All Things Denver, XXVIII

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

I love all this talk about our recruits, but I'm a little confused about the hype on Bennett. Didn't we just read an article about how he would most likely struggle with the speed and toughness of the WCHA? Also, who is the more anticipated forward, Zucker or Bennett?

Don't worry about Bennett's speed or his shooting. He's a sniper. Supposedly he needs to work on his defensive play and like everyone else, bulk up at DU.

Zucker is a complete player and a very fast skater as well. He may very well turn out to be a Hobey Baker candidate by his Junior year.

Zucker's stats will probably mirror Kyle Ostrow and Bennett's stats will be like Ryan Dingle's.

Best case scenario, Zucker will become Dallas Guame and Bennett becomes Dwight Mathiason.

DG, I know you are very powerful, but I didn't know you were a sorcerer.

Maine's Scott Darling is calling it quits!! He might make DG's "bad boy" list!! This puts them in a heap of trouble for what looked to be a very promising season!

I love Whitehead through obviously clenched teeth: "I'm excited for him."

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

Maine is going to be loaded this year including Hobey finalist Gustave Nyquist who had something like 62 points last year (he is the front runner for the Hobey next year) They didn't lose too many studs and have an outstanding Freshman class coming in, tons of Swedes. The Black Bears have been down for a few years but they have been loading and reloading for this season, just like we were for last season. So losing Darling is a big blow to their expectations. We'll see, they might go out and find another Swede!

My powers are declining with age.

There is one NHL scout out there that thinks Bennett is a Top 10 (draft pick) talent/potential. Saw it mentioned about a month ago.

Hope #25 has a big game tonight.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

NHL West Scout has Beau Bennett going in the 1st round. Check out Holland II because he puts Zucker in the !st.

Kudos to Chevy, he seems to have a plan for his life and school was and will continue to be part of it. All recruits should read this and take it to heart.

With his smarts, he kind of reminds me of Ken Dryden.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

Matt Carle's goal makes the "Shift of the Game."

Shift of the game: Late in the first period, the Blackhawks thought they had an advantage when they got their top line out against Flyers' fourth line. But the trio of Ian Laperriere, Blair Betts and Darroll Powe kept Chicago pinned in its own zone. Laperriere started the sequence by blocking a shot in his own end and then laying a big hit to get the Hawks scrambling in their own end. Eventually, Jonathan Toews turned the puck over and it found its way to Chris Pronger at the point. His shot was blocked by defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson, but Matt Carle intercepted the clearing pass and one-timed it home for a 2-0 lead. It was Carle’s first goal of the postseason.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

As we were trying to close out the previous thread, Swami had the idea of listing our favorite DU hockey moments (seen in person). This started a stampede of about three of us who responded. Anyway, I forgot one (even though I have the finish on tape). It was North Dakota (why do these things always seem to involve them?) with the score tied very late in the 3rd. Tom Miller scored the GWG at 19:59, I say again 19:59, with assists going to Don Thiesson and George Morrison. THAT was a special moment that for sure makes my top ten list (if the Big Ten can do it, so can I).

How about an eyewitness to the 1969 Championship Game. Gerry Powers out dueling Ken Dryden has to be pretty special.

Yeah, great game. Second on my list behind the '68 title game when Powers shut out ND 4-0. I was there in the Broadmoor and remember SI called George Morrison "rubber man" (or something like that) for his work in front of Dryden, including putting one in his five hole. Ba-da-bing!

I've posted before about my little faux pas during the '69 semi final game between Tech (yes, they used to be very good) and Cornell. I'm wanting an all western final and I'm yelling some serious smack at Dryden, not realizing the guy standing next to me was his dad. He never said a word.
