BTW, I went back and listened to the presser again and he said Garrett Arnold was out this weekend. Not sure if he meant Garrett Allen or Grant Arnold.

Me too. Guess we'll find out tomorrow. Wonder if we will get film clips to see the frosh sing on the plane.

Well, it should be a powerful group. That brings up another tiny Jayism. Last week he made reference to the team singing the D-Rah after home sweeps. I thought that was something Gwoz instituted after road sweeps. Has the tradition been expanded?

Jimmy hasn’t learned all the names of his players yet. If you watch closely he calls them by their number not by their name.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

You're right. What did they say? I'm hoping it's just a matter of getting the thing installed properly. And they don't plan to do that in future. Ribbon boards can be useful during the anthem and pumping up the crowd. I can't imagine (admittedly very optimistic here) that DU would be cheesy enough not to utilize the technology to its fullest advantage. They've been cheesy enough to dismiss a mascot the students and alumni love, so I'm grasping at straws here.

All they said they still had some changes to do but they were going to pass my complaint along to facilities management. I used to have a connection, but no more.

That doesn't sound promising, does it? I've got no problem with advertising. But I would have a problem with them underutilizing a resource that's good for improving the game atmosphere.

Colborne close to his first goal for Calgary. But his eye level is a "wee bit" above the crossbar of the net.

All true. And the film also inspired the fearsome UAA student chant: Nanoo. Nanoo.*

Nanook of the North was certainly the first non-fiction feature film and predated the use of the term "documentary" despite some criticism because a few scenes were recreated. One persistent myth: Allakariallak, the great hunter who starred, died of starvation shortly after the film was released. Actually, he died of advanced halitosis, in the UAA student union.*

*(don't ask, just go with it).

In case you missed it...cool thing for the US NTDP guys to visit youth hockey practice while they were in the Springs. Article includes comments from your recruit Jared Fiegl.

(And I seriously hope the NCHC teams do well up in Alaska this weekend!)

Thanks for the tip. Good to know they chose U-18s to cheer for, not our friends to the south

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

Donovan back in Isles line-up tonight. Matt had this to say after this morning's skate.

Matt Donovan, on what he gained from sitting out the last two games: "I think just watching overall and thinking to myself what I need to do to get back in the lineup and play well and make the team better. [Being scratched] pushed you that much harder. I'm here now, and I don't want to get sent back down, so it makes me want to work that much harder to get back in the lineup and stay in the NHL."
