All things Denver XXVI: From Boonetown to Motown

Re: All things Denver XXVI: From Boonetown to Motown

Dmann--I've been married 14 years and my wife could care less about hockey. She'll generally come to one game a season with me. I've had season tix since we moved here 5 years ago. She's very tolent--she knows it's a big passion of mine. I don't have anything to add to PS's advice. Next Saturday I'm skipping the Minny game for a play to celbrate vday. It's money in the bank.

My challenge is that one of our kids was born on 4/9 which often conflicts with the FF. This year I could be flying back home to watch her blow out the candles and then flying back the morning of the 10th. How's that for inefficiency?

Take her to the Frozen Four with you. She'll have a blast.

She's only 8. I took her tonight which I rarely do because she gets sleepy, She wanted to sleep towards the end of the 2nd but then again so did I.

Pios need to come out and light the lamp quick just like they did the first night at the Ralph tonight. Take the crowd out of it. I think the RR line will be ready to click after a non productive performance last night. Chevy will be relaxed and dialed in. AF only had 20 shots last night. DU needs to focus on the fundamentals--passing, transition, hitting and disciplined D. That's the formula all the way to Motown. Can't wait to get down there for puck drop.

If DU makes it to the Frozen Four, I gotta agree with Swamster. There will be other kids there her age and it just a matter of finding things to do to match her interests. I know there were several kids in Boston and they had a blast. And that was before we had Boone.

Fantastic. One of the great jerseys in all of sport.

As I recall, the last DU alum to wear the famed "CH" for the Habs was Ed Cristofoli, who wore it for about 9 games in the late 80s?

Brock played 11:07 and had 5 shots on goal which led the Habs in shots. He was even and did not get any points in the Habs 5-3 win over the Pens.

Re: All things Denver XXVI: From Boonetown to Motown

Now I have to follow the Leafs and the Habs

Guess the Sabres, Flyers and Avs are just old hat

BTW, Ostrow wins the game on a bank shot off of an AFA player, from Centennial . Isn't that Nutini's home town?
