Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Good weekend for the Pios. CU played much better tonight--especially Andy Isles. I thought they made some key adjustments over last night. DU comes up empty of the PP (including two majors). Rare that a team wins when they don't convert on two majors. One of the adjustments CU made was on their kill.

Very disappointing to see them lose there cool and be classless at the buzzer.

McCarron of Cornell was DQ'd at the end of the game. He and Mowrey both took cheap shots at DU's players heads after the buzzer. CU players were told to get off the ice and they completely ignored the refs. The stupid rookie refs had no idea what to do. That ticked me off because it's a player safety issue. Refs are suppose to protect players. Those two clowns were clueless.

Next weekend is going to be a tough series. UNO will come in hungry. Need to be ready and get the win on Friday.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

That was weird. When the game ended, I looked away from the ice for a minute to talk to the person I went with; when I looked back, it looked like the players were all trying to decide whether to brawl or not. I was REALLY hoping that whatever happened was instigated by Cornell and not DU, since whatever it was happened while I was looking away. It sounds like it was instigated by Cornell, although I also saw a couple of DU players making it pretty clear what they thought of the situation.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Huh. I, for the life of me - cannot imagine any ice hockey player ever using cuss words. And what's this jibberish about the refs??? Sounds like Big Red couldn't handle the fact that they were BIG LOSERS. How DARE some punks from the east question our #1, fair minded, super-skilled, fantastic, ultra-professional and unbiased WCHA Refs!!!!

Wish I had been there last night. Read the comments by Cornell's coach. He doesn't have to worry much about coming back to the WCHA after this year anyways, unless he's playing Anchorage or Tech.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Last night I thought Scotty Mayfield was standing next to the ref signaling "Come On" to Cornell. But after review, determined he was waving a polite Bye-Bye to the Big Red.

Never did see what started it all. Cornell coach said DU should have stayed on their bench at game's end, but don't they always come out to congratulate the goalie after a win? And stay on the ice for a stick salute to the fans.

Did you notice the hard hat barely fit on Larkin Jacobson's head? Big congrats to him on his first collegiate goal!

I recommend he schedule Tech during Winter Carnival. Snow up to his lips and a cornholing, too.

When I heard about the Cornell kid lipping off to the refs, my mind wandered back to Andre Gambucci. You pull that crap on him and he'd bust you back to peewees.

I wondered where he got that "keeping guys on the bench" too. Maybe in the Ivy League after the horn sounds they have "dress for sucess" lectures or read passages from scriptures. But not in the real world.

Yeah, looked like the hard hat was pounded on to Larkin's head. Man, it was great to see him come out of the deep freeze to contribute a GWG. BTW, do you think we could chip in to buy an x-acto knife to scrape that "filthy, disgusting boid" off and replace it with an arched DENVER? Apparantly that's one fowl that won't ever appear on the endangered species list.

Re: All Things Denver-The Real XXXIV

Just to put in perspective how idiotic this whole scene in Denver was.......nobody mentions that while these 2 teams are wanting to brawl - we have DU Assistant Coach Derek Lassonde and Cornell player Cole Bardreau hugging, high-fiving and creating INDELIBLE memories that are a HELL OF A LOT MORE IMPORTANT than a friggin handshake inside Magness Arena, that will last a lifetime.

I also saw Paul Phillips pull a Cornell player aside and shake his hand. I think it was number 7 on Cornell, which appears to be Braden Birch, one of the captains.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sure going to cry myself to sleep about Cornell boycotting the WCHA.

The first rule of coaching when your ****ed off about refs is to limit what you say after the game to people with mics and cameras. Second you should always use adversity to teach your players what they need to learn. Lastly, you model taking responsibility for your mistakes. This guy failed on all three counts. Anyone who was there will tell you several CU players lost their cool after losing a tight game. Lay down in your bed and stop crying.

I dare say if this had been league play, Schaefer would be watching Cornell's next game from his home.
Your 2nd and 3rd points are what make not only a good coach, but also a good teacher and a good man.
