On the topic of Jeff Sauer-
 
I've watched Sauer-coached teams at Wisconsin for the last 6 years and I
would have to agree with the assessment that Sauer is a great recruiter
of talented players, but at best, a mediocre coach.  I think the power
play is a good estimation of how disiplined and well coached a team is.
despite the fact the UW consistently has good/great athletes, their power
play is consistently among the worst in the WCHA.
 
Just my two cents-
