    True. Although this wasn't one of the typical 'dominate play and still manage to give up a bunch of softies' loss that we've seen before. They just got whipped all over the ice. That's kind of new.


    Whether it's Donny or not, it definitely seems as though the staff is not really connecting with the players. Eaves was often criticized for exercising too much control and then losing. Tony certainly seems way more laissez faire but is still losing. Difficult to figure.

    Tony does love scrambling the lines though --> Now for something completely different:

    Ustaski Frederic Wagner

    Ford Hughes S.Dhooghe

    Hurley Malone Johnson

    Weissbach Baker J.Dhooghe

    Tischke Ess

    Kalynuk Linhart

    Greenway Inamoto

    Hayton

      Playing better tonight (easy to do after last night) but still down and another shorty allowed.... Ugh.

      Edit* I guess that wasn't a shorty....

          Late second goal allowed, early third. And probably the back breaker. Frustrating.

              Ped state vs Wisconsin the last 3 years reminds me of CC under Lucia when they just skated around Wisconsin like they were pylons. Peterson x2, gerranazzo, Rud et al


              All I hear is psu forwards names dominating puck possession in the majority of these games

                I was looking at the Ped St. roster. 1 WI kid,1 from MN, 1 from MI,5 Canucks, 3 euros, all the rest from the eastern US.

                It's got to be the coaches AND the system to get kids from all over the map to be that good.

                I just don't like that ****ing place and hate losing to them in anything.

                  Geez the 3rd goal both D got caught way too deep on the 4 on 4, and on the 2nd goal the D did not stop the cross ice pass on the 2 on 1.

                  Tony must have said too much on the bench minor after the refs clearly ignored the penalty JD drew late in the 3rd. Disappointing to have a coach potentially throw a game away - if that was what the call was.

                  I believe Hughes took a dumb penalty that turned a pp to the 4 on 4 referenced above. JD took a dumb penalty in the big scrum in the 2nd but drew one later on.

                  Hayton played well enough, but took a dumb penalty.

                  Too much dumb to get a W tonight.

                    I wouldn't say the boys played well, but at least they played with urgency and fought hard uphill the whole way, which got them a better result than their actual play maybe deserved. Can't help but think if they battled with that intensity every night they'd have 4-5 more wins and be meeting expectations for the season. Hayton played with some confidence and I thought looked very good.

                    Looking at the team stats and over the last 14 games (Nodak series 'til now) here's three guys that are a mystery to me:

                    Malone - 7pts .50/gm (-2) (3 vs. Mercyhurst; 1 in last 6)

                    Johnson - 6 pts .42/gm (-5) (2 vs. Mercyhurst; 1 in last 6)

                    Frederic - 6 pts. .46/gm (-6) (3 pts 6x5; .23/gm 6x6)


                    Take away the Mercyhurst game and the PP and these three are just below Jarod Zirbel production numbers while playing 2-3x the minutes. Frederic's pedigree speaks for itself; but for comparison, Zirbel, Johnson, and Malone all last played in the USHL in '14-'15. Jarod Zirbel was 240th in points. Malone was 11th in scoring and Johnson was 9th in pts./gm. in an injury shortened season. Virtually every player in the top 25 in scoring that year is in the NHL, the AHL, or at or above 1pt./gm in the NCAA. What are the odds the Badgers picked the only guys in the top of the USHL who couldn't score in college, then also picked the only 1st rounder in the draft who can't score in college either.

                    Nope... they are good players. But they're not producing. Why?

                        Jury is still out. Oz hasn't lost the recruiting touch and Tony has the ingredients to be a great coach. The have one recruiting class playing for them, wait at least until they have 3 of their own classes to judge their performance as coaches.

                        The goaltending and defense has been abysmal and now it seems after averaging over 3 gpg they can't score in the past 12-14 games.

                        Have they changed Don Granato's system?

                        What does Mark Strobel bring to the team? Is he or Oz the D coach?

                          • This team has enough talent to make the NCAAs. If they don’t that is absolutely on the coaches. We were 6-2-0 at one point. Since then an abysmal 4-8-3 including bad losses to St Lawrence, Michigan St, and Mercyhurst. We have a sub .500 conference record. A sub .500 home record. These coaches are being paid handsomely to get results and they are lacking this year.

                              12 total wins the prior 2 season and pretty poor recruiting under the Eaves regime in the end are the hand that was dealt. 20 wins in year one was a little bit of fools gold compliments of Kunin and Besse being pretty good college players and a little smoke and mirrors. The reality of our current roster is we have 3 freshman on D playing every night which is not a recipe for success unless you have really strong upper class D....which we don't) and have not been particularly good in net (which I don't know why Hayton has not translated well to Madison).

                                At least last year they actually played like an offensive team. This year they’ve been sitting back ala Eaves’ style teams, courtesy of D Granato -> M Strobel I’m sure. Which is also why the offensive GF/G has dropped and defensive GA/G as well. I can’t even blame the freshman defensemen. They have looked better than most upperclassmen (Linhart/Davison). Kalynuk is our best all around defenseman. Tischke is stellar defensively ala Brodin for the Wild, but leaves you wanting more offensively. I thought Greenway looked noticeably better on Saturday after knocking the rust off the day before.

                                Our forwards are a disaster. I think part of that problem might be Tony’s line combinations. I mean, he put Ustaski with Frederic and Wagner on the top line for Saturday. Ustaski sucked the offense out of Kunin and Frederic last year and he has done literally zilch, 2pts 14gp, to warrant being on the top line. Our top goal scorer, Tarek Baker, has been in a bottom 6 role all season. He deserves to a shot in the top 6. It’s time to load up the lines:

                                Hughes-Frederic-Wagner
                                Weissbach-Baker-Johnson
                                Freytag-Malone-Dhooghe
                                Ustaski-Ford-Zirbel

                                Kalynuk-Greenway
                                Tischke-Ess
                                Inamoto-Linhart
                                Davison

                                Faceoffs continue to be a HUGE problem.
                                Friday 28 out of 67 (42%)
                                Saturday 32 out of 76 (42%)

                                Penn St is also kryptonite to the slow thinking badger players.
