Adam Murray had a very good game for DU tonight in Anchorage. Hopefully, he does the same tomorrow.

It was a solid,workmanlike win, and not as close as the final score.

Sorry guys, I couldn't make it last night. Woke up and went straight to post #45 and flipped through the game, phew!! What's with all the clanking of the posts? :eek: Anyway, way to go Murray, way to go DU, way to go UMD, all is right in the world. If we can get the win tonight Chevrie's injury becomes less and less disastrous!!

Oh and thanks for clarifying the DU club hockey thing, I really thought I had woken up from a coma there for a while:eek:
 
Re: All Things DU XXV - Murray Up and Get The Chevy Out of The Repair Shop

Murray was up and now if the offense steps up, it should be a great game and a DU victory tonioght.
 
Re: All Things DU XXV - Murray Up and Get The Chevy Out of The Repair Shop

DU has struggled on 3 of the 4 Saturday night games this year - Lost vs UVM, Lost vs OSU, Beat Minnesota and tied MSUM. Gwoz needs his Saturday adjustments to be better than the oppositions' adjustments, Murray needs to put a solid weekend together, and every forward needs to step up and play as well as Kyle Ostrow tends to play on Saturdays.

This upcoming bye week comes at a good time, and it would be great to see DU take care of business tonight. I think this offense has yet to play the kind of 60 minute game that they are capable of playing...

How very, very true.
Seawolves won't be giving the game to DU tonight. The Pioneers have to step it up. Determination, grit, toughness, execution...the boys need to put it all together for a Saturday night win.

The score was indicative! UAA should have won.
 
Re: All Things DU XXV - Murray Up and Get The Chevy Out of The Repair Shop

Geez, I wonder if UAA will respect us in the morning.

No doubt. UAA won this game. No excuses from us DU fans. The only thing that's getting WAY annoying to me is the constant whining from UAA fans about the refs. Yes, the refs suck. No, the refs rarely decide the outcome of the game. The funny thing was from UAA fans on the scoring thread was that before UAA dominated the game, the refs were a problem. Once UAA had the game comfortably in hand, the whining pretty much stopped -- sans UAA fans defending the hack LaFranchise. UAA fans lead all fan bases in ref whining. I'm REALLY getting sick of that crap.

Somewhere along the line I missed a point--so just to keep it straight:
Tyler Ruegsegger--92 career points and counting.
 
Re: All Things DU XXV - Murray Up and Get The Chevy Out of The Repair Shop

Saturday night struggles for the Pios continue, and if DU can't figure out how to put out a consistent 60-minute effort on Saturdays as well as Fridays, this season is going to be hugely disappointing. That said, UAA hadn't beaten DU at home in nine years, and they were overdue, but I would have like to see a better performance by Denver, who flat out imploded in the second 30 minutes of last nights game.

Where do we begin?

Offense: This was supposed to be DU's strength this year, and what we see is a very average 3 goal per game offense that is having power play problems. The depth of scoring (this should be a 4 to 4.5 GPG offense) simply isn't there. Salazar and Maiani have fallen off drastically from last year, and three scoring lines simply hasn't materialized. DU is going to need to score more goals - simple as that. "Finishing around the net" is going to need to improve, or this team will just not make it.

Defense and goaltending: The defense is not as consistent as it should be, and the musical shifting lineup needs to stop. Gwoz should decide who his top six guys are and let them get cohesive. Personally, I think Brookwell and Ryder need to be in the lineup for experience and for physical maturity. Donovan, Philips and Wrenn are talented frosh, but they are going to make more mistakes, and those need to be minimized, and the team can ill afford to hang Murray out to dry as they did last night. That said, Murray can't be letting in 6 goals on 14 shots, either. That's simply awful. You can win games with a three goal offense when you have a sub 2.0 goalie like Chevy playing well, but you can't win many games with an inconsistent freshman like Murray, who has yet to show the needed consistent mental makeup of a WCHA goalie. Derek Lalonde needs to work with this kid much more intensively over the next couple weeks to get him ready for six period weekends.

Pulling back into the big picture, DU is still a first place team, but there is a lot of company. This is not a special DU team right now - just one of many.

The bye week comes at a great time. DU needs some refocus on playing more consistent hockey, cleaning up defensive mistakes and getting the power play to be more effective.

Right now, the team is underachieving, and I expect the coaches, seniors and captains to right the ship.

Since I was basically the only UAA fan on the scores thread, I assume you are speaking of me. I made ONE statement about the poor reffing, so let's not go overboard here. Nothing like Runningwiththedogs did in her scores thread. :rolleyes:
