All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Huh. I, for the life of me - cannot imagine any ice hockey player ever using cuss words. :rolleyes: And what's this jibberish about the refs??? Sounds like Big Red couldn't handle the fact that they were BIG LOSERS. How DARE some punks from the east question our #1, fair minded, super-skilled, fantastic, ultra-professional and unbiased WCHA Refs!!!!
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Wish I had been there last night. Read the comments by Cornell's coach. He doesn't have to worry much about coming back to the WCHA after this year anyways, unless he's playing Anchorage or Tech. :D
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Last night I thought Scotty Mayfield was standing next to the ref signaling "Come On" to Cornell. But after review, determined he was waving a polite Bye-Bye to the Big Red.:D

Never did see what started it all. Cornell coach said DU should have stayed on their bench at game's end, but don't they always come out to congratulate the goalie after a win? And stay on the ice for a stick salute to the fans.

Did you notice the hard hat barely fit on Larkin Jacobson's head? Big congrats to him on his first collegiate goal!

I recommend he schedule Tech during Winter Carnival. Snow up to his lips and a cornholing, too.

When I heard about the Cornell kid lipping off to the refs, my mind wandered back to Andre Gambucci. You pull that crap on him and he'd bust you back to peewees.

I wondered where he got that "keeping guys on the bench" too. Maybe in the Ivy League after the horn sounds they have "dress for sucess" lectures or read passages from scriptures. But not in the real world.

Yeah, looked like the hard hat was pounded on to Larkin's head. Man, it was great to see him come out of the deep freeze to contribute a GWG. BTW, do you think we could chip in to buy an x-acto knife to scrape that "filthy, disgusting boid" off and replace it with an arched DENVER? Apparantly that's one fowl that won't ever appear on the endangered species list.

Just to put in perspective how idiotic this whole scene in Denver was.......nobody mentions that while these 2 teams are wanting to brawl - we have DU Assistant Coach Derek Lassonde and Cornell player Cole Bardreau hugging, high-fiving and creating INDELIBLE memories that are a HELL OF A LOT MORE IMPORTANT than a friggin handshake inside Magness Arena, that will last a lifetime.

I also saw Paul Phillips pull a Cornell player aside and shake his hand. I think it was number 7 on Cornell, which appears to be Braden Birch, one of the captains.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sure going to cry myself to sleep about Cornell boycotting the WCHA. :rolleyes:

The first rule of coaching when your ****ed off about refs is to limit what you say after the game to people with mics and cameras. Second you should always use adversity to teach your players what they need to learn. Lastly, you model taking responsibility for your mistakes. This guy failed on all three counts. Anyone who was there will tell you several CU players lost their cool after losing a tight game. Lay down in your bed and stop crying.

I dare say if this had been league play, Schaefer would be watching Cornell's next game from his home.
Your 2nd and 3rd points are what make not only a good coach, but also a good teacher and a good man.

Some would say those same rules would apply to posting on this board. :cool:
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Coming from Omaha for the games this weekend. Pretty excited! What's the alcohol policy at DU? Do they sell?

Looking forward to some great hockey.

Full bars throughout Magness Arena selling beer, wine & liquor.

Best pregame spots are Crimson & Gold or Spanky's.

Have fun
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

We will!

This is as tough to understand as the Mermis decision.

London has two of the top six goaltenders in the OHL. One guy has a record of 16-1-1 and the other is 18-4-1. And they both have over 92% save percentages.

Now UNO has no viable backup goalie this season & the #1 goalie will graduate after this season.

Trust me, no one here understands it either. Stolarz had a huge upside watching him, we really needed him next year and to get some minutes relieving our guy this year....this kind of sucks. Who is advising these players? I think he would have been better going through the WCHA and developing...but oh well I suppose...
