Numbers wise the 85-86 line of Gaume,Mathiasen and Ecklebarger stands up pretty well.

That mid 80s era was the high water mark of offensive hockey, as 6-5 scores back then were as common as the 3-2 scores are now. Better defensive systems, improvements in scouting/sattelite dishes and the rise of specialized goaltending coaching, the butterfly style and increased goaltending equipment size have forced today's collegeians to score at about half the rate now as players did back then. When you watch tapes of that era, it's kind of astounding how much better defenses and goaltending have become today, at the expense of the scorer.

Dallas Gaume had 266 career points at DU to lead the all-time career scoring list, including 66 points as a freshman and 99 points in his senior year. Rhakshani had 50 points this year to lead DU as a senior, with about half the points Gaume had as a senior. Thus, Gaume's DU records will likely never be broken.

I have to say I am very happy to see Jonathan Toews on the national scene! Captain of a Stanley Cup team after how many years as a pro? It seems like yesterday he was giving us fits playing for UND!! Then it occurred to me that even though they're the enemy, that line of he played on, the DOT line had to be one of the best lines in college hockey! Maybe we could get a few posts out of this, best college hockey lines ever, the DOT line?, the RECing crew? Discuss,

I suspect Crown Royal may have something to do with this post.

As Lee Marvin said in "Cat Ballou": "I smell a water hole."

The season ended today for Gabe Gauthier 7-4-11 +3, Patrick Mullen 0-0-0 and the Manchester Monarchs.

Gabe had an assist in the losing effort. He finished in the top 20 for both points and goal for his stint in the playoffs.

I've got nothing, and i have not had the good fortune to be at any really good, memorable DU games. The one I remember most from my days at DU was a nothing game against UAF during the course of which the Fairbanks goalie, whose name was Fish, turned around and gestured at my buddy and I in response to some comments that we may or may not have, but probably did, make. DU won that game pretty handily.

Flyers get the win to go up 3-1. Blackhawks up 3-0.
