I'm still not sold on the altitude contention.
There's an easy empirical way to settle this. Year in and year out, teams have better records at home than on the road. If DU and CC have historically had home win percentages better than the mean, this would support that argument. If not...
New Haven is at sea level, yet Yale wins its two games in overtime. UNH's strongest period is its final one of the weekend, and it dominates overtime play on Friday. I don't see any low gas tank in either effort.
That subsample of just four games proves nothing I realize -- the long term pattern would settle this argument. But the point is being raised here, so just sayin'...

GREAT showing by both Yale and UNH this weekend against what I believe are two very good hockey teams in Colorado. Yale showed that they can play with (and beat) anyone, answering what I know were many question marks about how good they can be this year. UNH showed that they are clearly legit as a #3 team in the country. Congrats to both teams and both fanbases on an awesome showing this weekend. The two games at CC were extremely entertaining to watch! I am guessing CC will be at UNH next year (not sure whether they will be at Yale), and I am planning to make the trip if that is the case.
Good luck to both of your teams the rest of the way!

Maybe I was a little harsh, and out in left field with my after-game comments about the DU coaching; Boone Lives is right. We were supposed to fall to the bottom after Zucker & Shore & Bennett left us..... this was to be a rebuilding year, according to many. And here we are, "rebuilding" at #3
How they bounce back from this will be a huge indicator of this Denver team. The wheels are not falling off the DU bus. Give these guys a chance to grow as a group.

Yale and UNH were great teams this weekend, and the hockey in Denver was very entertaining. Obviously, not anything like the outcome I hoped for. I think DU played very poorly the first and third periods Friday night, and pretty much total crap the third period Saturday night. And Yale and UNH did what good teams do; they made them pay. I certainly hope that the game against CC in the Springs, combined with the game against UNH will teach this DU squad that a big lead is not a reason to take it easy.
And I agree, it has been fun bantering with different fans than usual. I hope that with the move to the NCHC, we will get more of this in the future.
