Cap Times Idea Fest: Live at the Greenbush Bar with Tony Granato

In this week's episode of The Wisconsin Sportscast, Lucas and Oates return to the Greenbush Bar on Regent Street in Madison as part of the Capitol Times Idea Fest. This time, they’re joined by a special guest: former Badger Men’s Hockey player and coach Tony Granato. In addition to four years as a player for the Badgers and eight years as their head coach, Granato also coached Team USA in the Olympics in hockey in 2018, and helped the Badgers win the Big 10 championship in 2021. Since leaving Wisconsin, Granato has entered the realm of docuseries with Fight for Life with Tony Granato, which you can watch the first installment of on NHL Network. Granato, Lucas and Oates touch on a slew of topics in this one-hour special episode of The Wisconsin Sportscast: from having to play as a rat in the NHL, to the Fight for Life docuseries, living in Wisconsin as a Chicago sports fan, NIL in modern college sports, Mike Leckrone and more. Of course, they also take a look at last week’s Badger Football win and what they need to do to go home happy against Alabama this weekend, and whether or not it’s too early to think about the Packers going to the Super Bowl.  The Wisconsin Sportscast with Lucas & Oates is a Cap Times podcast produced by Nate Wegehaupt.
