    Re: All Things Denver XXIX

    Now when I saw the words Crown Royal who did I think of? Old Pio, of course.
    Surely, you have a few Crown Royal moments that would muss Jimmy's hair.

      Re: All Things Denver XXIX

      Pioneers have been through a difficult opening schedule, a raft of injuries including one nearly catastrophic, and now final exams are behind them, so to be in second place is a very good result.

      That said, you can't put a ton of stock in the standings, given the big disparities in league games played (DU's played 10, CC has played but 6) and the fact that there isn't much separation at this point.

      What's exciting for DU is that the Pioneers have essentially gained two new front line players in Nick Shore and Dusty Jackson from injuries to help offset the loss of Jesse Martin. The defense is also playing better, and I think DU could now rest John Lee another weekend to give his hand more time to heal, as Lake State and Air Force are likely at the same about level as Bemidji State. We're also seeing Maiani's scoring drought turning into a streak, and Bennett, while not scoring is proving to be a fine passer at this level. And Makowski's blueline bombs are helping.

      Both Lake State and Air Force are teams that DU should beat, and I think next weekend will be a good weekend to fully integrate Nick SHore and Dusty Jackson into the system, and get the team to really gel before the UMD trip.

        Generally I wait 'til the late NFL games to indulge in Crown, today I might make an exception. I'm feeling like Northwestern's defensive coordinator. Besides, I lost the tiny amount of respect I had for Jimmy when he started dressing up like a Nascar driver to do spots for a product that purports to make him, uh, bigger, if you know what I mean.

          True enough. But, even though the 57's have "only" played six league games, they've managed to lose four of 'em. And DU has fewer losses than all but two WCHA teams. I think at this point their conference performance has exceeded just about everyone's expectations.

            Agreed and don't forget there was a poster among us who declared he would be ecstatic, if by the time the Denver Cup was upon us we would be at .500. We're at .750!!! Yeah baby!!!

              The Pioneers have only looked bad against BC. And as good as they obviously are, I'd like to take a crack at 'em now. We'd get a couple of points at least, I'll wager.

                I'll take that bet if we meet again, which likely won't be in your home rink this time.

                    What a master of the obvious you are. Here's a suggestion, stay out of our thread and MYOFB. Otherwise I'll be forced to mention that great BC star Tim Sheehy (from long long ago) once told me he'd prefer playing for a coach and not a priest. He was referrting to Snooks Kelly. We've all gotten trick knees groveling at the superiority of the mighty BC, so give us a break for one deviation from dogma, okay?

                      WOW, that was a pretty harsh response don't you think? When you suggest that your team would get "at least" a couple of points if they played BC again after the way we handled you in your own barn, you're gonna raise some eyebrows. Hope to see you guys again in the NCAA's and please take a chill pill...

                        Yeah, can't have any apostasy can we? Jump off, dude, and entertain your little east coach friends. Raise eyebrows? What, among hairdressers? Or cross dressers? Raise eyebrows? Jeez, you gotta be able to do better than that.

                                OK, changing the subject. I'm sorry to be dim here, but how does this Denver Cup format work again? Why are there not 4 teams? This new format started last year right? Yeah, I don't get it! Somebody help!!
