Interesting interview with Gwoz after the game. Players played well and when needed Chevy bailed them out. Good to see players like Maiani get on track but there area few others he would like to see get going offensively.

Tomorrow is a huge game for DU against BC and he set up the showcaseformat so DU would have to play BC as it means so much for the pairwise. If it had been the tourney format, they would be playing SLU which would not help them in the PWR. He thinks SLU did a great job against BC today.

Finally, he mentioned that both Patrick Wiercioch and Joe Colborne were extremley disappointed in not being asked and/or selected to Team Canada for the WJC. He feels they were shunned because they play college hockey and not in the CHL. He also said both players have been pressured by the CHL for the last 3 or 4 years to play in Canada yet they wanted to go to college. He thinks it is unfair for them to be shunned like this. FYI, for those of you that don't know, Gwoz is Canadian from Thunder Bay, ON. It must hurt him even more to see his players being treated like this by his home country.

That last is both interesting and sad.
