InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 So Penn State is currently leading the BIG in points.....I know they have played more games then Minnesota. But still!!! A team that has been in existstance at the Division 1 level fewer years then I have been a college hockey fan. Embarrassing for teams in that conference. It is embarrassing but hopefully it helps other schools believe they can become competitive quickly and grows college hockey. That being said, I'd bet money against ASU being at the top of the NCHC in their 3rd year as a varsity team(assuming they land in the NCHC). Quote

A team that has been in existstance at the Division 1 level fewer years then I have been a college hockey fan. Embarrassing for teams in that conference. Wisconsin is what is embarrassing, a top D1 program that can't find ways to win games. It is embarrassing but hopefully it helps other schools believe they can become competitive quickly and grows college hockey. That being said, I'd bet money against ASU being at the top of the NCHC in their 3rd year as a varsity team(assuming they land in the NCHC). I think ASU will be competitive in their 3rd year in the NCHC or at least competing for the last home ice spot in the playoffs. Quote
90siouxfan Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I wonder if Qwoz is interested in the ASU job? Quote
cberkas Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I wonder if Qwoz is interested in the ASU job? ASU is going with the coach they have now. Or the Baddgers job,hmmmmmm Gwozdecky is one of three coaches the Badger fans would take on Buckyville, the other two are Blasi and Hakstol (they don't see Blasi or Hakstol ever taking the job, but would take them over Eaves).

808287 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Wisconsin is now entering the toughest stretch of their season with BU, Michigan Tech and Minnesota. 1-16-1 is very very possible. That's got to hurt for the Badger faithful. I can't imagine the screams if UND took such a turn. Quote
farce poobah Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 The great equalizer in college hockey is the 18 full rides. Every night, there's guys out there playing major minutes that must be on partial scholarships (basic math, right?). That's a big reason for Penn State getting competitive quickly (plus facilities and coaching). And if ASU does it right, they can do it as well. Quote
Godsmack Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 I wonder if Qwoz is interested in the ASU job? I think Gwoz would be an ideal hire. A high-profile name to get some much needed credibility on the recruiting front. If George wanted a project with which to build from scratch from the ground up at the D-I level and have valuable input if/when they build a new arena, that would be the ideal place. Plus, you know ASU has the deep pockets to pay him. The only thing is, I could've sworn I read somewhere that, unlike Penn State, ASU said they'd keep their current coach when they make the transition. Quote
nodak651 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Wisconsin taking Cary Eades would be hilarious. Quote
Blackheart Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Wisconsin taking Cary Eades would be hilarious. Why? Because he is a goon? Quote

Taking over a program can have talent running for the exits too. Quote
SJHovey Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Wisconsin is now entering the toughest stretch of their season with BU, Michigan Tech and Minnesota. 1-16-1 is very very possible. The college hockey fans between here and Wisconsin are getting a pretty big kick out of Wisconsin's fall. But that could really come back to haunt them. In rivalry games you can throw out the records. They have to play Wisconsin at least 4 times this year, and a loss or two will not help MN's pwr at all. Quote

scpa0305 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 The thing is, UW could go to the B1G tourney and win. That would be awesome! Quote
SJHovey Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 That would be awesome! I'm not sure how awesome it would be. It will take away an at-large bid from a deserving team. If it's UND, I'm going to be bitter. If it's a deserving NCHC team, I'll be unhappy. If it happened to be someone like BC, MN or Michigan, we might be moving towards awesome. Quote
cberkas Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 B1G is doing a hockey/basketball doubleheader at Madison Square Garden starting January 2016. Edit: These games will be regular season hockey games. Quote
Fetch Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 If Edes goes back to college he would be a great coach Quote
SiouxVolley Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 B1G is doing a hockey/basketball doubleheader at Madison Square Garden starting January 2016. Edit: These games will be regular season hockey games. An attempt to get Rutgers to start hockey? Quote
cberkas Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 An attempt to get Rutgers to start hockey? From what someone said on USCHO there are no B1G schools adding hockey, so I'm not sure. The MSG thing has more to do with basketball, they are moving the B1G Tournament there with D.C. maybe hosting the B1G Tournament. Quote
Goon Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 If Edes goes back to college he would be a great coach I have to think that he will get a look somewhere. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Keegan Ford left the Badgers.What a train wreck in madtown. My god things went bad quickly! Losing coaches, players and recruits...eaves may want to get fired at this point ha. Quote
cberkas Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 What a train wreck in madtown. My god things went bad quickly! coaches, players and recruits...eaves may want to get fired at this point ha. I think there will be more following Keegan. Eaves wanted Peterson to red shirt this year so they had a experienced goalie next year, but Peterson said no. Quote
squirtcoach Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 If Eaves can turn this around and win the big 10 conference, he is hands down 'Coach of the Year". ? Quote
