Too bad we can't "rep" Martin. This is why people in the hockey world are the best people out there. Good to hear he's definitely got feeling in his extremities. And I can't even begin to imagine what Malone must be feeling now after that call. Forgiveness is sometimes harder for the receiver than the giver.

This is probably the most current update today. The news appears positive, but there is still a long road ahead.
Keep the faith Jesee! Our prayers are with you and your family.

One of the alums is getting a huge get well card made for Jesse that will be at the game on Friday night. The goal is to get over 2,000 signatures including both the DU and CC teams. The card will be sent to Jesse up in Minneapolis. A table is to be set up near one of the entrances so fans can sign. When the exact location is known, that info will be posted here and at LetsGoDU.

Mike Chambers is a friend of DU hockey. I don't think Chambers was making things up. He was reporting the input he received in an enviroment that changing from hour to hour. DU's release was approximately 24 hours after the event. I know that I'm not the only one searching for info well before 24 hours had expired. In this world of instant reporting you want the the informatiin NOW. I can also understand DU's reluctance to put out a release before the info was in and confirmed. Patient confidentiality is after all sacrosanct. And I'm also sure Gwoz and the staff want to be the first to relay information to the team.
This has been a trying time for us fans and I'm sure the pressure on DU's team and staff is magnified many times. The bottom line--we all want Jesse to make a full recovery.

The story should be about Jesse and his heroic outreach to Malone.
Chambers covered the unfolding story as he should have. DU and Gwoz were not able to control a story this big the way they'd like.
Focus on Jesse.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
You and Viz are both right. Everybody's been off their normal game here. And it's understandable. But Mike is doing his job. Certainly as a reporter you're not "making stuff up" if you're relying on parents for your information--they are as close to having qualified privilege as you're going to find, short of speaking directly to the doctors. Jesse has been, and will continue to be, an inspiration.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
I thought Mike Chambers did a great job of reporting, and it sounds like he had the blessing of Jesse's father to give updates. Gwoz overstepped here and should not have made those comments, especially since he obviously had no clue how Chambers got his information.

Gwoz is likely under tremendous, tremendous stress right now. He has a player lying in a Minneapolis hospital without a clear prognosis for a life-altering event. He's likely never had a player injury of this magnitude before. Additionally, he's rapidly losing player after player to injury. He's down at least 5 regulars right now out of the lineup - Martin, Murray, Jackson, Phillips and Nick Shore going into rivalry week. Add in the stress of the UND rivalry, which clearly agitates him as well, and the back story of an ongoing contract issue and he's likely seething inside. Gwoz, like most coaches, also likes to have total control of the news on his team, and this story is bigger than what he or DU can control. I think Mike Chambers took the brunt of Gwoz' frustrations unfairly.
I hope in the passage of time, Gwoz will make up with Mike.

This is the kind of attention that coaches of big time football and basketball programs have to deal with daily. George is in uncharted territory, and made a mistake. Understandable, but a mistake nonetheless.

I agree 100%. George is very smart and he's used to a very high degree of control and when you add an unprecedented level of stress to a lack of control, that's right where mistakes happen.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
As this story unfolds, with what we are all praying is generally good news, there will be plenty of opportunities for Gwoz and Chambers to co-operate and put this dustup in the rearview.

Re: All Things Denver, XXVIII
Stories like this bring out the best in the college hockey community.
It is not about who wins, who made a bad call, which coach stood on the dasher boards, whose fans are most obnoxious, or whether a reporter should wait for a formal press release.
Poster after poster has reminded us that it`s all about Jesse`s well-being.
When I travel to Denver to attend the hockey games, I`m not there to see the coach or the reporter, as much as I respect them both. I`m there to see the Martins. The Ryders. The Ruegseggers. The Testwuides. Even Mike.
One of our warriors (sorry, NCAA) has fallen. The tribe, and even neighboring nations, have called for support for this brave who brings out the best in his colleagues and adversaries.
Jesse, we know you will be back. It`s sportsmen like you that inspire others with your hard play... and in this case, your difficult recovery. We are with you every step of the way.
