    Or full time skype with Korn.
    I DO have MCRJr's 4 different sets of Bill Howard Goalie School videos from the late 90s until 2008ish. I could bring a VCR (Look it up, punks), sit the boys down in front of a CRT TV (Look that up, too), and sit back with Doritos and Budweiser. BTW, I still have Korn CDs!

      I love Howie, but Howie can't run his camps AND be the volunteer goalie coach. NCAA rules prohibited it the summer Howie left coaching the Badgers. Probably not a coincidence there.

        I am 100% behind this idea!

        It's simple. Just stop the freakin' puck boys! Now toss me another cold one.

          I would like to attend these sessions. I will just bring better beer (or some Zima.)

            True, but it's all wishful thinking. I guess we've got to trust G on this move.

              My faith in TG has been shaken to the core, when I look at this goalie coach thing, look back on the goalie trainwreck last year, the lack of tight play in the D zone, and the recruiting flips/losses. A negative aura has sunk over me. This season is a referendum on TG as a head coach.

                Me too! MY son did the Korn camp one year and we had him in the Fox Valley a few times too.

                    Having Kalynuk and Miller gives us a couple of very good, mobile, offensive defenseman we can put out on consecutive shifts 3x3, so it seems ok to me from the Badgers standpoint.

                    I was intrigued by Todd M. posting a working line combo of Zimmer-Malone-Johnson the other day. May seem a little 'meh' to some fans... but I thought Zimmer was really coming on late in the year last year. He's a terrific skater and if he has finally gotten up to pace and has learned to use his speed and mobility to make things happen without the puck.. I could see him being a real disruptor if he embraces that role, and that becoming a surprisingly good line.

                      People complain no matter what, but 3 on 3 is 100x better than straight to shootout. We can accept gradual improvement.

                        I like that line, Zimmer needs to be with top end guys so he has the best opportunity to show what he can really do. And being up against the opposing team's top line will also help push him to use his assets to the fullest.

                          Yeah, Zimmer has the wheels and ability to be one of those guys that ends with 8 goals but is still a MVP type guy for you. I'd love to see him play that way and I think maybe he can.

                              I will say that I am pretty happy Tony isn't going to school or coaching the Olympics this year. Personally, I'm hoping to see a bit more out of Tony.

                              Regardless of all Eaves recruiting or personnel problems, one thing I always liked about him at his best (and probably worst) was his intensity. You could get third degree burns 5 rows up behind the bench when they were facing down a #1 team or in a big tournament game, he radiated so much intensity.

                              Tony is a super competitive guy, I wouldn't mind if he maybe let go a few times to get the boys cranked up even higher. Get some bench minors, throw some chairs in the locker room, take a swing at a ref! You know, old time hockey!
