MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

Re: MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

Those two things didn't do us much good two seasons ago. Just saying.

Seriously, DU is a fantastic team this year with amazing goaltending. I think this team will go along way in the tourney. Congrats on a great regular season.

Yeah, I know, but we don't have that whole 1957 thang hanging over our heads...

But, seriously, I am a HUGE Red Sox fan and we had a 1918 something-or-another going on....which eventually went away. 1957 may as well, but hey...

Congrats to DU on the win tonight. They certainly deserved it and outplayed us in every aspect of the game. I do have to say that I was disappointed by the sportsmanship that was displayed by the group of DU students that made the trip down tonight. I have no problem with DU bringing them down and it is expected since the schools are so close to each other. My problem with that section tonight was the fact that they were booing the CC seniors as they were introduced for senior night. I thought that was very inappropriate and something needs to be done about that. I have been to DU numerous times for their senior night and I don't boo them I applaud them. It is their time to celebrate their accomplishments and hard work on and off the ice over the past four years and it deserves respect from all fans. I know we like to talk trash between us fans especially on this board and it is all in good fun most of the time but what happened tonight should never happen. With that said, I wasn't at Magness last night and I hope that the CC fans that were there did not do the same thing. If they did then you DU fans feel free to call us out on it. I will also say that admire what DG has done in getting the students at DU involved more and that is a good thing. DG I just hope you were not apart of that inexcuseable behavior tonight. Anyway, feel free to agree or disagree with me but this was very dispectful from those DU fans that were in that section and it needs to be pointed out to them so that it doesn't happen again.

I'm not gonna even read this drivel.

Just, Dave 57, chill it......maybe you get to watch your tiggers on TV (I don't really care) but we get to go and watch our PIOS at home and proceed (as yer tiggers will not) onward.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night to the cc tigers of '09-'10

Re: MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

DU's fan support was stronger than usual tonight in the Springs. I was also a little surprised by the DU students booing the CC seniors, and had I been seated anywhere near them, I would have said something to them. All seniors deserve our respect and admiration, and I know our small group of DU fans were applauding them. That also said, the CC seniors looked like they were laughing pretty hard during the 'booing' from the 40 DU kids.

Also another interesting wrinkle tonight was CC's arena staff reportedly denied DU's Gold Pan presentation on the ice after the game. From what I understand, DU was not allowed to skate the trophy after the game because CC's arena staff was determined to get their post game zambonis on the ice (three of them!). Not sure if that was the right decision or not, but some of the DU folks reportedly appeared surprised at the way it was just handed to them in the bowels of CSWA before DU got on the bus home.

Arrogance isn't going to win much around here, or anywhere. I'd HATE to see it bite you in the a-$-$

I'm going to agree with Dave and say it is EXTREMELY disrespectful to boo another team's seniors on Senior Night on their home ice. CC's seniors worked hard for 4 years and I respect them and they deserve recognition. I'm not a CC or DU fan, but I would never boo anyone getting special recognition. I don't live in Canada. It's kind of like how some people BOO their own teams. I hate that also.

Re: MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

I definitely would not boo any team's seniors on senior night.

Boston U and Northeastern both did really classy things this weekend in their home and home series. Last night, BU did a quick recognition of the NU seniors playing in their final road game, then tonight, NU did the same for the BU seniors. I thought that was really classy and a nice touch. Of course there were a few boos from the student sections each night, but for the most part people applauded, including most of the students.

I agree with Swami on the DU students giving it to the CC seniors. Yes, it was tacky but college students are known for that.

You could tell DU was expecting the trophy on ice and to deny it was classless. This rivalry, the best one in all of sports in the state, deserves to be managed better than it was tonight at the closing of the game. It shouldn't be arena staff members making that call. Scott Owens and his staff should of stepped up and made preparations. I hope that in fifty years when CC wins it back, that the DU staff hands it over with class.

Your response to me proves that you read my post so as usual you have nothing constructive to say. Disappear and crawl back into your hole moron.

Meh...

I remember when Anders Eisner was "goaltending" for DU.

Michael Eisner (his dad) was CEO of a little company called, say, "DISNEY" and I personally watched CC fans pelt him with ice cubes and yell at him "You want more, old man..." (while having no idea who he was)

I get a few boos, but I thought the "No one cares" chant was a bit much, as was the screaming over the National Anthem.

 

[Old Pio]

Re: MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

Personally, I'd prefer for DU students to behave themselves better. There's a point where supporting the Pioneers crosses the line, and being disrespectful during the Anthem represents the line for me. On the other hand, no real harm done and the behavior can be chalked off to youthful enthuisiasm.

However, I'm not prepared to give the benefit of the doubt to "arena staff" for deciding that late on a Saturday night it's imperative the we get out there and resurface the ice immediately. Because if we don't, well then. . .what? In the real world, guys who drive Zambonis don't make these kind of decisions or ANY decisions for that matter. CC is the prime tennant for the building and in terms of conduct of the games, I can't imagine that building staff makes any kind of decision without consulting CC. Therefore, IMHO, the decision not to let DU skate with the Gold Pan was made by somebody from CC. . . and it's classless. Not exactly unprecedented when dealing with that bunch.

Agreed. That was worse then what UND fans do at the end of the Anthem.

Re: MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

Yeah I was booing. Except when I was laughing. Like all the best college cheers, it was just spontaneous reaction to the moment.

CC fans outnumbered DU fans 7,000 to 300. If someone boos its relatively easy to cheer over them. CC's hockey team could have done their part and jumped out to a 3-0 lead and CC fans would have been giving it back to the DU student. God knows I've seen that happen more than a few times in the Springs.

The fact of the matter is that 90% of the fans in World Arena have no connection to Colorado College except location. I would bet they didn't what "Senior Night" is.

I was in Miami (Ohio) a couple of years ago and they said that Michigan students came down in a couple of buses and took over their building. Miami's students figured out, "Oh that's what we're supposed to do" and now they have one of the best student sections in college hockey.

Consider Saturday night a free lesson in Student Section 101. Maybe I could teach it under the Block Plan.

I was at the DU lacrosse game on Saturday afternoon and a guy behind me in line said to his friend, "Friday nights DU-CC game was the best sporting event he's ever attended."

The students, the White Outs, the cheers, the songs, the occasional off color chants are what makes college hockey what it is. If DU sticks to the script the hockey program will thrive in a Denver marketplace that is over-saturated with professional sports teams.

Re: MacNaughton cup champions vs. the team from the Cleveland Steamer World Arena

Methinks DU is bound to drop a game sooner or later, and the Tiggers are bound to stop being swept sooner or later.

DU wins the Gold Pan on Friday at home, CC takes the Saturday senior night in the Springs.

Swami predicted the split, just the wrong night.

I would say this series has been pretty even this year.

DU 2 CC 1
DU 4 CC 4
DU 1 CC 2

Before Saturday score DU 7 cc 7
Sunday morning score DU 14 cc 10
Now that's more like it.

Gwoz said the 1st 30 minutes was perhaps DU's best hockey of the year. And I loved every minute!

Have to agree with Old Pio, booing the anthem crossed the line and despite UND's offensive behavior is not acceptable.

cc officials must have been afraid of the DU students "storming the ice" when the Gold Pan was presented to the warriors wearing Crimson and Gold.

Rhett Rakhshani had a very Happy Birthday!

DU students didn't boo the anthem. They sang it normally. The issue was they were not in synch with CC's anthem singers, and it sounded strange.

A small group of students DID boo during the senior night and it was definitely tacky. That said, if CC runs us out of the building last night, nobody would be talking about DU's fans today. The fact was that DU's 300 fans brought it all night long and often out-cheered 7,000 CC fans. The only time CC's fans were into it was after their goals, and with DU up 6-0 before CC ever scored one, it just wasn't to be. CC's student section was not into the game at all, which is unusual - often they get up for the DU game. Last night, they were a non-factor.

The fact that 90% of the CC fans (maybe more) have no tie to the school is fine. Heck, I'm one of those fans, and it has no bearing on whether I cheer, it has no bearing on how much I appreciate each senior class, and it doesn't make me love this team any less than someone who went to CC. Heck, the run of the mill fans at WA are far more into the game than those at DU.

Students and other road fans can be great, loud, boisterous, etc. without being downright disrespectful. Northeastern and BU are both good examples of this, along with New Hampshire, Cornell, Maine, and even BC to a point (along with plenty of others that I'm sure I missed). For this weekend's home and home for NU and BU, I didn't hear a single road fan booing the home team's seniors on either senior night, yet once that puck dropped, the fans were into the game, even with the NU students on spring break.

CC's student section is awful and embarrassing, there's no question about that. However, CC doesn't need DU to teach the course in Student section behavior. If we were to do that, I'd rather get some NU Doghouse members, or some Cornell fans, or Wisconsin, or countless others.

That said, I think it's great that DU has rejuvenated the home student section and began to travel better (largely due to the efforts of you and other alumni, dg). I remember the Regional in the Springs in 2004 barely had any DU fans in attendance, and things have improved greatly since then. But SOME class would be nice, especially if there was yelling during the anthem and booing of the CC seniors last night. Some lines just shouldn't be crossed, IMO. Boo 'em all you want, but these seniors had DU's number for three of their four seasons.
