    Why kill the Showcase when you want to play the B11 teams? I'd keep the Showcase, ditch the showdown and add OSU in place of the Showdown, each team travelling every other year. Now you're playing all 4 B11 teams at least once.

    UW could also get into the Great Lakes Invatational as well to fill the2 game void of the Showdown.

    The article also indicates Eaves wants to play more cupcakes to bump up UW's winning percentage. Coach, How about just get your young men to play well enough to beat any and all and not worry about how good the teams you are playing are? If you have schedule cupcakes to enhance your chances to win, well, just quit now and we'll find someone who will beat the best of the best since you don't think you can.

    Maybe that's why he floated switching to the CCHA? CCHA = Cupcakes?

      No, Barry floated the idea of moving to the CCHA - Eaves firmly squashed it.

      There are so many moving parts here and contradictory statements, it's impossible to discern exactly what's going on.

        None of us wants any of this crap. It's our idiot AD who wants this. You know, the same guy who thought that Bielema would make a good head football coach?

        Never liked Barry all that much, but respected and was happy with his results on the field. Unfortunately he's trying to apply logic and Big Ten thinking to a team/sport that doesn't fit into that space. Believe me, we as a fan base have not been polled on these matters.

          Which is ironic, considering a privately run enterprise like the Chicago Blackhawks asks for (and listens to) input from their fanbase more than a team from a public university.

              The Showcase needs to stay in some format. The Showdown in the current format can be allowed to die as far as I'm concerned. It was cool in Milwaukee with top notch teams. Right now it's just two more games at the Kohl Center against mediocre teams when students are out and a couple of the program's best players are off playing Juniors.

              On the Smith hit, I did see it on the highlights and I had no beef whatsoever with the game+ he automatically got from the DQ. However, I thought the additional game was a little overkill because it's not like has a track record with this stuff. I'm not really complaining because it was a dangerous play and he put himself in this situation. I just thought it was unnecessary. I guess sure Irwin having to miss this weekend probably had something do with the decision.

                He's your reprsentative. The college hockey world is very confused about Wisconsin's attitude towards Men's hockey.

                          One of the best quality comebacks of all time (wish I would have said it).

                          But I'm disappointed in Wisconsin's direction on breaking up the Showcase and not scheduling top Eastern nonconference foes.

                                Great effort tonight, just hope we get better at finishing. It's becoming a trend to just miss although maybe our puck luck has just been bad and it will turn starting with the third goal tonight. We absolutely dominated and the score was closer than the game play.

                                Man is the crowd getting lamer by the week or is it just me?

                                Great job Bucky! Now let's see if we've learned how to do it two nights in a row yet.
