Butcher looked really good out there. You know who I think deserves a shout out for this? David Carle. According to Monty - from the bench, David runs the Defense during the games. David has been one of Will's Coach's for 2 years now. So yeah - I think Coach Carle needs to be recognized as a big influence in Will's college game. Good luck to Butcher in the WJC's! Win that Gold, then there's a national championship to be had here in Denver!

Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!

Butcher's play has improved this season and he is certainly a mainstay on special teams. LaLeggia gets the press for his
offensive play, but you can't ignore Butch and Nolan Zajac.
Hope we get to see more of Tariq Hammond and Nick Neville at the Dartmouth tourney.

Hats off to Coach Carle.
He learned from Gwoz, Miller, LaLonde, and now Monty. Not bad!

I like the College Hockey Inc. commercials they are playing during the WJCs. DU is shown in most of them. A nice shot of Boone in one of them too. Some good national exposure.

They did a big exposé on Butcher during the first intermission of the Finland game. Mostly DU clips. Great to see the exposure, and see him playing so well.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVIII: On To Better Days!

Denver trailed 2-0 late in the second period before Ty Loney and Danton Heninen scored goals in short order to tie the score. A third period hat trick by Trevor Moore--one each on either side of a tally by Brown and an empty-netter--gave Denver a 5-3 win over Brown, thereby avoiding what would have been an embarrassing loss for the Pioneers. We'll see how the rest of today's results effect Denver's PWR.
