Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2018-2019: We can have a witty thread title when we start winnin
Well boys, I've seen enough this year. Another season out of the NCAA tourney. I just gave my tickets to my daughter to use or sell (good luck). Just like 3 years ago, my hockey money is now for NHL games.
Bitter? You bet your ****ing ***. 2 years ago, we were told to "Wait until next year!" Last year we were told to "Wait until next year!" It is now next year and it's worse than last with better players. Hmmmm.
UW will get my money again when they sign D-1 goalies, go to Western Canada for more talent, get a coach who knows how to teach power plays and face offs, etc, etc, etc.
Sorry boys, I'm ****ed off."Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Vince Lombardi

I think the Hammer will be a good goalie, too bad he got cut or he'd have played today, though Berry was solid, though Perrin on the radio said he's going down too early or shouldn't be at all in some cases and too deep in the crease. Obviously they need long term they need to get a goalie coach, that has to be a priority for next year. I'm sure Brad Winchester is a swell person, but him helping isn't doing the goalies any good.
Whoever is in charge for the 75% PK needs to be fired and I don't care who it is. That is stunningly awful. They would have probably swept this weekend if the PK wasn't horrific. This weekend the PK was 40%. That is beyond a steaming pile of elephant dung.
The faceoff situation is a f-ing joke. That is 100% coaching. Dumb luck should almost get you to 50%. You have to be totally negligent as a coaching staff to be this bad on faceoffs.
As for next year's class masking the inadequacies of the coaching, that may be a legit point. I think it is fair to say that DG >MS by a country mile. Oz hasn't lost it, has he? I don't want to believe that. Even it TG was an average NHL coach, shouldn't an average NHL coach be able to be an upper end college coach? Right now it sure looks like I'd take Steve Rohlik over any of the UW coaches. He's recruiting exciting players and they are winning regularly. It does look like it took Rohlik years 4 to get his program rolling, next year IS TG's 4th year. Maybe it's just going to take that long, but I'll tell you what, you don't need 1st round draft picks to kill penalties effectively and win faceoffs. I'm THIS close to saying blow the whole thing up.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

One other thing that is pizzing me off is the coverage overall of UW sports and the spin machine. It used to be that the radio stations that covered the events were not part of the UW machine, so you could get objective coverage. Now UW is in bed with Learfield and it just makes me sick listening to the coverage guys trying to make a silk purse out of a pig's ***. Great guys Posick and Lepay have sold his souls to the UW.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

What do you guys think about Todd Milewski? He's been doing recaps on FB Live for a bit, and I appreciate the insight offered. Very interactive with questions and such provided (live).Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Some are scoring alot of goals in high school... but nothing that "knocks your socks off."

Originally posted by druzy192 View PostLooking at the recruiting tracker, it doesnt look like we have any blue chippers lined up to come in after these guys. At least not at forward, based on the stats I'm seeing. These guys are scoring like 3 goals in 30 games in the USHL.

At least in the broadcast Perrin said Kalynuk was holding the puck way too long on the pp and he made comments critical of Tischke on the PK and Berry on the game winner, just being matter of fact honest.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!
