It would appear as though our defense is in great shape, seems like we have plenty of fire powere on offense, but what about in net? :eek: That is the question!!!

I am not yet convinced this DU team will have very much firepower. I expect DU to be about a 3.0 GPG team, which is an average offense at best. Where DU is going to be successful is at the defensive end of the ice, where the team is going to need to win 3-2 and 2-1 games to have a chance, and that's where goaltending and defense are going to need to be top notch.

The Pios defense is probably going to be very good and should keep teams under 25 or 30 shots per game. Thus, if Murray or Brittian can be a .920 svs pct goaltender or higher, DU will be very much a contender.

If the goaltending is .900-920, DU will likely be mid pack and a stuggle to be a playoff team.

If the goaltending is under .900, it's going to be a very long year.

This weekend's exhibition game are being video and audiocast on Pioneer Vision for a fee at www.denverpioneers.com. The US U-18 exhibition starts at 7:07 PM MT on Saturday and the Lethbridge exhibition starts at 6:07 PM MT on Sunday. I believe you can get a 20% discount on the annual fee if you sign up soon. The DU schedule as of right now is not showing the games on the radio on 87.7 The Ticket.

Just renewed my subscription.
Another year of Jay Stickney on the schedule.:D DU plays the last game at the DECC so this will be the last year of the "small ice." But I'm sure we will hear "the most dangerous lead" and the "Big Sheet" :p
 
Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

Know the Isles are still playing a split team, but..Rakhshani has moved from the 4th to the 2nd line. Playing with 2 first round picks Bailey and Schremp.
Keep it up Rhett!

Wiercioch still in the hunt for a spot with Ottawa.

Don't forget your safety net, on those occasions when you're "flying solo." :D

Sounds like a good idea. Although to be candid, I'm not sure if the kind of "flying solo" Jay's referring to requires a net.

DG beat me to it :D

IT IS GAME DAY

GO DU!!!!!

Preview of the weekend from the DU website. Games are only being webcast (audio and video) on Pioneer Vision for a fee, no radio or TV. Mitch Hyder doing the broadcasts.


Rock getting a chance to make Isles. He played on one of the top lines last night against the Devils in a 4-3 loss and will do so again today. He was even for the game with no points and 4 shots, 2nd highest on the team. One of the Isle's forwards, Schremp, got injured last nigh opening up the door a little more. Here is an article Mike Botta posted on his Islanders Point Blank blog about Rock yesterday before the Devils game.

Rakh has turned heads with his speed and skills. Nice article. Listened to WFAN for awhile last night and the announcers gave him a nice plug.

Tonight we get a chance to see part of DU's future as Matt Van Voorhiis and Zac Larraza play for the NTDP.
 
Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

Its a family thing...Becca Ruegsegger posted a shutout for UW in a 7-0 victory over RPI.
 
Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

Luke Fulghum and the Belfast Giant Selects tied 0-0 with the Boston Bruins in the 2nd.

Oops 3-1 Bruins end of the 2nd

Luke should be able to catch the DU game tonight.:)
 
Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII

According to Mike Chambers of the Denver Post, only 12 DU games will be broadcast on FSN RM this season. This is down from from 18 last season.

Maybe Pioneer Vision can pick up a few more games. They have nothing scheduled past NoDak games in Oct.

DU's schedule is quite front-loaded at home this year, which hurts TV possibilities during football season, as FSN is not going to give up college football.
