Just be warned, good things don't come with that cup. You can keep it.
And Denver was just up for Carny a couple years ago. Probably one of the funniest weekends of hockey I've had in a very long time.

After this season, I think the entire fanbase wants some ice cream.

Yep, that's right. I was thinking of 2006-07. But that was just a 5 v 6 match up when they upset CC for the 2nd time.

It's even 'cursed' our postseasons before, back in the decades when we were capable of winning it. Though I also recall that I sat down a couple of years ago and figured out that the so-called "MacNaughton Curse" is a bit overhyped. Even though there are over thirty MacNaughton Cup champions that did not win the national title, there are also thirteen winners who DID go on to win the national title that season. However, due to the changes in the NCAA hockey postseason in the past couple of decades, only four teams ('90 UW, '91 NMU, '97 UND, and '05 DU) have achieved this feat since 1990.

With Denver residents having voted to decriminalize pot, we prefer 'Cherry Garcia'....

Re: FORE! WCHA First Round - Michigan Tech at Denver
Tech hasn't always been inept in the playoffs!! How many of you remember 1986? (Swami, I'm sure I'll get a few things wrong here, so don't be too hard on me). It was a two game total goal series. Saturday evening at the end of the second period, DU and MTU were tied in total goals when the lights went out in the arena. We had everything riding on this. #1 team in the nation a team loaded with offensive talent, ready to cruise by Tech to take on Minn the next weekend. The announcer tells us to show up at 1:00 the next day to finish the game. It was either Jeff Lamb or the Mathias kid (not Dwight Mathiason) got the game winner and then of course we went on to eventually lose to Harvard in the semis!!!
So how close is this to realty?

Re: FORE! WCHA First Round - Michigan Tech at Denver
Not too bad.
The game was continued onto that Sunday because of ice conditions. There was a huge crack in the ice behind one of the goals. The arena crew worked basically all night to try and get the ice surface playable for Sunday.
We played UMD next, beating them 8-2 and tying 5-5 and then the Gophers, beating them 4-0 and 4-2.
Pretty sure Jeff Lamb did not score the winner as he had gotten injured by Tech d-man Scott White with a wicked slappah of a slash to Lamb's calf, causing some temporary paralysis in that leg.
A little trivia (for anyone): The aforementioned announcer had a nickname. What was it? How did he get it?

Why the hell drink Starbucks? That overpriced crap is pedaled by an eNeMa U grad. I think DU fans can afford much better.

Re: FORE! WCHA First Round - Michigan Tech at Denver
I'm well aware of why someone would drink Starbucks, but I'm saying that it's basically the Sam Adams of the coffee world. A brilliantly marketed, but generally overrated product.
Besides, I was only trying to carry on huskyfan's joke.

Chris has it right, The Zamboni tore a huge hole in the ice and the MTU game was rseumed on Sunday where DU took care of business. Amazingly, thousands of people returned for third-day conclusion.
After we beat Tech, then came UMD and the imfamous "Coffin" appearance, when DG and his DU friends carried a real coffin into the UMD fan section. Frickin' amazing.
