    I kind of expect Connelly to do the "coaching," by analyzing video and such, but he can't be on the ice as he is a team official.

      Well, to be fair they can't really DO anything about it for a few weeks.
      Sure, they can practice and watch video and lift weights and all of the preparatory stuff...but they can't really DO anything about their perceived spot in the pecking order until the games start.

        I vote @MadCityRich for goalie coach.

        Or full time skype with Korn.

          I think I recall an interview with Sanger saying something along the lines of "by the time they get to this level, they know how to play goalie, they know the techniques and how to work on them. 95% of what I do is work with them on the mental aspects of playing in goal."

          If that's the case, then it might not be a disaster as Connelly can probably really help work with those things. Plus Connelly has been getting coaching experience at the international level the last couple of years, which is good.

          Worst thing that a parent can go through for Sanger. Really feel for the family and hope all comes out alright.

          Could it be that Tony and Jeff talked about Jeff needing to take this year with the family and perhaps they're thinking he might return next year if all is well? If something like that is the case, then it might make sense to just bring in Winchester for this year and have Connelly help to get through. I'd support that.

            NHL teams have goalie coaches, D1 men's and women's teams have goalie coaches, UW needs to have one.

            I am irritated by the lack of continuity within the coaching staff. It's a revolving door.

              I don't think there's any reason to be irritated by Sanger taking off to spend time with his family under the circumstances. Certainly that can't be helped.

              We've all had this conversation before re: goalie coaches. I'm not sure there are tons of high level goalie coaches in Madison willing to give up camp coaching, take the time off from work, and coach goalies at UW all the time in exchange for game tix and a t-shirt. But I'd encourage anyone with a list of all those coaches who do fit that profile to forward it to UW staff.

                I think there is nuance her that Granato alludes to in the article. Connely can't be on the ice during the actual team practice (i.e. designated practice time with the coaches.) But, since he isn't a coach, I'm pretty sure that means he CAN spend time on the ice outside of the designated coached practices with just the goalies (much like the team is allowed to work on-ice without the team's coaches, but with external coaches, former teammates, etc. during the summer or outside of practice, or how they can work with UW strength and conditioning staff (but not coaches) outside of the designated practice times. So, in this case, Connely's limits for not being able to coach "during practice," could actually allow for more actual goalie coaching outside of designated official practice time, because he is not a coach. You know, the usual, completely sensical NCAA rules...

                From the article: "UW has a former goalie on its staff in director of hockey operations Shane Connelly. Under NCAA rules, however, operations staff members can't do any coaching during practice.

                "They'll be taken care of," Granato said. "That's certainly something we're aware of from a coaching standpoint on making sure they get the proper work. We'll go out early (to practice) with them.""

                        None of the games @ UND, UND or UM are on TV. Ridiculous.

                        If Sanger needs to be with his family, by all means be there, family comes first. It's still TG's responsibility to find another goalie coach. No disrespect to Cons, but he isn't a goalie coach, he's an x goalie, it doesn't mean he can coach. I find no other way to characterize this other than very distressing.

                        I can't wait until Friday night and get to chant "more goals than shots". It's better be a bloodbath @ LaBahn.

                          And this is what Barry “I’m not a hockey guy” Alvarez touted as a bonus of forming the B10 hockey conference. There would be more coverage via btn. Welp, several years in and same old ****.
