This makes me irate. Try watching the video of the last 7 minutes of the game after the hit. Patrick played the rest of the game, regular shifts, right up to the horn!! If he were really injured, do you think your coach would have let him play, knowing the game was lost anyway?

So George lets him play, then says immediately after the game that his guy is hurt and if they had to play next weekend (a bye week) he would not be able to play!! George is lying. He is not hurt.

Suze: I usually like reading your posts, but this one is completely ridiculous. What makes you think you can analyze a guy's medical condition as a fan from the peanut gallery? Surely you've been following sports long enough (or perhaps have played enough sports yourself) to know that one can finish a game feeling fine, only to learn later that an injury occurred in the game. Here's an example to bring it home for ya: I was out biking the other day and overdid it, feeling a twinge in my hamstring. But I was able to keep biking at full speed for another half hour, only to realize the next day that I really hurt something, cause my knee had swollen to twice its size.

Your post smacks of paranoia, and makes no absolutely no sense. I hereby nominate it for "strangest post of the year." Congratulations!!

DG: I think Suze's post would be a perfect target for a funny send up on your blog. Do your best!

To take it one step further why would he jeopardize Patrick's future contract negotiations with the Ottawa Senators by raising alarm bells about a so called "phantom" injury?

And why would Gwozdecky want a UAA player to be unjustly suspended when the Seawolves are playing Wisconsin this weekend? Trust me, Wisconsin is far greater threat to DU in the standings than UAA.

Guys, I am upset by the two blatant lies published in your paper about this incident.

A player has been injured. Who cares what a newspaper says?

It was a road game. The reporter wasn't on the roadtrip. The Denver Post and its penny pinching editors are to blame for that. If you have a problem with the story, contact the writer.

Suze: let it go. You're making yourself look silly.

Congrats to UAA on the win Saturday. It's about time that you beat DU on your home ice. We should all wish Patrick a good recovery, as he's one of the bright lights in the WCHA. And good luck to the Seawolves the rest of the season.

Dear, while we're trying to figure out who's got the credibility here, you or Gwozdecky, perhaps you'd be kind enough to outline for us your medical training and then explain when it was you got to examine Pat's knee.

You mean you can't get a proper diagnosis from someone with no medical knowledge that's sitting in the stands at a hockey game?

So many DU posters have said positive things about the lady that I will defer to their judgement. However, on this issue, she's coming on like a crank.

You are making my point for me. The reporter wasn't on the road trip. Are you saying Mike Chambers does not get his information from the DU athletic department?

1.6 mil for RPI? I wonder why the figure is so out of line with the others.

Shirely Jackson is also the first African American female president of a major private school (RPI). I am sure the RPI folks will know more about her and whether she deserves all the money she gets, but her pay package is seen as controversial by many, but her Board is fully behind her, due the transformation of the school that's she's been overseeing. I believe she is the highest-paid private college president in the US.

After he gets off his anti-Boone kick, perhaps he should check with the President of RPI.

Coombe is the only Prez on the list catching flak from a hockey blogger. Obviously I'm helping keep expenses down on campus.

I say let Coombe test the free agent market and then offer him a 20% pay cut.

Considering Ritchie made a dollar a year, Coombe is seriously under-performing.

Some say measure college presidents by fund raising/capital campaigns, press and prestige, enrollment size, program strenghts, faculty schoalrship, research grants, endowment, US News rankings, and admissions selectivity. Bah.

As we all know, the only acceptable measure for a college president is how many NCAA Hockey titles have they overseen....

Coombe may be mascot-challenged, but has at least generated 1 NCAA hockey title under his watch (2005). :cool:

CC president Celeste is the one who is underperforming, as are all CC presidents since 1957.

Since when does a hockey injury and the truth go hand in hand?
