UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Ha I called the TIE correctly. :D

I picked a loss for saturday but I wouldn't have a problem with a win.

Good for you. Considering UAA was without three key players, and hadn't played in 5 weeks, they dug deep and found a way to get a point. They have had success against the Pioneers in the last couple of years, so I think they play with more confidence against them.

Jonnie O was solid, and the defense in front of him was solid. Penalty killers did a great job too. I hope they have energy left for tomorrow night.
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Denver fell right into a Seawolves trap in game 1 which ended in a 1-1 tie. UAA is a very frustrating team for Denver to play - they are big, they trap well, they gap-up in the d-zone, and tonight, they played perfect road hockey to get the point. Gotta tip your cap to 'em. They know how to play against Denver, and this was a grinding game played mostly along the board that was painful to watch.

The Pios looked pretty sluggish after an emotional Denver Cup win, and without the students in the barn, another Magness game with little to no atmosphere whatsoever.

Very frustrating game and not having Nutini or Donovan on d showed.

That was a hard game to watch even though the Pioneers were in it the whole way. I don't like trap hockey too much and with what Swami said about the atmosphere at the game, no wonder I was battling to keep my eyes open throughout the 2nd and 3rd periods.

However, he will quickly learn how the WCHA refs call a game. He took three penalties tonight. :eek:
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Very weak effort by the Pios tonight--darn lucky to end with a tie. Beat to the puck, lazy and really sloppy with the puck for at least 2/3 of the game. PP sucked, top line sucked. Jessie Martin sucked big time. I agree with 78 missing Chris and Matt really showed. I expect they'll come out ready to play tomorrow night. Has to serve as a major wake up call. Rhett's line will step up tomorrow night--have a hop and pass the puck with some pop.

But on the bright side the Tigers fall to tUND.

Students were back. We just had nothing to cheer about. Hard to get excited about anything that happened in that hockey game.
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

decent game for the seawolves. Really liked the intensity and the discipline to STAY OUT OF THE **** PENALTY BOX. Still really pleased with the Crowell, Parkinson & Portwood line, they really have gelled all season, glad shyiak hasn't broken those 3 up. And Mr. Olthuis looked sharp, he is starting to play like he did his freshman year.



Hear's a question to you Pio fans, what happened to Luke Salazar, is he hurt or is he fighting for playing time cause i remember a lot of raving about him?
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

and two more things

1. DU fans are some of the classiest fans i've ever met. Hopefully can meet some of you guys tomorrow.

2. 12 bucks for parking???? how many fans pay for that?? i'll never complain about sully parking again.

Park in the RTD garage- the big one along the interstate. Technically for transit users but by the time the game is over the attendant shack is always empty.

And as far as Salazar goes, he wasn't delivering early in the year so he's had to fight for time as his size makes him more of a liability unless he's scoring.
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Gwoz's post-game interview (free video). Very critical of the team including the big stars. Even though they talked about it during the week after last weekend's two wins, the team was not mentally prepared. He had a "one-way" conversation with the team after the game. I would expect to see a totally different DU team tonight.

Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Quite the BORING game last night... i'm hoping for a little more action around the seawolves net tonight!

Oh, and what is a seawolf? Googled it and it came up with some ugly fish... guessing thats not the mascot...
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Good job Seawolves. Always makes me happy when DU gets anything less than 2 points in a night :)

Yeah I don't know what a seawolf is either. That seems to be the question everyone asks :p

And about your sig... "Sue" is a girl's name, not "Sioux" :rolleyes:
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Sounds like there was some ugliness last night. Glad I missed it. Hopefully Gwoz's "motivational" speech worked, and the Pios can get a blow out win tonight.
 
Re: UAA vs Denver Goin on a road trip

Seems like whenever UAA comes to Magness there is a least one nail biter of game. Hope that was last night and DU comes out with some jump tonight.
