      Certainly not as shallow as the Kohl Center or most baseball stadiums. Certainly not as steep as the upper deck of the Bradley Center or new Conisky in Chicago.
      It's a pretty good rink to watch a hockey game. I made it out there for North Dakota vs. Denver in the regional final last year. The games were not very well-attended though. The rink was barely half full, and almost everybody was a Sioux fan.

        Yuck. DU struggles with this. If we don't control the tempo and score early and often we will be flying home early.

          It's not advertised very well locally... I didn't see or hear anything about it last year here. This year I've seen TV ads at least.
          MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

          Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

            Agree!!!

            Of course it would be nice to have our 5 Iron Men on the blueline. Plus 1 would be even better
            GO DU !!!

              I hate the dark blue boards with white lettering. I hope it's not like that past the bluelines where they have the schools names. The goalies seem to have a little harder time picking up the puck with that background. Well, at least Billy Sauer did.

                At the Resch Center for a corporate event. Talked to one of the ice techs who said the ice is smoother than ever, and the Gamblers who had a chance to skate on it earlier this week were jealous that they've never seen it this good.

                Sounds like good news for the teams that can skate well.

                Might have to sneak off for a peak before I have to leave.

                          Just read the USCHO preview. Wow - 91 years of head coaching experience among the 4 coaches in this regional, with Schafer being the baby at "only" 17 years of experience. Quite a contrast from the East Region with 3 rookie coaches!
                          If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                            You know, I was going to watch the game tomorrow, but now that I know Michigan once lost a game when they were a number one seed several years ago I realize we have zero chance of winning. Glad I didn't waste the three hours. As always, thanks for putting everything in perspective Paula!

                            (Also, who knew that our problem this year was "over thinking"? No wonder we couldn't beat Western....)

                              From Adrian Dater in Denver Post

                              Notes: The Pioneers will start Sam Brittain in goal today. ... Forward Beau Bennett (wrist) made the trip with the Pioneers but is doubtful to play. ... Forward Jason Zucker (upper-body injury) will be a game-time decision for DU. ... This is Denver's 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance. ... Forwards Chris Knowlton (lower body) and Paul Phillips (upper body) are questionable.
