I'm pretty sure the replay system only worked for the exhibition games and maybe the first home regular season game, but has been pretty much out of service this season. The goal judges are currently to be used by the refs for questions involving players in the crease, kicking the puck in, the net being dislodged, etc...hopefully, with about a month until another home game, it gets straightened out by the end of December. It's pretty lame that games at Magness haven't had use of replay for most of the season, at least there hasn't been anything too controversial so far.

It's not just Stickney. Nate Kreckman on 102.3 is another TMDLICH guy.

From better late than never: Rakhshani got his first goal of the year (only his 4th game) against Manchester. Patrick Mullen didn't score but was +1.

Good story on DU hockey.

Steve Miller press conference from yesterday. He takes you through Jussi's late recruiting to play goal, a good watch and listen.

Man! I wish DU would get their media asses in gear and move their stuff to a utube page. I can't watch any of their Pio Vison stuff without it cutting out every 20 seconds.

Erik is charging a subscription to the WCHA and they are in default so he shut them down. :rolleyes:

#14 for DU's 1967-68 NCAA Championship team in Top 25 teams of the NCAA era. Knew FS23 would start finding the best.:)
"http://collegehockeyweekly.com/1967-1968-Denver-Pioneers.html

From the DU Atletics Hall of Fame induction:
1967-68 Hockey Team
The 1967-68 DU hockey team solidified itself as one of the greatest teams in school history by culminating a school-record 22 consecutive wins with a 4-0 win over North Dakota in the 1968 NCAA National Championship game. The 1967-68 powerhouse posted a 28-5-1 overall record under the leadership of co-captains Jim Wiste and Cliff Koroll. The Pioneers captured the WCHA regular season championship, WCHA playoff championship and NCAA National Championship in the same season. Head coach Murray Armstrong earned WCHA Coach of the Year accolades and defenseman Keith Magnuson was the league's most valuable player. Magnuson and Wiste earned All-America honors as DU rode the outstanding goaltending of Gerry Powers to its fourth NCAA National Championship. Powers set a school record with seven shutouts, including a 17-save effort in the final against the Fighting Sioux that clinched Frozen Four Most Outstanding Player honors. The Pioneers outscored their opponents, 183-65, and their 1.91 goals against average ranks second in DU single-season history. Other members of the NCAA National Championship team included: Rich Blanche, Frank Daly, Al Genovy, Tom Gilmore, Tim Gould, Ed Hamilton, Gerry Jonasson, Terry Leifson, Tom Miller, Craig Patrick, Jim Shires, Don Thiessen, Bob Trembecky, Randy Ward, Dale Zeman, assistant coach Harry Ottenbreit, trainer Gene Bradshaw and manager Tom Sampson.

The winning streak started after losing to the Soviets in the Broadmoor. Undefeated at home. The Miller line, with Jim Shires on left wing and Cliff Koroll on right, started every game. They had some eye popping plus/minus numbers. Koroll had a couple of hundred NHL goals, never made first team all WCHA. Maggie would surely have won the Hobey if it existed. He was on the cover of the FF program. Played NoDak in the NC game. Sioux en fuego in the first, but Gerry Powers kept 'em off the board. Second period pretty even. No scoring. DU scores 4 in the third and wins it 4-0. They should be given serious consideration to ranking only behind '60-'61.

Quick question for you Old Pio. Was fighting in college hockey always an automatic disqualification with the plus 1 game for each fight in the season in the 1950 s and 60s or was it changed to that at some point before the 1970s? It seems to me that guys like Maggie dropped the gloves a number of times but you really hurt your team every time they actually tag you for fighting and not calling it roughing. I can't seem to find anywhere if at one time in college hockey it was just a major like it is in the NHL or a less stringent penalty than the DQ plus 1 and more.

Funny, I don't recall exactly. I knoow it was the less stringent penalty than the"DQ plus one and more". That came later. Frankly, I don't remember much fighting at all. Especially with Maggie. You'd have to have a head full of rocks in those days to go up against the red head. My belief, based on failing memories, is that it was usually roughing, with a potential 5 minute major. Maggie's fighting in the NHL was a departure from his college play in large part. Also, as I'm sure you know, there was no checking in the offensive zone. Thus, when Shires, Miller and Koroll threw that blanket over the opposition for an entire season, it was an even greater accomplishment. Coming down the stretch, in the final 14 regular season games, they scored 33 goals and gave up TWO!

Paraphrasing Durante: "CC sucks, wherever you are, Dubbie."

Just checked with Wikipedia, and it says Koroll was all WCHA in '68. Maybe he didn't make first team WCHA. Anyway, I'll take their word for it. For sure, he never made All America and still scored 208 NHL goals.

It was Tom Miller who "tapped" that big Minnesota ape Jim Carter "gently on the head" that touched off what Jimbo referred to as the "gong show" in the Arena that had Carter chasing Tom all over the ice. Picking up and throwing the nets and generally making an azz of himself. Delightful. One of my most treasured memories. That and the lop sided Sanduskying of the Gophers.

Anybody know Bob Peers? Remember the DU victim/instigator of the famous brawl with cc? He should know if there was a DQ for fighting.:D


A characteristic that is synonymous with DU hockey is the fierce rivalry with Colorado College. While many fascinating stories have emerged over the years between the two programs, one game that took place at the Broadmoor in February 1966 may go down as perhaps the most symbolic of this long-standing rivalry. And one of the players at the center of it all was Bob Peers.

“Badger” Bob Johnson was the first or second year coach at Colorado College at the time. This was a league game that took place before the playoffs. At the end of the second period of this game, there was an incident between myself and another (CC) player named Davey Palm. It broiled into one of those brouhahas and the I-did-you-did sort of thing, so I ended up getting a penalty and he didn’t. Really, it’s hard to explain but it makes you more mad because it should’ve been both of us off, but instead one guy gets penalized and the other doesn’t. I felt that he was laughing at me. Of course everything is subjective. So at the end of the period, I skated over and drilled him and he fell to the ice. I pummeled him and everything and then the crowd went crazy. They brought out the fire hoses and pushed people back into their seats, but we finished the game. This incident happened at the end of the second period, so there was still a period to play. They didn’t know what to do. They finally restored order and Jim Eagle was throwing buckets of water up into the stands. So it was one of those things where it was almost out of control at that time. So I got a game misconduct. At that time, usually when you get one of those, you go to the dressing room, shower and go back out into the stands. So the team was going out to start the third and Murray hung back and he said to me “Bob, you know what? I think it would be best if you just kind of stayed in here for the whole period.” (Laughs) So I said ok.

This is the brawl that caused the brave Tigers (nearly permanent residents of the basement) to take DU off the schedule. Of course, this may have been the worst fight in DU history. A game DQ for instigating a riot (with no subsequent DQ) seems pretty tame by today's standards. Fire hoses? Buckets of water? Those were the days.
