All Things Denver XXIX

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

Here is Chambers' story about the press conference. Very encouraging news.

Sounds better than anyone would have ever thought possible. Man, when it happened I truly thought he was gone, I called my mom and said to her, "I think a DU player just got killed...".

I still don't agree with the punishment handed down to Malone and believe that he should have had at least 2 games. The way I see it is you can drop your gloves with the *intention* of fighting (and not even actually fight) and receive the exact same punishment Malone received (rest of the game, plus the next) without ever even actually laying a hand on your opponent.

Also, does anyone remember the WCHA handing down a 2 game suspension (reduced to 1 on appeal) on Max Bull his senior season? He was never even called for a major at all that season and the WCHA claimed it was a "buildup of his actions throughout the season", which basically meant that they decided to punish him for a knee-to-knee hit on UAA's Jesse Unklesbay which supposedly broke his leg. So, in the WCHA, you can break a guy's leg and get an initial 2 game suspension but break a guy's neck, nearly killing him, and get just 1 game? Outta whack, if you ask me...

Re: All Things Denver XXIX

He really looked pretty good, I expected him to not have a smooth entrance; it is amazing that he is walking that well. Don't know if it has been mentioned, but Jon Cook Sr told me that he was going to have the Martins stay at his house for the duration of Jesse's stay at Craig. Good news and good camaraderie all around! Go DU!!!

"What a sweet kid" indeed. Under the circumstances he looked pretty good. He's lost some weight, looks a little gaunt and tired. I'd imagine trying to sleep in the "halo" is very difficult. I just keep thinking about that 1% statistic, and how close we came to losing him.

Chris: I agree, but Brad Malone is yesterday's news. He has to live with what he did.

I guess so. But, I was more trying to state disappointment, and point out discrepancies, in the WCHA's discipline process, which is current news and will stay current news. It wasn't necessarily about Malone -- that was just an example.

I understand completely. Sadly, Jesse won't be the last player grievously injured. And the next one might not be so lucky.

And even more. Here's the link to the DU website which has selected quotes and as of right now the full audio of the press conference. The audio is 33 minutes long and Jesse speaks for about 25 minutes of it. Old PIo will need a full box of Kleenex for this one. Jesse is a member of the 1% club, those who survive an injury like this.

No problem Dmann, his recovery is nothing short of a miracle.
