Tabrum broke his stick over his knee as it went off the ice after being tossed for the hit from behind. No lack of emotion out there tonight! Both Pios and girls sitting on the bubble.
The passion was dialed up to 10 by simmering bile, wild momentum shifts and a general lack of control by referees whose talents might be better suited to serving as hall monitors at an elementary school.
Is there any chance coach Carle will be returning to Denver next year? As in, a paid coach? I absolutely expect he'll be working in hockey - somewhere after he graduates, and will have a very long career in the game; be it coaching, scouting, front office, etc. His story - and especially his pre-collegiate playing career ......is really cool, and being a DU fan and follower of the Carle family has been great. Best of luck to him!
I want to be a fan of the best team in college hockey - so that explains why I am a DENVER fan!
Well done all around, for sure. And I have my tickets for game 2 of the first round series, so I'm in good shape.
Me too! I look foward to either Bemidji or Wisconsin.... I didn't get a chance to see Bemidji when they were in town last time. Does anyone know if there is a chance the Friday night game will be televised?
GO DU!!!!
ROWDY IN THE FIRST ROW!!! DU Hockey National Champions: 1958, 1960, 1961, 1968, 1969, 2004, 2005
I'm pretty curious how this weekend will go, as in how the DU team will approach it. Two total points either earned by DU or given away by North Dakota give DU third seed, with 2nd seed impossible (falling back as far as 5th also impossible), while UNO is fighting for home ice in the first round; one could certainly argue that UNO has more to play for. Still, I would hope to see DU come out fighting, because with DU's only really consistent trait this year being inconsistency, it sure would be nice to use last Saturday night to catapult a nice, oh I don't know, 12 game winning streak (I think I added that up correctly).
Any PWR prognostications? DU is on the bubble being tied for 11th, and UNO doesn't look like a "high quality" opponent for (PWR purposes) at 29. Wondering what will happen if we get out of Omaha with 3 points or better--would it raise DU a spot or two in the PWR...would we fall...or remain on the bubble? I'm sure there are a ton of variables.
I also don't recall what the TUC factor involves. If we have a successful weekend at UNO, could it hurt UNO's PWR to the point where UNO would no longer be a TUC, thereby hurting DU's PWR ranking?
