    Love to have him, but I'm not too worried about the staff yet. I'm still of the opinion that comparing the stats from 2 years ago and then this last year and concluding the big difference is Donny is a logical fallacy. Seems more reasonable to conclude that a large part of the difference would be having Kunin, Frederic, Hughes, and Wagner up front.

      He stated that a former player told him this and that DG didn't like the NCAA limited contact preseason, going to classes, academic tracking, etc.....

        There’s a lot to coaching college hockey that has nothing to do with hockey.

        I can only imagine that it’s not for everyone.

        BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

        At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

          Sometimes people say things publicly that they know they “need” to say, but then real life happens and they sometimes decide that staying put isn’t for them.
          Truth. I’ll chalk it up to an overly hyperbolic introduction of the dream team coaching staff with all the videos and rah rah sentiments.

          And objectively there was no way to keep all 3 guys around for very long. I’ll be happy if TG can retain Oz for a few more years. Despite my misgivings as to how poorly the D played last year.

              I might make enemies here. While it would've been great to keep him, now I say "except "**** him". I don't want his ego around or wondering when he's going to leave our program for another NHL gig.

                That's why I can't see him coming back. He could be the best coach of Oz, himself and TG, but he's not going to sit tight for 5 years even with the title of Assistant Head Coach.

                    I am sure that most NCAA coaches would say the same thing about those rules and many more of the rules. That doesn't mean that they can't work within those rules

                        Agreed. And why would Don Granato not remember this since he was a 4-year player? Good grief.

                                Truth. Illinois can’t even retain the best chicago basketball stars in a sport they know so how the hell could they suddenly outgun Osiecki for recruits in a sport no-one in Champaign gives a **** about?

                                Btw, **** Illinois and Ped State. If we lose nodak, Denver, duluth, nmu, mtu, cc to play even MORE schools I don’t care about I will lose my ****.

                                Seriously, as good as tOSU was last year and with former Badger Rohlik at the helm I had seriously 0 interest in watching Ohio state hockey.

                                Yeah yeah yeah, old man rant the b10 hockey over.

                                EDIT: if we lose our non-con games! 😡😡😡😡
