Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
Only 42 players in history with 500 or more goals, Glenn is at #43 all time. The Great One by far leads with 894 goals, 93 more than Gordie Howe at #2 and 153 more than Brett Hull at #3. Only 3 active players with 500 or more goals: Jagr and Selanne at #'s11 and 12 and Iginla at #35. No other current players are within 50 of 500. Maybe Glenn should suit up for one more game to get #500.
Single game tickets for the 2012-13 Denver Pioneer hockey team go on sale Saturday, Sept. 8 at 9 a.m. MT

Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
Jason's gonna have some serious adjustments to make: both weather and traffic like Bangkok.

Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
Here's something new for y'all....I was just informed, by a certain WCHA Linesman who I happen to know... that the NCAA is going to a no goal judge system this year, just like the NHL does. This allows the schools to put 2 or 3 seats back there and sell them.... behind the goalies. It also puts all the trust, and blame, on the video review..... which DU has had difficulty with in the past. All the goal judge does is turn on the red light in the arena for the fans; remember all the stink a couple years ago at the buzzer, when UW was here? Holy crap what a PR nightmare. The on-ice referees run that **** from zero to 60, just like in the AHL. When the zebra points... a goal scored. What part of that don't people understand?

Re: All Things Denver XXXIII
I believe it is optional to have an actual goal judge starting this year and, yes, DU will not be having them. Apparently, the "goal judges" will sit in the press box with buttons to turn on the lights from now on. DU had many issues with the replay system last year, so we'll see how this one turns out in the long run...

100-105 degrees 10% humidity feels like 94.8-99.6 (Vegas weather)
95-100 degrees 80-90% humidity feels like 133.9-146.6 (Houston weather)
(Of course this came from a Vegas tourism site
)
It's not the heat; it's the humidity that gets you.

In Houston, you'll commonly hear people say: "We've got two seasons, summer and July and August." For about three months, before the sun comes up, the relative humidity is at 100% (sometimes a little less). No rain. Just air that's totally saturated. 'Course, when the sun does come up, the humidity plummets to around 85%. Women, especially, love it. Get all dressed up. Hair just perfect. But in the walk to the car, with the AC already running, their hair winds up looking like an ad for "friz city."
I spent over a decade in Houston. And the rule of thumb I applied for travel time was 1 hour. It'll take 1 hour to get where I'm going. I have seen the worst, scariest traffic shiza of my life in Houston. I came within about two seconds of being killed one morning on the way to the station. As I overtook and passed a tractor-trailor rig on a nearly deserted freeway, his spare tire slid out from under the rig and bounced on the highway. I doubt I would have survived slamming in to a big tire, bouncing at windshield height, on a rim, at highway speeds. Just plain luck I had changed lanes to pull around him.
There was an infamous accident involving a cement truck that wound up killing several people. Based on the time he had clocked out of his yard, the investigation revealed the guy had to have been going 80 to get to the accident location when he did. In town! Any listing of congested American cities always has Houston right up there with LA, NY and Chicago.
