In case you haven’t seen this blog post about UND fan's favorite opposition coach George aka "the Dasher Troll" Gwozdecky, it does make for an interesting read. This blog post also drips with arrogance, smugness and is condescending to say the least. My first question to Mike Chambers would be; do you always soil yourself every time you write an article about George Gwozdecky? Sure we all know that Gwoz is a reputable coach but he is also just one of many qualified coaches in college hockey. Since he is a Big Ten guy maybe he can apply for the Gophers position after Lucia is shown the door.
Denver Post -- Please excuse my reach while I connect the dots.
Gwozdecky, who is seeking a new deal at DU, is/was a Big Ten guy, and you know Penn State is going to hire a veteran college coach with big-league roots and NCAA championship plaques on his walls. Gwozdecky, 57, could be that man. He won NCAA championships as a player at Wisconsin and an assistant coach at Michigan State.
His resume at DU includes two NCAA titles (2004, 2005), three WCHA regular-season titles (2002, 2005, 2010) and four WCHA playoff crowns (1999, 2002, 2005, 2008). He is a two-time national coach of the year (1993, 2005) and the reigning WCHA coach of the year, his fourth overall.
See the connection here? This is beyond speculation. For Gwozdecky, it’s leverage.
