Re: All Things Denver XXIX

i was a classmate of Dineen, and he's still my all time favorite Pioneer for his work ethic. I think he's still the only Sophomore Captain in DU history....Then he left for the Canadian Olympic Team in 84 and on to Binghamton and then NHL, where he became an all-Star.

Yep. The only sophomore captain, which did not exactly go over well with the upperclassmen. However, Ralph Backstrom was on to something as he captained two NHL teams -- the Hartford Whalers and the Flyers. I have always been more of a college hockey fan than an NHL fan (just based on my upbringing) and the only poster of an NHL player I ever put up on my bedroom wall was a Dineen poster.

Happy Thanksgiving to DU posters everywhere. I know we all give thanks that Jesse Martin is alive, not paralyzed and recovering splendidly. Enjoy the day.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

No DU players on either team. Maybe Bagman can set you up with a meet-and-greet with Dineen, who is a great guy and is always cool with fellow Pioneers.

I was actually going to ask Bagman about that when the time gets closer. I will be with a group of about 7-8 other guys (we call ourselves the "Gentlemen's Club", we try to do something once a month to get away from our wives). Anyway, I thought I would at the very least wear my DU colors. What do you think Bagman, anyway I could say hello to him and pass along any message from you?

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!

I don't think Bagman would have any problem with setting up a meet and greet with Kevin. Last Monday Bagman and I went to the Rangers/Flames game in MSG. Three of the five Dineen brothers were there. Jerry Dineen works for the Rangahs and Shawn and Peter were there scouting for Nashville and Columbus. We all met up and had a good time. The only Dineen I knew until then was Shawn who was at DU when I was there. Kevin and Gordie both had long NHL careers while Peter had a cup of coffee with the LA Kings and a long AHL career. Shawn played in the minors his whole pro career and Jerry played a few seasons in the ECHL. Shawn and Kevin went to DU, Jerry went to SUNY-Plattsburgh, Gord played in the OHL and Peter played in the BCJHL, WCHL and OHA. Of course their legendary father is Bill Dineen, former NHL player and coach as well as WHA coach.

Hoops team got their first win last night 69-51 over Alcorn State!

Dmann-Since you have blown me off everytime I go to Maine, I don't know why I would reach out to Dino for you. muahahahahahahahahahahahahah. DU78- I wish we could have more time with the Dineen boys. The stories were just beginning to roll.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

Jesse Martin's father, Terry, suffered a heart attack in Edmonton. He had two stents put into his artery and is recovering at his home.

Considering how well he managed his son's injury treatment over the last few weeks, his stress level had to be far higher than he ever let on in public.

Hopefully, he recovers back to normal. Stents are an amazing invention - a little mesh screen that fit in an artery, helping to unblock arteries and insure better blood flow.

Prayers and positive thoughts go out to to Terry, Jesse and the whole Martin family. This may not be Thanksgiving in Canada, but let's all give thanks that Terry and Jesse are recuperating.

Just in case any of you winced at Bagman's evil post, we just got off the phone and the shout out to Dineen is imminent. Have no fear, all is well in Pioneer land!!

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

The Pioneers are going to need to bring it much better against AFA. Denver's slow starts are getting old. Would love to see a 60 minute effort.

Gwoz not happy, said he may adjust some playing time rewarding those who are working hard with more ice time.

We got the the W, but it wasn't pretty. Kyle Ostrow was playing hard! Drew Shore was awesome! Brittain was very good. Zucker was there! The question is: To whom is gwoz speaking?

They're asking to give one away.
