Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
Ty Loney may be the guy to come on hot. And he's so cute with his rosy cheeks.
With Drew gone, Nick may come into his own this year. Last year he seemed "snakebit" when it came to scoring goals. We will need him to be a top line center.
Now if Shawn Ostrow and Chris Knolton can ramp up their game like they did last year, they could bring a nice scoring punch.
(Freshman Dakota Mermis may be the scoring D-man ala LaLeggia. Californian Gabe Levin (who of course will wear #9) played in the NAHL, but as I recall was a scoring machine. He's 5'8" so he must be fast or "slick" like Luke Salazar. Now if Levin can live up to previous #9s-Gauthier, Rakhshani, Beau Bennett-could live with that or maybe just be another Goal Czar without the sopohomore slump.
And Shore the Third played well in the U18 World Championships.
Can't forget Nolan Zajac he had 39- points from the blueline and he does have a good pedigree
Forwards Allen and Arnold--don't really know much about them.
3 top notch goalies? In Denver?OK, so I'm being a wiseguy. I guess have concerns about one of them being considered top notch.
Over the past couple years, I'm really starting to enjoy seeing the Sophomores turn the corner and become bonafide producers. It's more prevalent when there's a big-name Senior who graduates and moves on.... it's like these kids coming back for their 2nd year have almost been given sub-concious permission to come out of their shells and start throwing their weight around, whereas in their Freshman year, they maybe were timid, and were intimidated by the upper classmen and learning all about the college game. So I say...... keep your eyes on Doremus, Mayfield, LaLeggia...... I think those 3 are going to explode.

oops, I mean.... debate... is on the 3rd. Barack, Mit and thier respective Secret Service entourages will be long gone from Colorado by the 6th. I would say the issue is, getting the media crap out of the building and then getting the place back into hockey config in 3 days is the real issue at hand. They're taking out the dashers, glass, benches. I thought the ice was being removed too...... so that 'splains why the place can't possibly be hockey-ready by Oct 6.
