Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
As a guy with considerable experience with "package deals," I'm flashing on the scene from "Animal House" where Mandy Pepperidge, or another of the mindless bimbos, refers to "Flounder" and "Pony" as "the wimp and the blimp."

Rakhshani with a couple of "twitvids" at the Isles rookie camp. They play the Bruins rookies tonight in Boston.

Tonight's game will be a live stream.

Wiercioch on the roster for Ottawa's Training Camp. If Cowen, age 19, doesn't make it, he goes back to the WHL. Patrick and BU's Gryba would go to Binghamton.
If you haven't checked out Patrick's rookie camp blog, you should.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
The NCAA also allows players who graduate in three years to attend grad school at another institution without sitting out a year. The DU Ski Team has utilized this rule with positive results.
The reason why these "package deals" seem to be happening all of a sudden is that around four years ago or so the NCAA changed some rules that allowed players that were exceptional students to receive academic scholarships. Couple that with financial aid and its possible to bring in less talented siblings.

Close that window--it just got very cold in here.
Colborne has a cut lip, broken nose and chipped tooth.
You go into the NHL looking like a movie star and you retire looking like Jim Wiste.

Islanders-Bruins being streamed on both Isles and Bruins site. Rakhshani on the 1st line again tonite for the Isles.
1-0 Isles. Just went on the PP.
Shot by Rakhshani that caused a scrimmage. "rakhshani got a right hand in there"
2nd PP for Isles end of the 1st. Rakhshani and the Isles look much better today.
1-1 end of 2nd
Isles lose D-man Hamonic for 2nd fight in 2 games. Down to 17 skaters. Rakh getting lots of ice time.
(Caps rookies edged Flyers. Little Mikey Testwuide had an assist.)
3rd period
Bruins seem to have the edge
1-1 7 min left
Chippiness starting
Attendance 14000+
OT coming up
Bruins win 2-1 38 sec to go
Rakh had a lot of ice time and a few good shots, but didn't make the score sheet.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
What is a worry is that in a weakened WCHA, DU can't really afford to have the highest paid coach in college hockey.
So yes there is a very real chance that he will leave, but I don't see Penn State as the exit strategy.
Penn State isn't a good fit for him. Its too much work to start a program and build the recruiting base.Oh my God I was just going to say this!!

By the time the sky falls on the WCHA, a retired Gwoz will be dancing on thatched roof bar on the beach in the bahamas, wearing the most god awful looking pair of striped bermuda shorts anyone has ever seen.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
Everyone fears or at least worries about the unknown. I'll admit it, I'm worried. But I'm not afraid, yet. One thing that could make me very, very fearful is to lose Gwoz. If that were to happen, there's no way to put a pretty face on it. Sort of like keeping hockey at DI while dropping everything else to DII. Stalingrad. Whatever it takes, robbing banks, bake sales, whatever.
I didn't want g.d. Penn State in the Big 10 in the first place! Now look at the heartburn they're gonna cause in hockey.
