I am trying not to. It certainly isn't for lack of playing time.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
Very user unfriendly. I go there every day and totally hate the new design. Tough to read articles and switch from one place to another. If most articles were not sent to my regular email, I'd be totally frustrated. It even makes purchasing of clothing tough. They will realize this when Holiday sales suffer.
Agreed. I wish I had some scotch handy.
On a totally unrleated note, does anyone else hate the new denverpioneers.com design? I think that the floating header is way too big, so that there is hardly any content above the fold. A problem which is only exacerbated by the presence of a floating footer. (I know I know, if that's my biggest problem...) (meh... I just noticed that you can make the footer go away.)

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
Am I the only one who thinks that it is rather lame of Quentin to even consider this, just a couple months into his college career? Is he crying about not getting enough PP time? If so, I hope that he gets wiser as he gets older. Also, perhaps he could elevate his game and actually score some even strength goals, too. If he can't do that, then he won't have much of a professional career, anyway.
EDIT: I just read some of the stuff on DG's blog. Maybe the rumor was completely unfounded--if so, Quentin doesn't deserve any blame. But I sure hope that freshmen these days aren't crying about lack of PP time. Earn it first!

It wasn't typical, and there is way more to it than Chambers and Gwoz are indicating. Regardless, like I reported...he's not going anywhere now.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
So glad I'm not alone. That floating header is W-A-Y too big. And it jumps up/down so quickly.
And So Glad, Q Shore is staying in Denver!

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
I'll drink to "The Q" staying. And I'm glad to hear others of us b*tching about the DU website. I'm so insecure about my computer abilities, I always attribute any problems I'm having to my own ineptitude. Reassuring that for once it isn't me.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
Is anyone else a little miffed about this Q story? What the heck? It's just now December, he gets plenty of playing time, he has had two brothers play for DU and another one on the way. His parents met at a DU game, they grew up watching DU and dreamed of playing here. He's only a Freshman, what gives?

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
These kids have a lot of pressure on them and have high expectations of themselves. When they don't feel they are reaching their goals (their goals and not anyone else's), they look for another way to reach that goal. I cannot tell you if this is the case with Q. The Canadian junior leagues always draft high end kids, even if they know they may not get them, in the hopes that they can convince them at some point to join them. They will constantly contact the kid, his family or advisor to gauge if the player has any interest in joining them. One example of player at DU who was constantly asked to jump to the WHL was Joe Colborne. If they sense a player may want to join them, they strike like a shark. DU has been fairly lucky in that during the season only Matt Pettinger, TJ Fast (thanks Chris) and William Wrenn have left for the WHL during Gwoz's tenure. Wrenn's was a case where he wasn't getting much ice time and Pettinger was convinced that it would improve his draft status while playing for Canada in the WJC.

Don't worry about it. It seems like it is over with and probably wasn't anything to even get worked up about to begin with.
Just because some hack works for The Hockey News doesn't automatically mean he knows what he is talking about. The dude had a column from yesterday in which he stated that there is no reason for a hockey player to go NCAA unless they go Ivy for the education, which is ridiculous.
As a DU fan, just give QShore the benefit of the doubt and carry on...

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
TJ Fast left as well. DU has also lost a couple of commitments in Ty Morris (around 10 years ago or so) and recently Connor Honey.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV
Thanks Chris I knew I was missing someone. Again, I believe the issue was playing time when TJ left. Also I forgot about Keith Seabrook who left after 1 season to go play for Calgary.
