I was there for all of that and it was classic. Last year DU swept CC in this early series with Friday night's game ending in the Springs with Jussi Olkinoura getting a gamer for fighting. Great stuff!!!!

We reminisced last year about the time (back in the olden days) when there was a huge fracas in the Broadmoor and some DU players went up into the stands to continue a discussion with CC fans (not a single one of whom had been over served, let me make clear). CC boycotted DU the following season which meant we had no games with the two tail end clubs (Minnesota being the other, of course).

Speaking of the Golden Phonies, in '68 the WCHA designated DU as one of two playoff sites.* That meant Minnesota had to come to Denver or forfeit. That set up one of the all time great a*skicking weekends. DU murdered the Gophers, scoring 16 goals in the two nights. When you lose the first game of a two game total goal series 9-zip, it's pretty much stick a fork in 'em time. Jimbo recalled in one of those games Minnesota's Jim Carter (a fullback on their FB team) went totally bonkers. Pulled the net up and tipped it over. Chased Tom Miller all over the ice. Tom said: "I just tapped him on the head. Don't know what his problem was." Sorry for the trip down memory lane, but man that was a great weekend.

*These playoff games were part of the 22 game winning streak that ended with a 4-0 shutout of ND in the championship game. Sure am glad DU didn't bring those guys on the ice for a curtain call last week.

The Boston Bruins beat the Florida Panthers 4-1 tonight. The Panthers are now 3-9-4. Said in other words, the Panthers have won 3 of their first 16 games. Florida plays in a highly competitive division. Frankly, I'm wondering how much longer Kevin Dineen can keep his job as the team's head coach.

CBSSPORTS says odds are 7-2 he will be fired
That's quite a jump from Panthers coach Kevin Dineen from off the board to the top of the list. But the 7-2 line was posted before the Panthers brass had a late-night meeting where Dineen's future with the team was reportedly the discussion at hand. While he wasn't fired, it sure doesn't seem like his seat is cool at the moment one bit. It would seem he's a worthy favorite.

Absolutely no surprise to me and that's why I made the post last night. By NHL's coaching standards Kevin is still a relatively young man. He'll get another shot, although he may have to work his way through the assistant coaching ranks before being a head coach again.

And making the playoffs in 2012 certainly boosts his credentials.
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

Tonight Stastny (Avs) hosts former Pios, Butler and Colborne (Calgary). Butler and Stastny played together for year, 2005-06.
And to the north the Denver 6, Ulanski, Fulghum, K. Ostrow, Ryder, Phillips and Cheverie, go for the sweep against Stockton.

Wonder if there will be an alumni meeting at Magness Saturday night.
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

Since, reportedly, it won't be this weekend....any guesses as to when we'll get a glimpse of Evan Cowley? I am really excited to see him progress at the college level. We really haven't heard any "policy" per se from Montgomery, as to his goalie beliefs..... ie rotating, one man, etc. 5 more months, and Cowley is our only hope.

Thanks. They've won 60% of their games since 1891! I will be watching the game for free tomorrow. Unlike a certain D-I hockey program we all care about. Then I rejoin you all tomorrow night looking for the sweep. And if we win in another shootout, it'll be fine by me.:D

You know, Dr. Demento's a psychiatrist. Maybe we should ask him what he makes of a troll whose first instinct after DU comes from behind on the road to beat our hated rival in a shootout is to bust my b*lls because I don't much like shootouts. Everybody's got priorities. Even trolls. And in his case it appears busting my b*lls comes first. I wonder if he realizes how sad we all think he is?

Agreed. Any way to beat CC is a good way.

And though I don't like the shootout either (at in college, because each game is worth too much to leave it to a statistical crapshoot), the NCHC is thankfully keeping each game a 3 point game, to avoid the point inflation that the NHL sees because of points for overtime losses and shootout wins.
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

These shootouts are purely for the fans....which, I applaud, considering it's the antiquated NCAA. As far as scoring, Denver needs to have Defensemen on the power plays. Sit the forwards.......and this needs to become effective immediately, until the forwards get thier aggressiveness back.
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

Huge game for DU tonight. A win gets them back in the thick of things.
 
Re: All Things Denver XXXVI

I think Larraza is back near 100% now, he looked good this weekend. Like somebody who should be wearing a C. I also thought Moore and VanVoorhis played well most of the weekend, and the unfortunate penalty aside, Romig had a decent debut.

It will be interesting to see how the team shows up next weekend. Western is a decent team but without the name recognition of CC, North Dakota, Wisconsin, etc.. Just the kind of dangerous situation that's always worried me with DU teams and fans. They lost tonight to Northern, so they'll be hungry, too.
