Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
Took my two girls to the game. We had a great time. We go to both games down there every year. I try to ignore the idiots and seek out the people who know the game. I agree that all rinks have their fair share of idiots. Tiger fans got the energy stirred up good in the third it was loud as all get up. We had some good people around us tonight and we all enjoyed what was a crazy *** game. I spent most of the game talking to two teenage brothers who were at their first college hockey game--they were peppering me with questions. They were there with their mom. Game could of gone either way. I expect CC will come north and be hungry as hell tomorrow night. I know the non-call was controversial. The refs talked it over and decided to not call it. It would have been a hard call to justify given the amount of chaos in front. I haven't seen a replay. Shepard to his credit, didn't want to insert himself into what was not a slam dunk call like the one last Feb. All in all the bad calls seemed balanced. Interesting to see Gabe move up to replace Ty. Fallout from his quad penalty performance last Saturday--and lack of production.
First period was the best period for the PIOS all season--flawless. 2nd was split and third was all CC. I agree with Gwoz that in the third we got complacent and looked for quick steals in our end that led to tons of takeaways. The hope is that the coaching staff can use it to teach.
CC's biggest flaw is their goal tending--has been for the last 2-3 years. They have tons of talent. If they had one consistent goalie they could be a much better team. Has to super frustrating to their fans.
Got to finally meet Tig after years of board banter. This was a pleasure.
We can lock the pan up with the sweep tomorrow. I'm expecting to that Sam will be locking it down--like the move to play him Saturday. When does he get the full time job?
I hear that we are 12 seats from a sellout--things have been thin at Magness this year so that's could to hear. DU could do so much more to get people into their games. They are such penny pinchers. Bring back to kids tickets and do some promos for families. Promoting college hockey to kids is a must!

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
I've had things thrown at me at DU, but I know it doesn't represent most of you, just as the actions of the idiots tonight don't represent most of us. If I had seen that happen to you, I would have jumped in on your side in a heartbeat. I think most of us who follow one of these teams for more than these 4 games each season are good fans, and usually are civil to each other. If you go to the next game at World Arena, I'll buy you a beer before the game. Personally, I think part of what makes this rivalry so great is that both teams are usually good, the games ALWAYS have a playoff intensity to them, and as much as we may hate each other's teams, there is still a mutual respect.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
Throwing things on to the ice should never happen in any rink. The World Arena staff should be more proactive in the way they enforce NCAA regulations as it's a matter of player safety. By not taken action they are encouraging the poor sportsmanship. I have not seen objects thrown at players at any other rink. This was disturbing. I would feel just as strongly, maybe even more so, if I was a CC fan. Under NCAA regulations fans have just as much responsibility around sportsmanship as the athletes.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
There were like 3 or 4 things thrown. I'm not justifying what those people did, by any means, and when it happened, I was muttering to myself "come on, don't do this." But really, I counted 3 cups on the ice. And if you've never seen that at a rink, you cannot have been to many places. Again, I am NOT justifying what those morons did, because I HATE that, and I hope something was done about it, but don't pretend that it was widespread tonight and that doesn't happen from time to time at every rink. Hell, your own student fan base was well known for it before the nets were up.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
Haven't seen it in college rinks in easily the last ten years. Not meaning to make a big deal about it...all I'm saying is the lack of enforcement leads to the violations. Doesn't matter how many items are thrown--one is too many.
On another note--cool to see two Springs natives light it up for DU tonight!

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
Gwoz didn't mention the penalties in the postgame so I was surprised to see this rogue's gallery:
DEN-6 Scott Mayfield (2-Roughing) 20:00
DEN-7 Scott Mayfield (2-Roughing) 20:00
DEN-8 Juho Olkinuora (5-Fighting) 20:00
DEN-9 Juho Olkinuora (10-Disqualification) 20:00
CC-5 Archie Skalbeck (2-Roughing) 20:00
CC-6 Archie Skalbeck (2-Roughing) 20:00
CC-7 Rylan Schwartz (5-CONTACT TO THE HEAD) 20:00
CC-8 Rylan Schwartz (10-Disqualification)
For DU Zack Hope will probably be the back up goalie to Sam Brittain.
I didn't see the scrum, but it must have been pretty good for 2 DQs.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
I agree. I don't want to see that happen anywhere, no matter how few or how many. I'm not sure there was a way for ushers to see who did it, but if they did, I hope it was enforced. I've seen it at several rinks, even in the last 10 years (including yours), and it ****es me off every time. I despise those kinds of actions by so-called "fans," and there is NEVER a justification for it. I hate it more when it is "fans" of my team doing it.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
Both fan bases have been guilty of throwing things on the ice. There was definitely more than 3 or 4 things thrown. I was up high and had a good look. Outside of a few idiots though, my group and I were able to avoid trouble.
The guy who came up to us yelling at us that we were ****ing cheaters was amusing though. His wife straightened him up though. She started smacking the s*** out of him. Gave me a good laugh.
I wouldn't say though that the object throwing was widespread, it was more than 3 or 4 but, it wasn't like debris was raining down from a Yankee Stadium crowd or anything.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
In the college game, is throwing things on the ice a possible home team penalty? It is/was in the original Central Hockey League down in Texas. I was at a game in Waco once that got ugly, and the cops & ushers were walking people out the exits; but they actually stopped the game for like 5 minutes, the teams left the ice, and the home team Coach got on the PA standing at Center Ice with the PA Announcer, and was begging people to please stop throwing stuff. They received like 2 bench minors... and lost the game because of it.
The CC Mascot got some quality camera time.... the gauntlet has been thrown down for Boone..... you have to top that.

The home team can be assessed a delay of game penalty.
Boone better bring it tonight.
Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
You can't lock up the pan with a win tonight. You have to win the season series. If CC would have swept this weekend they would have locked it up because they have it right now.

I was a little surprised to see Jimmy Sherr say on TV last night, that his young daughter is a huge Tigers fan. I see favoritism problems down the road.

Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
I'm going on record now as saying that I think this DU team will run away with the WCHA. You guys have an unbelievable team, and all I can do is shake my head while I congratulate you for the *** kicking you handed CC tonight, even though I didn't think CC played badly, aside from the freakin' faceoff circle. The two best recent DU teams I can recall were the 02(?) team who lost at Yost in the tourney, and the 05 repeat National Championship team. I think this team might be better than both of those. They have amazing talent, and they have the best work ethic I have seen in years from DU. My hat is off to your team.

Never crown anybody in november. Never.
Re: Colorado College versus The University of Denver (CC vs DU)
JS Tigers,
Could not agree with you more. DU is lights out the best team CC has faced. DU is physical, quick and disciplined. CC still played relatively well. They have some glaring holes they need to address. Namely goaltending.

Haha, we CC fans know that better than nearly anybody. Unless DU has some critical injuries or a serious meltdown, they will continue to be an absolute FORCE this season.
