All Things Denver XXIX

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

If NCAA victories were so important they could be easily incentivized in his contract. Not only that but Gwozdecky is tied with the 2nd longest win streak in NCAA history with eight (2004-05).

DU is playing Russian Roulette with Gwozdecky. If he gets a big offer, DU may only get 48 hours to match it and that's only if he's not really interested in switching schools.

If DU is really this stupid, they will lose him.

Does Coach Gwoz's daughter graduate from high school this year or is she enrolled at DU?
What other schools pay more for their hockey coach that might be in the market?
Penn State, Minnesota, ????

Don't assume the Big 10 schools automatically pay more than DU does. Some of these schools are quite constrained where it concerns hockey.

Losing Gwoz would be the worst possible message at the worst possible time.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

Gwoz still has several years left on his current contract, and he's already top 5 in his sport. He'll have more contract leverage if he can get deep into the NCAAs this year. Right now, Gwoz has far less contract leverage with the last 5 early playoff exits and the decline in ticket sales.

Let's hope this discussion becomes moot--soon.

Hope for a tie tonight. That would put UND with 22 points, DU and UMD with 20 points, UNO with 18 points, CC with 17 points and Minneosta and Wisconsin with 14 points. Everyone else is pretty much out of the MacNaughton race.

More from the USA Hockey blog.

A few key plays stood out during the organized scrimmage. Connor Brickley laid a heavy hit early in the scrimmage that resonated throughout Houston Field House. Jason Zucker scored on the very first shift of the scrimmage off of a faceoff in the offensive zone. Jamie Oleksiak showed versatility when he roofed a shot from the slot. And Andy Iles shut the door in the “deciding” shootout on all three Blue shots.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

RPI tops U20s 4-3.
It took OT and a 12 round shootout. 5-4
Zucker with 2 goals in the shootout and an assist in regulation. He had 3 at least great chances during regulation.
Shore with a shootout goal and an assist on an Emerson Etem goal in the 2nd period.

Video of the shootout. Thanks to RPI's RHamilton.

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

Thanks for the video. That was a long shootout. RPI is coming on right now. It will be interesting to see what they do in the second half. I went down to the CC/UNO game tonight. UNO won it 3-0. They played a samrt road game. They play disciplined hockey and are very strong on D. They move into fourth place just one point behind us and UMD.
