Ive got to admit, after last weekend I did NOT expect this. NO pop in the minuscule crowd. I had had enough and stood up to fire up the crowd and I got looked at like I was a whore in church. I have a feeling this young team will be like this all year.
And that’s The crux of the problem. If Granato doesn’t get it done this year with Caufield and Turcotte, it just won’t happen when they’re Gone cause the pipeline doesn’t have a group like that.
So, what’s next then?
Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Agreed. Fire wagon hockey with crap d isn't going to cut it. Especially once we lose two or three of these freshman.
Yeah so put Baker on 4th line, Dhoogie on Third. And have Holloway play with Lindmark and Byce on 2nd line. There you go.
Great idea!

In retrospect, this might have been the best idea!
Seems pretty obvious to me. Maybe Granato is keeping Baker and Dhoogie on second line bc they are upperclassmen leaders. Well he should get over that. Second line of lindmark, Byce and Holloway would be best second line in country. And Holloway would have someone to pass to after he skates around 5 different people.
It's like we had some good pressure in the first didn't go in and we folded.
I think this is probably a lot of it tonight. Badgers hit the locker room with some frustration after the first and were probably going "Settle down, these guys aren't much. Just keep doing what we're doing and it'll all be just okie-dokie, fellas."
Meanwhile in Clarkson's locker room they were saying "We're playing like dogs! Let's get out there and kill somebody! Blood on the ice, boys!!!"

A little dramatic, don’t you think? When was the last time a one-and-done class won a championship? Jack Eichel was the only instance I can think of but I think saying he won the championship is a bit belittling of his team.

Get serious. Wisconsin has been a mediocre program for 25 years. 1994 was the final year where you can say they were a year in and year out contender. So yeah, color me jaded or...realistic. Either way I want this program to be a contender in 4 out of every 5 years. This Granato’s 4th season and not only do I NOT see growth from the players from years 1, 2 and 3 I see they load up with talent in year 4 and 5 games into a 32-34 game season I get no sense they’ll be in the FF and let me tell ya, Granato needs that to keep the diehards from calling Barry.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey 2019-2020: Time to Get Offensive
Also...73, 77, 81, 83, 90 with losses in the championship game in 82 and 92. Then a 14 year drought and now 13 and counting.
The bar was high, now...what are the expectations here really?
