Re: All Things Denver XXXII

How about:

Nate Dewhurst in 3 years was 1-2-3.
This year he is 2-1-3

Shawn Ostrow in 2 years was 4-6-10.
This year is 9-8-17

Chris Knowlton in 2 years was 7-5-12
This year he is 10-4-14

Paul Phillips in 2 years was 0-8-8
This year is 1-7-8

Pios have 11 players in double digits; only 9 of whom have played the last month.

DU Power Play at 24%.

4 WCHA Scholar Athletes: repeaters Shawn Ostrow and Paul Phillips. Beau Bennett and Dan Olszewski make it in the 1st year of eligibility.

DU Alpine skiers owning the podium in Alaska.

DU swimmers in the top 5 of mid major team rankings

DU Men's basketball with a shot at the big dance.

In the highlights:
> mite/squirt Littleton's #10 goal scoring, Tebowing celebration
> Sam Brittain waving "bye-bye" to gophs Haula
> Nick Shore's game tying and game winning goals. Kudos to Drew Shore and Joey LaLeggia great passes.

And they brought up a d-man, not Donovan

Dman they brought up (Wishart) will be an extra player and probably not dress. I am sure they want Dono playing as he is 2nd in scoring on Bridgeport. No need to bring him up and not play him.

It all comes down to playing time and who you get paired with. When Ostrow & Dewhurst move up to the third line...boom production goes up.

Loney & Salazar play on the first line and they get goals in bunches. Stick them on the 4th line and you never hear about them.

Every player that DU recruits can play. Sometimes they just need an opportunity, confidence or the right linemates.

Re: All Things Denver XXXII

Chambers has an update on Zucker:

University of Denver standout forward Jason Zucker is scheduled to practice today and will likely travel with the team to this weekend's series at Wisconsin, Pioneers coach George Gwozdecky said.

Zucker, a sophomore who has 34 points (15 goals) in 25 games, was knocked unconscious in Friday's game against Minnesota and missed the two-game series finale on Saturday. After dumping the puck in from the neutral zone, he absorbed a blind-side check and shoulder to the head by Gophers freshman Kyle Rau, who was assessed a game-misconduct and was later suspended for Saturday's game by Western Collegiate Hockey Association commissioner Bruce McLeod.

From Chambers on Twitter:

Also, DU's Beau Bennett, who had wrist surgery in Dec., is skating with the boys, using just one hand. Still couple weeks out

Re: All Things Denver XXXII

Good news on Zucker. Sounds like Gwoz wasn't a big fan of the hit, either.

Did Rau really only get suspended for one additional game, or is the league still looking at the issue? Crap hits like Rau's on Zucker and Malone's on Martin can't be tolerated. Giving Rau a slap on the wrist sends a dangerous message that this stuff is tolerated. Like DG points out on another thread, someone will eventually get killed through one of these cheap shots. The league/NCAA needs to send a stronger message before that happens.

Slap on the wrist? Only one game? Someone will eventually get killed? Admit you know nothing about hockey or that you are joking Shirley. It's one or the other.

Rau's absence had minimum effect on the outcome too. If you actually watched the games you would have seen that.

Well, I believe Pablo knows plenty about hockey.

It doesn't take much intellect to realize that head and/or neck injuries can lead to death. There's a reason why doctors, paramedics and an ambulance are readily available at all games.

Admit you are an idiot or that you are at least joking, Laverne.

Jesse Martin should have died but didn't. It is you who knows nothing about hockey. And it is you who thinks this subject is appropriate for juvenile trolling. When some player winds up in a chair or worse, remember your attitude here. Shame on you.

Given that you are addressing a fanbase whose team captain was very nearly paralyzed by a questionable hit last year, I suggest you take a close look at yourself and then take your childish insensitvities and go play in another sandbox.
