Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Should be a classic--The Final Final Five.
That's super, duper. (Sorry, just couldn't help myself. Sure you never heard that before.)

Mike Chambers reporting Larkin Jacobson is suspended indefinitely. That doesn't sound good.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

So I'm pretty excited. I have bought a plane ticket to Minneapolis/St. Paul, and booked a hotel room and a car for the weekend of the Final 5. All I need now is some hockey tickets.

Pretty easy to get Final5 tickets through DU.

The Xcel has the best standing room areas in the US. So even if you don't like your tickets, you can move around pretty easily.

The Colorado College is 15-9-4 all time while playing DU (or is it Metro State?) at World Arena North on the campus of the pios (or is it boone......or roadrunners?).

Go CC Tigers!!

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Just a brief interruption of the annual CC snark fest (what do those people do the rest of the year?) to announce that my great nephew has been named honorable mention all-state offensive tackle. He's a sophomore. Not even 16 yet. But, is 6'4" 245.

Now back to your regularly scheduled CC wit and wisdom. Longest running show in college hockey. Providing laughs and giggles since 1957.

Awesome! Please send him to play his college ball at The University of Washington!!

I can't recall another indefinite suspension during the Gwoz era? Can anyone else? I don't like the sound of it either. Sounds like he could have responded badly to initial discipline and is being set down 'till he improves his attitude. He was DU's scholar-athlete last year. Good study habits and a big body--we can't ever have too much of either. Sure hopes this resolves itself soon, with him back on the ice.

Tom May had a pretty good suspension that lasted until Christmas one season.

Daniel Olszewski never played again after the incident in Madison last year.

I'm sure there have been others. Its only takes a couple of minutes to get into Gwoz's Doghouse, it can take a lifetime to get out.

I knew you'd know. But we've got a coach who beleives rules are made to be followed. Period. And that's something to be proud of. You just hate to see a kid blow it over something stupid.

I'd comepletely forgotten about Olszewski, what's the 411 on him?

He's no longer on DU's Hockey Roster, but there's an chance he's still at DU. He's still listed as a student on an online roster. Guys like Zucker & Drew Shore aren't on the list I checked.

Olszewski was by all reports a brilliant student and his father is currently a professor at the University of Wisconsin with degrees from Harvard.

D'Animal is currently playing Division 3 hockey for Univ. Of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Roster shows him as a transfer from DU. With 6 games in he has 5 points. The BluGolds are currently 6-0-0.

15 years old, 6'4", 245 lbs. downright scary. And probably still growing.
Congrats to him.
Too bad DU doesn't field a football team. But he might make a good D-Man. Wouldn't have to skate much just menace anyone who came near the goal.

To my knowledge, he's never been on skates. But he'd be an intimidator no doubt. He can bench press just a little shy of 300. Old Pio Annecdote Alert: for many years the Blakhawks paired Elmer "moose" Vasko and Pierre Pilote on defense. One was the biggest, the other the smallest d-man in the league at the time.

But what'd he do?

It started with an incident in a Madison watering hole.

Ah. I'm reminded of the Saturday Night Massacre, when a Boston bus boy got his signals crossed and made a pass at a DU player during an alumni event at a hotel. According to the survivors, it wasn't pretty.

Do we know what DirecTV channel tonight's game is on?

Found it: Channel 681.
