    DU injury update from Mike Chambers. Add Matt Donovan to the walking wounded. He broke his finger against Minnesota State, played against UAA the following weekend and was held out of practice last week. He is probable for this weekend's series. Patrick Wiercioch has not practiced and his timetable is unknown. He is doubtful for the UND series. Chevy is listed as questionable as yesterday was the first day he put the pads on for some "light movement" with equipment. Even if Chevy is able to play, my guess is he would only play one of the games. It is time for Murray and the depth players to step up and perform, no excuses.

    Ouch. If any more bodies go down, you're going to need to strap on the pads and take a few shifts.

    By Saturday night, the benches may be like rec league (4 guys huffing and puffing between beers). Coaches pulling fans from the stands, turns into a "fans vs fans" game. Granted that's a worst case scenario.

      We could always get DU great and current Assistant Vice Chancellor/Senior Associate Athletics Director Ron Grahame to come out of the crowd and strap on the pads.

      DU Game Notes for this series.

      Highlights of Game Notes

      DU goaltender Marc Cheverie (left calf) and sophomore defenseman Patrick Wiercioch (right knee) are
      doubtful for this weekend’s series.

      UND is ranked No. 2 and DU is ranked No. 3.

      Sophomore forward Joe Colborne had a small pin removed from his left index finger last week.

      The Fighting Sioux lead the all-time series 129-110-8, but DU owns a 64-49-3 advantage in Denver. The
      Pioneers are 1-3-1 in their last five games against North Dakota and 4-5-1 in their last 10. The teams
      have split the last three two-game series’ in Denver.

        So what you are saying is everyone in the country should be scared. If UND plays a second half of years past they will have an unbelievable record. Also, look at what Merrimack has done after losing to UND x2. They have gone 6-2 in the last 8 games with solid splits with BU and BC. Granted BU and BC are down this year they are still quality programs.

Without those guys, I can't see DU taking either game from the Sioux, even without Genoway in the lineup. UND is a better team in every area right now than Denver is, save goaltending (if Chevy plays well), which is the great equalizer. Otherwise, the Pios will be likely be roasted by the flashing red lights.

          If Murray is forced to play both games and he plays the way he has to date (last place goalie in the NCAA saving only 83% of the shots he faces), the Sioux could easily hang 12-15 goals on the Pioneers this weekend.

            In reality I think he is just calling it as he sees it. That said, I also think the Swami is a bit of a pessimist

                These guys are all just college students with a special talent for playing hockey. Sure, we may have a visceral reaction to the jerseys they wear, and the schools they play for as a result of the intensity of the sport, but off the ice, most of the guys that play our game are the kind of fun guys you'd want to hang out with. I am always reminded of this looking after the handshake line after a hard fought series, when the guys get to share a few minutes with opponents they knew growing up, or in HS or juniors, before they leave the ice. The players may not like each other much on the ice, but afterwards, playing college hockey is part of a larger fraternity than just the team....Often times, the same guys that just spent two and half hours beating on each other on the ice are going out for dinner together, or a bar, house party, etc. on Saturday to hang out...

                  the hockey world is small. When I played a spring development league back in high school, I played on a team that played a game against a Blaine team that Brandon Bochenski played on. Years later, I ran into him in Blaine (when he was home for a few weeks during the summer) and we talked about it. Amazing.

                      Freshmen playing per game by WCHA teams to date:

                      5. DU 5.2
                      6. CC 4.5
                      7. MSU 3.9
                      8. MN 3.4
                      9. WIS 3.4
                      10. SCSU 2.4
                      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                        Also consider that with Chay's absence, Corey Fienhage will be in the starting lineup. Corey has played only 10 games in his career (including this season), the same number as most of our other freshmen.

                              Agreed. It's always cool to see the camaraderie between the players after a hard-fought game (aside from the Wheeler/Finley incident ).
