Re: All Things Denver XXX
Yeah, somebody in this equation has multiple NC's, league titles, playoff titles, NCAA tournament appearances and Frozen Four appearances and it ain't UNO. Maybe it's DU that should be offended at the prospect of this program that hasn't accomplished much being called a rival.

Re: All Things Denver XXX
It's been a lot of fun this year as each series we learn about programs that (outside of Mankato) we didn't have a lot of history with. A lot of the posts about UNO have been spot on, and this should be an excellent series. Last year DU pasted UNO, and if I recall, they got out fast and kept the gas on. Faulkner has been a big story this year, its the first year in many that UNO has had a true # 1 goaltender from the start of the season. The scoring is quite balanced, goals can come from any of the lines. For the visitors, keep an eye on the all freshman line of Raubenheimer, Monpetit, and Walters. They're high energy, don't mind doing the dirty work, and all 3 can score. If you're travelling in, please feel free to ask for suggestions as far as eats and drinks. We'll do our best to show you the better ones around!

Our little, underachieving buddies, are in a different category.
CC hasn't won much either

Fight for UNO!
Re: All Things Denver XXX
I think this could develop into a great rivalry simply put as Nebraska vs Colorado. That always seems to get both sides fired up regardless of the schools. Going to be a great weekend of hockey!

Re: All Things Denver XXX
I have already been doing my homework in the UNO thread! :d I can't wait. I will be bring my girlfriend and parents up for the Friday night game. Possible for Saturday...but it is a 3 hour drive from Topeka to Omaha. I can't wait to drink beer with as many Omaha fans as I possibly can.
I have a feeling this series will be a split.

Re: All Things Denver XXX
DU has to come out with a jump in their step. I'm guessing that UNO might be a little fatigued after their trip to Anchorage.
DU has given up the first goal in the game seven consecutive times. That can't happen on Friday. Get the lead on the road, settle down and wait for UNO to make mistakes or draw penalties. That's my gameplan. Let's hope they execute.

When are you using your timeout?

DU edges Nebraska in front of a sellout crowd!
Oh, that was last weekend when the gymnasts took a win from the #10 Huskers.

Re: All Things Denver XXX
While up in Minnesota at the Alumni lunch, Gwozdecky gave a nice speech and then took questions. I asked Gwozdecky why he doesn't call timeouts earlier in games when DU is off to bad starts like in the CC game.
He said that there are so many timeouts during the games for TV and the like that its not neccessary to use them early. He went on to say that he doesn't specifically save them, but its not like basketball.
Later that night, DU falls behind 3-0 to Minnesota and he called a timeout 12 minutes into the game. All the alums and students who were at the lunch are high-fiving me.
So every time he calls an early timeout, I guess its his way of saying he likes the Blog.

Re: All Things Denver XXX
I'd also love to see early jump from the Pios, but that's been very, hard for this team to manufacture
Perhaps they need Jesse Martin to lead them out on the ice. Every time he's come on the ice since his injury (2 times), DU's won the game...

I'm all for that. The DU ticket office has told me that my tickets are behind the DU bench. I can live with that!

Re: All Things Denver XXX
I once took my wife and my parents to a DU-UND game, and we sat right behind the benches. Needless to say, my wife and parents were none to pleased at every shift change, and the smell of sweaty hockey equipment.
From now on, my wife makes sure that we are nowhere near the benches when we go to games.

They get the full experience of the game. I'll tell me parents, they're so close to the action...they can smell it!

It's definitely an experience that we'll never forget. You get used to it after about the first 5 minutes of each period...especially if the game is intense.
