Re: All Things Denver XXXII
One thing I've noticed is a lack of scoring in the 3rd period. Last year we outscored the enemy 66 to 32 in the 3rd. This year 12 to 11 so far. As Jimmy V said,"You can't give up." As du78 said, you have to play a full 60 minutes.
(Emphasis added)If this team is going to make any noise this season, they need to run off 10 to 12 wins by the end of January, starting this weekend. This is completely doable given that they play only 1 ranked team through the end of January. They need to start dominating games and giving 60 minute efforts with positive results. They need a goalie to step up and steal a game. Sam probably would have stolen 2 or 3 games already had he been healthy. No knock on Adam or Jussi, but neither has stolen a game for DU this season. They have played well but not spectacular. With the talent on this team, it should not be sitting in the middle of the league standings or on the outside of the PWR looking in. They already have 5 losses and 3 ties. Back in my day we only had 6 losses in 40 games all season and only 1 tie with 5 OT wins. The boys came to play every night no matter who the opponent was. They never played down to the skill level of an opponent and dictated the pace of the game from the get go. It is time for DU to start running some teams out of buildings. Now lets go out and get 4 points this weekend and 4 more next!
I wish the entire team had Jay Z's fervor, he posted this earlier today:
Looks like Wade Bennett is on the trip. he posted this today and looks like he is raring to get in a game.
FWIW, Swami is not coming back.
