If the Badgers dont come back go win tonight they will be heading back to OSU next weekend. I dont like that. Napier is a stud between the pipes. If they come back then they head to Minnesota.

. OSU got the point that they needed but the Badgers got the 3 on 3 winner in OT.

Can't complain too much considering they were down 3 nothing and scored the last 4 goals.

Buckeyes are probably privately thinking they rather have faced Michigan State next week

For sure. Honestly. I'd hate to have to play Wisconsin. They have so much talent. They could easily make a run. One thing going for OSU is they are gonna be playing with house money. They'll be in the tourny regardless.

Notre Dame playing Big Ten hockey upsets me. That is all.

[stoutdude04]

What a dumpster fire of a game. Not sure why Berry got the nod. Hopefully they figure it out for tomorrow. I didnt like the OSU matchup because of Nappier, but I thought they had a chance.

Well I don't think they could play any worse tomorrow night.

Im starting to think Granato's heart never really was in this job. How do you have 4 first round picks and another 9 NHL picks and be this bad? Id speculate his plan was to build a winning team and then turn it over to Osiecki.

I thought his reported comment to Ryder Donovan when he originally committed to UND that he was going to coach him someday seemed like an odd thing to say.

I just don't think he's a very good coach.

The next coach had better have college experience.

Final in overtime.

OSU 2...UW 1.

 

Season over.

I know the emperor won't do it but it's time to pull the plug on Granato.

I went to the high school championship game today. Verona bear Notre Dame 2-1 in OT. Soft goal that was maybe tipped. However, Verona had 2 goals called back because of goalie interference. They showed the replay on the first one...it was iffy. The second one they didnt show and there was only 3 minutes left in the game, but it didnt look like it in real time.

The second one was the correct call. The ND goalie was so off balance because his left leg got clipped by the Verona player driving the net earlier in the play. The only thing that was weird was how long it took them in the replay. The first one... was a stretch that would never be called live without replay.

[stoutdude04]

Gotcha. We were on the far end, so I wanted to see a replay, but live it did look like he dove out at the shooter, so that makes sense. I was happy to see Verona win after that, although I typically cheer against them since they beat us 10-2 in the quarterfinals in 2002. Ha

College Hockey Insider says he spoke with someone this weekend who mentioned that things were dicey in Madison all year and a handful of players were not on board with Granato. FWIW.

[nodakfan17]

Trivial in the context of today’s news, but ... North Dakota is currently the #1 team in the country and they’ll likely have the Frozen Four cancelled. What a bummer.

[stoutdude04]

True.

 

Turcotte signs a 3 year entry deal.

 

I read badgers have 2 US development goalies signed...hope they plan out.

Looks like K’Andre Miller is gone too. I can only assume Caufield will leave too. So much wasted talent this season.

 

On a brighter note, the Badgers are coming back to Milwaukee for a Holiday tournament. I used to go to the Showdown when it was around. Hopefully I can make it to this one too.

Possibly. I've heard that the Canadians want Caufield to spend one more year at Wisconsin.

 

I'm looking forward to the tourny in Milwaukee. Curious if my season tix transfer over.

[stoutdude04]

Caufield coming back.

Sean Dhoogie transfering to Arizona State.

Reports are that Rob Andringa is stopping chemo treatment and returning home for hospice. So terribly sad at just age 51.

Admirals declared AHL champions on Monday.

Sweet. Didnt notice that.

 

I did see that AHL is saying they may not be able to have a season if games are played in empty barns. That would suck.

Ringo did indeed pass away over the weekend.

And the Bucky on Parade dedicated to him vandalized the next day.

Season starts Friday.

Wish i had any confidence they will be better.

I'm guessing 6th or so.

Granato can recruit but he can't coach for crap.

Goaltending continues to be a major issue. A couple freshman have come in and spoken highly of Granato. I'm hoping there are more televised games, but I wont hold my breath.
