Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

9 News piece on the mascot, and the first time I've heard it mentioned what scores the proposed mascots got. I still kinda like the mountaineer, and am surprised that it didn't trounce the stupid elk idea's butt. Apparently, the jackalope polled dismally.

Does this mean fans who show up at Magness this season wearing or carrying Boone gear won't be denied admission? Or won't be cuffed and stuffed? Or won't have the gear confiscated? And will Boone himself be allowed in the building? Stay tuned for the next exciting chapter of "DU shoots itself in the a*s."

Gwoz will do well wherever he coaches, something that dingbat Peg didn't understand.

The guy made a believer out of me with the "Dora incident." And he's left Monty a lofty record to aim for. He'll do well wherever he goes. Gwoz is a class act and the whole hockey world knows it.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

And to be on the bench of an NHL team is a logical step up for him, that probably pays well, too.

We Sioux fans know the logical step up for Gwoz will always be the dasher, not the bench.

The other thing you know is to check the police report in the paper every morning to see what your sweeties have been up to.

Interesting interview with Gwoz:

Good luck Gwoz wish he was in college hockey.

Shootout in the NCHC

Lame lame lame. Hockey is a team sport. A tie is a tie. If two teams play up to (or down to) each other to tie, I'm happy. Some of the best games I have seen were 1-1 ties.

Like when they instituted the shootout in the NHL, I will never, ever, stay to watch. It will go down as a tie in my book. I'll be glad to get to my car first. Last NHL season I watched my first shootout on TV only because my two year old son did not want me to change the channel. That is the only hockey shootout I have watched.

Lame.

Know that in the past DU and Gwoz never liked the shoot out for the reasons CoHockey mentioned.
Guessing Pigozzi made the change after being deferred for a year and a new coach in Denver.
The times they are changing.

A knowledgeable poster on another forum I follow said: Pigozzi is one of a couple committed players that Monty "decommitted" when he took the job.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

I think the shootouts will be good for the league., and us fans will love it. One thing I do suggest, is that they specify NO video review allowed during shootouts. Too much bs can come from it. Put the accountability on the ref, no matter what happens, evnen when the tv broadcast disagrees with the call. What ref says goes, period. Only for shootouts though.

Fans may think they will love it, but the way the standings/points are structured, we are in for a decline in late game or overtime heroics. Games with an even score late in the game will see the teams playing cautiously since there is more to gain by reaching the shootout, i.e. a guaranteed point and a 50-50 chance for a second.
If the league really has to have shootouts, then teams that win non-shootout games should earn three standings points. Then there would be something to gain by attacking hard late in a tie game. And all games would be weighted the same in the standings: 3 total points for every scheduled game.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

Just curious if any east coast DU fans are intending to go to Troy in December to watch DU play RPI. I was thinking about it until the USCHO-RPI posters picked another weekend to meet, and I don't want to miss two weekends of classes. It sounded attractive since RPI is also playing the U18 on the Sunday after the two games vs. DU.

I will definitely go up for both games. Ed from NJ also going.

The NHL takes a look at the Florida Panthers

Shore could be the long-term No. 3 center but might make sense on the wing until some of the other young players arrive

(Don't think I've ever seen Drew play on the wing.)
