Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

DU back up to 10 in PWR with 2 games to go tonight. DU really needs to win tomorrow night.

Yep the penalties are typically the ones you take when you are tired: hooking, tripping, holding. The opposite of the aggressive penalties like X-checking, interference, roughing.

Sadly, unless a dramatic improvement happens, which it still can, we are looking at next year. Sad, but realistic.

Am I becoming more like the swami? lol.

Move your feet, boys!
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

UMD beats CC 3-2, doubtful if CC becomes a TUC the rest of the season.

1st loss in a month, one point out of first place, 10th in the Pairwise and lots of quality wins on the resume.

The formula in the WCHA hasn't changed in 57 years.

DU needs to split on the road and win at home and they'll easily make the NCAA Tourney.

Chances of winning the Broadmoor are slim, but lets face it, nine teams are within four points of first place. Crazy.
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Need a comeback tonight.
Can't let the cloudies dominate play.
Get back on the 5 goal plan!

I suspect DU will make the national tournament. They clearly are not in line for the McNaughton. I hope they win round one, because my trip to Minneapolis in March will be a little disappointing if I don't get to see DU (although it will still be fun because I will get to see both of the twin nieces) but I agree that they are also pretty unlikely to win the Broadmoor. I still think that they probably limp into the NCAAs. Frankly, a sixth place finish would suit me just fine.
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

I'm sticking with what I posted last night regardless of the the 5-1 PASTING we received tonight. For DU to make the NCAA tournament, we'll have to have some impressive wins down the stretch as this team, right now, is not good enough to win the the WCHA final five. I'm actually hoping that after a bye week, we still can win the Gold Pan. If CC sweeps us after the bye week, say goodnight for this season.
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Gwoz sounded almost befuddled in the postgame interview. What does it take to keep this team playing at a high level?

When you figure it out, let Motzko know.
Rough weekend for you guys, certainly not the DU team I'm used to seeing.
Hopefully you can get back on track like I hope we just did.
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Drew Shore called up by Florida Panthers and will play in tonight's game in Ottawa. He will go against former Pio Patrick Wiercioch.

Perfect timing for a bye week. This team has played its best hockey off the breaks. 9-1-0 start and 4-0-1 after XMAS.

For whatever reason they don't play well on Saturday nights. Tired, out of gas, nicked up? Who knows?
 
Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

FYI, the flu hit the team midway through last week. Helps to explains some of last weekend's poor performance and lack of jump but not an excuse. The bye probably couldn't come at a better time.

Totally explains everything.

That's why when people write off a team for a bad weekend there's almost always something like this behind the scenes. It also underscores how amazing the 60 week WCHA Sweepless Streak was.

Like Michael Caine says in "Shock to the System,": "Whoa, let's not all panic - you, you, and you panic; the rest stay calm." So I'm calm, okay?

Will do sir, just heard Drew may be a scratch tonight but will be in tomorrow. We will find out in a few minutes.

Edit: Drew not listed on line-up. Wiercioch in Ottawa's line-up.
