PM.
