DU's Mount Rushmore up on the polls section.
I already voted so I can't vote for other. but I did have a few more thoughts.

Craig Patrick-2 time NCAA Champion, 2 time USA National team, Asst. Coach 1980 Miracle on Ice team. Stanley Cup winning GM. Part of hockey's royal family. Hockey Hall of Fame.
Jim Wiste-All American, NCAA Champion, AND owner of the Campus Lounge
Cliff Koroll-Team Captain, NCAA Champion, Successful NHL career with Chicago Blackhawks and by all reports one of Maggie's best friends.
Adam Berkhoel- backstopped DU to 1st Ncaa Championship in 35 years including the infamous last 2 minutes of 3 on 6.
Peter Mannino-NCAA Champion, 4 year goalie and ardent supporter of Denver Boone.
Jesse Martin-whose amazing recovery from a potentially fatal injury brought the DU/NCAA hockey community proud of an amazing young man. And remember he went on to graduate that same year.
Peter McNab- who was one of DU's first non-Canadian stars.
Wade "Dubie" Dubielwiscz-who should have won a NCAA Championship/ #1 seed forced to play at Yost
Connor James-who came back from a broken leg to play/win an NCAA Championship in 6 weeks.
Rhett Rakhshani-Team Captain, All American, who single handedly beat ST. Cloud State by scoring 3 goals in the last 6 minutes of the game--a "Rhett trick" is now part of the DU hockey vernacular. Linemate Tyler Ruegsegger, RnR, made one of the most unpronouncable twosomes in WCHA history. But wasn't it fun to listen to the announcers attempting it.
Glenn Anderson
-best known after DU--Team Canada, multiple Stanley Cups, Hockey Hall of Fame
The 1978 team which was obviously SCREWED by the NCAA

Great list but Murray Armstrong, Keith Magnuson, Bill Masterton and Matt Carle are my 4. BTW, Peter McNab is Canadian. He was born in Vancouver and spent his youth in BC. He went to HS in San Diego when his father ran the S.D. Gulls.

They are my Top 4 too.

Think I knew McNab was born in Canada, but I always thought of him as a American:o

I was going to add Vic Venasky, just because I liked his name.:D

Quick question since BU is visiting you guys this year:

What section of your rink is the away section?
Click to expand...

Sections 6 and 7 are generally where the visiting fans are located, sometimes section 5 as well if there are quite a few. It's the north end of the arena and in the higher numbered rows, from about row 15 or 16 on up.

Zucker with the 1st goal in the Wild scrimmage.
Not quite as exciting as the Stanley Cup finals.:p

Not much to argue here...however:

Connor James was a fine player who contributed a nice, blind, throw-it-towards-the-net assist in a championship game in the first period, yet he fails in overall comparison to a Dallas Gaume, who was a first team AA, first team WCHA, WCHA player of the year, Hobey finalist and (by far) DU's all-time leading scorer. Some may argue that Gaume didn't win an NCAA championship; I don't view players' careers in what their teammates did not help them accomplish, I view it like being voted into, say, the baseball hall of fame, where it is a totality of your career and not a single accomplishment...

I also agree with bagman...Kevin Dineen is worthy of being in the mix...captain at DU as a sophomore, captained two NHL teams, an Olympian and is an NHL head coach...multiple NHL all-star games, approached 400 goals and most likely played more NHL games than anyone else from DU.

You can't omit Dubie's cameo in the 2005 film She's Out of Your League. May tip the scales. Just sayin'

North Denver and Italian food--many yummy memories.

And canolis for dessert!

D*mn! Nobody told me about this place or I would have gone. In my DU days, we had lots of steaks at Mr. G's (usually on Mondays before chapter meetings), roast prime rib in the back room at Andy's Smorgasbord and the occasional high dollar meal at Trader Vic's.

I also miss the coffee shop at Writer's Manor, the only place I've ever encountered that had fried corn meal mush on the menu. With butter and maple syrup, yum.

Mr. G's. Trader Vic's, Writer's Manor (Excluding the gourmet fried corn meal mush) are all in my book of memories.

Learned more about North Denver after I graduated and was working in Denver. Seems one of my co-workers was quite friendly with some members of one of the North Denver "families." As I recall the loan officers had to overlook long periods of unemployment.;)

It's nice to have "friends." Fried mush was my mother's "snowy morning" special treat. Crunchy on the outside. Moist on the inside. In the past I've seen prepackaged mush in some grocery stores, ready to be sliced and fried. But not lately.

A fraternity brother whose dad was a cattleman introduced me to this place. Very little ambiance. But the joint was full of cattlemen who were in town for the National Western. Best steak I ever had.

While i was checking to see if the word gullible is really in the dictionary, i went out to IMDB and found a movie called "Sheezh Outta My League" from 2010. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815236/
Is that the one? IMDB lists some "hockey players", but not Dubbie.

And i still have Gwoz on my list...

Thats' the film, sorry I had the wrong year. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815236/

He may not be credited but he's in there, not pulling your leg.

Good Lord, has it really come to this?? Will we ever see DU play again? This is the longest off season I can remember.

I'm struggling here!!

Wrong restaurant. The wiki even references Gaetano's rather than Pagliacci's. :rolleyes:
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXIII

And Gaetano's is currently closed as well..."for renovations"...Hopefully that place isn't done.

EDIT: I guess it is supposed to be back sometime in September.

Well, at least we're not talking about Rockybilt, which I always thought was a WMD.
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXIII

These days Cafe Jordano in Lakewood is a pretty respectable spot for Italian.
