All Things Denver XXXIII

Re: All Things Denver XXXIII

I believe it is optional to have an actual goal judge starting this year and, yes, DU will not be having them. Apparently, the "goal judges" will sit in the press box with buttons to turn on the lights from now on. DU had many issues with the replay system last year, so we'll see how this one turns out in the long run...

We're screwed.

Jason's gonna have to adjust to weather and traffic like Bangkok.

It's not the heat; it's the humidity that gets you.
100-105 degrees 10% humidity feels like 94.8-99.6 (Vegas weather)
95-100 degrees 80-90% humidity feels like 133.9-146.6 (Houston weather)

(Of course this came from a Vegas tourism site )

In Houston, you'll commonly hear people say: "We've got two seasons, summer and July and August." For about three months, before the sun comes up, the relative humidity is at 100% (sometimes a little less). No rain. Just air that's totally saturated. 'Course, when the sun does come up, the humidity plummets to around 85%. Women, especially, love it. Get all dressed up. Hair just perfect. But in the walk to the car, with the AC already running, their hair winds up looking like an ad for "friz city."

I spent over a decade in Houston. And the rule of thumb I applied for travel time was 1 hour. It'll take 1 hour to get where I'm going. I have seen the worst, scariest traffic shiza of my life in Houston. I came within about two seconds of being killed one morning on the way to the station. As I overtook and passed a tractor-trailor rig on a nearly deserted freeway, his spare tire slid out from under the rig and bounced on the highway. I doubt I would have survived slamming in to a big tire, bouncing at windshield height, on a rim, at highway speeds. Just plain luck I had changed lanes to pull around him.

There was an infamous accident involving a cement truck that wound up killing several people. Based on the time he had clocked out of his yard, the investigation revealed the guy had to have been going 80 to get to the accident location when he did. In town! Any listing of congested American cities always has Houston right up there with LA, NY and Chicago.

Re: All Things Denver XXXIII

Classes start tomorrow at DU, but most of the hockey team has been here for 2 or 3 weeks. Captain's practice? Can they work with strength and conditioning coach prior to formal practices? Do I remember correctly that the first formal practice was the day of the exhibition game last year due to some convoluted NCAA reg?

Another interesting tidbit... UW has a Captain and 3 alternates, the same as DU.

According to Paul Capobianco of the UW athletic communications office, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association currently mandates that only three players are allowed to wear "C'' or "A'' letters on their sweaters for each game. As such, one(Alternate) will wear the "A'' at home and the other will wear it on the road (And I add: The third is an "A" all the time??)

I don't know whether this is a new rule, but if not what has DU done in the past and if so I wonder how Gwoz will alternate the Crimson "A" .

Paul Phillips is the Captain. Shawn Ostrow, Chris Knowlton and Nick Shore will wear the "A".

The remaining 12 home games will be streamed live on Pioneer Vision.

That means all 21 DU home games will be broadcast on TV or streamed live on Pioneer Vision. I assume the 2 games at Minny will be on FSN North and the 2 at UND will be on FCS. That leaves 10 away games we don't know about (SCSU, UMD, Bemidji, Mankato and CC). I know in the past CBS Sports has gone to Colorado Springs for DU/CC games.
