    Nick Shore scores on Jussi Olkinuora!

    BTW that was Nick's first AHL goal. And "Shoresy" was cited for having the best Halloween costume by some teammates.

      Football playoffs begin tonight, so I'll be watching Oak Park's first round game. I'll be JIP the scoring thread and hope the usual gaggle of reprobates won't disappoint and have the Pioneers safely in front by the time I catch up.

          It's almost like they've got a check list. Let's see: invite back the '68 & '69 national championship teams then don't honor them on the ice during homecoming. Check.

          Keep that g.d. jelly donut in our locker room. Check.

          Don't honor Masterton and Magnuson. Check

          Threaten the kid in the Boone costume. Check.

            Put words in students' mouths to pass the blame on the $100k mascot debacle: Check.

            Have a spokesperson state, without much paraphrasing, that "alumni don't matter": Check.

            All in the same sentence, no less:

            "Alumni are great and needed and incredible supporters of our athletic events, but the current student body wants a mascot to call their own. I think that is really important."

              Slightly doomy and gloomy, dubbie. There is some alienation. But I don't think that DU's stance on Boone is lessening input here, or affecting attendance at games much. How many people wouldn't attend a hockey game based solely on a mascot issue--maybe 100...200 at the very most?

              Or are you referring to Gwoz's firing? If so, that HAS affected excitement around the program. Frankly, it's weird not having Gwoz behind the bench. The DU community hasn't had a chance to connect with Montgomery yet, and losing to Canisius, etc. is not going to put butts in the seats or generate excitement about DU hockey.

              It's just a strange time for the program. Hopefully Montgomery strings some wins together and the excitement will return.

                Probably the most accurate way to describe things right now in terms of the larger population. It's just all intertwined when you're connected to the University in any other way. And so little of it has to do with the specifics, but the messages that are being sent.

                  It's a combination of things. Just like Old Pio listed. This is a program that should be on TV EVERY HOME GAME....instead it seems they follow the business model of Bill Wurtz. This is a program that should have an established top level coach...they had one and sacked him.

                    Strange times, indeed. DU seems rather tone-deaf lately. Honestly, who is more important to impress--some faculty member that's gung ho on the "inclusive excellence" BS, or the alumni that actually care about and contribute to the school?

                    OK, now you guys got me on the doom and gloom. Hockey tonight--go DU, kick some butt tonight!!!

                            Here's something to clap about - We had an errant puck on our side; laser-guided into the DU bench, which had Monty doing the classic "duck and cover" move. He did toss it over the glass to a little kid and we gave him a nice little round of applause. Less than 4500 people attended? I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see any sellouts; except for when You know who and you know who come to play us. Nice 1/2 advertising LED board though; certainly eye catching. Too bad it doesn't circle all the way around like in alot of arenas. But, I hear that's in the future expansion plans for the press box side of the arena? Ummmmm.... yeah I don't see that happening. Ever.

                            On a positive note - both you know who and you know who also lost - so it's easier to take
                            I want to be a fan of the best team in college hockey - so that explains why I am a DENVER fan!

                              Well, let's see, DU's administration has worked diligently and successfully to alienate various sectors of its fanbase...the forwards can't score....there's an unhealthy overreliance on scoring from the blue line...Steve Miller will be leaving shortly...the Johnny-Come-Lately Denver hockey program has failed to compete against the college hockey powers which are Nebraska-Omaha and Canisius...the decision to dismiss George Gwozdecky seems to be working splendidly...the Pioneers have choked on their own vomit in Magness versus the Mavericks and Golden Griffins and haven't yet played Saint Cloud, Miami or North Dakota on the road...actual attendance at last night's game was in the thirty-five to thirty-eight hundred range with next to no student body presence...and in the background I think I hear the estimable Kevin Bacon saying, "Thank you sir may I have another? Thank you sir may I have another?"

                                For those of you watching Piovision, does the advertising ribbon reflect off the ice? Speaking of advertisements on that ribbon, nice to see that Monty's DUI attorneys have become sponsors of DU hockey.
