Re: Fire Mike Eaves?
Long hiatus for me. I can no longer remain silent. Eaves must go...period. I am tired of games, low octane offense, and talk of "hard work".

Eaves has not shown the ability to adjust...and kids are not going to come if they know eaves is going to stifle them.

Yes, attendance is down but youve got an apple in with those oranges...
No game, for the entire 2012-13 season has even hit that number yet. That's a very large drop off in attendance in 3 seasons, but let's go further back...
2008-2009 - Average attendance - 13,785
2007-2008 - Average attendance - 14,133
2006-2007 - Average attendance - 14,430
That is over $100,000 per game in revenue lost on ticket sales alone. Not to mention merchandise and food and drink.
It's clear that something has to change, because you can't keep losing money like this. Fans expect better out of a program like this and there is just no light at the end of the tunnel right now.

If the hockey team is still profitable - or, to put it another way - if it is meeting budget expectations, then the decrease in attendnance may not be alarming to the bean counters.
Is attendance down? Yes. And I don't think anyone thinks that's a good thing, either from a budget standpoint or from an atmosphere point of view. What we don't have here (to my knowledge) is an understanding of 'tolerance' on a budget side. If the budget is for 9,000 per game (with above that being 'gravy') then this line of thinking may not yet advance the argument of those wanting Eaves dismissed.St. Norbert College Green Knights

Originally posted by bucky15 View PostI think you are correct. Barry doesn't want to pay for two head coach's wages, so unless attendance drops to 6k and the team only wins less then 10 games nothing will change until his contract is up. If you want to make a difference cancel your tickets and stay at home and watch the game or find something else to do in the winter on Friday and Saturday night from 7-9:30 pm. That is tough to say and do, but what is on the ice at this moment is a joke. Also, Eaves post game comments are a joke after each game about the team showing improvements. They have taken one period off each game and have no offense to make up for the period they decide to just go through the motions.
yeah, again moral victories don't count. Engblom had to be embarrassed for that team's performance, I'm sorry he witnessed that. And stop with the metaphors and anecdotes Coach, the kids have to be tired of it.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!
"but you're not as confused as him are you. it's not your job to be as confused as Nigel". Tap pt 1.
"I think it's ****ing stock. What--? Which part of that is unclear to you? I think it sounds stock to my ears. I mean, do you want me to write it down?" Tap Pt. 2
Who???! So What!!!! Big Deal!!!!
