Re: All Things Denver XXX

I'd also love to see early jump from the Pios, but that's been very, hard for this team to manufacture

Perhaps they need Jesse Martin to lead them out on the ice. Every time he's come on the ice since his injury (2 times), DU's won the game...

I'm all for that. The DU ticket office has told me that my tickets are behind the DU bench. I can live with that!

I once took my wife and my parents to a DU-UND game, and we sat right behind the benches. Needless to say, my wife and parents were none to pleased at every shift change, and the smell of sweaty hockey equipment.

From now on, my wife makes sure that we are nowhere near the benches when we go to games.

They get the full experience of the game. I'll tell me parents, they're so close to the action...they can smell it!

It's definitely an experience that we'll never forget. You get used to it after about the first 5 minutes of each period...especially if the game is intense.

My mom had to deal with my smelly gear when I was a kid...she'll get nostalgic.

Re: All Things Denver XXX

That was a little weird on Saturday using our timeout halfway through the 2nd

Wasn't DU going on a PP when Gwoz used the TO? I'm pretty sure that DShore, Zucker and Salazar were on the ice for a decently long shift when the penalty occurred and Gwoz just wanted to give them some rest before the PP...

Ulanski and Glasser are playing in the central (FEDERAL) hockey league.... Fights, stripping, etc.

Stripping and hockey have a long history together...

Captain Kyle Ostrow will begin light skating Friday, but not make the trip to Omaha. (per Gwoz's radio show)

Jackson, Nutini and ??? need to demonstrate major league leadership this weekend.

Re: All Things Denver XXX

Quick trivia question for the DU fans. Who are the two most accurate shooters on the team this season counting all games? One leads the team at 29.2% with second one scoring at a 25% clip. I am heading home now and will catch up with all of you later.

Re: All Things Denver XXX

Well, one of the two is Drew Shore, but the other one surprised me.

He is known as the Goal Czar for a reason. Not bad shooting just under 30%. It is also great to see Drew Shore becoming so accurate this year after he struggled in his frosh campaign at making his shots count.

Yeah, Drew's progress has been remarkable in this area. A lot of his shots his freshman year were scattered, hasty and haphazard. Now, the man shoots with a purpose. The other team's goalies now cower and quote Devo: "Don't Shoot! (I'm a Man)".

Was really glad to see him (Salazar) score last weekend as had been a bit of a slump. It's the right time for the Goal Czar to reappear.!
And Drew has been consistent all year--his work in the off season has really paid off. Having Zucker and the Czar on his line certainly hasn't hurt.

His shot is one heck of a lot harder this year. He must have really worked on it in the offseason.
