All Things Denver XXXVII

Re: All Things Denver XXXVII

Hmmmmmmm we may have some NHL trade day implications to talk about...... So both Brittain and Cowley are Florida Panthers' draft picks, right? NHL goaltender Roberto Luongo just got traded to the Panthers. And I don't see him withering away for atleast a couple years. What does that do to Sam? And by the time Evan signs???? Interesting.

Stasny better get out his suitcase too; by the end of today, he could work for someone else too

Re: All Things Denver XXXVII

Kind of a mixed bag there...Great for Haugen to win the title! Too bad the one DU skier finished 32, though. I think DU's men are good in alpine events, so hopefully they will have a solid day.

Tim Thomas just sent packing from FLA to DAL, Sam with a good shot to be the full timer in San Antonio or be Luongo's back-up in FLA.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVII

They haven't come out with the official results yet, but it looks to me like DU men's GS did better in the second run than they did in the first. Trevor Philp has a rockin' second run--I think he improved from 18th place after the 1st run to finish 4th in his combined time. So...a pretty good (not great) day for DU after the first day. Seems like they are still in the hunt, but they will need excellent results in cross country to be able to contend this year.

Actually, looks like men finished 4, 8 and 16 in the men's GS. Pretty good. DU is tied for 2nd place with New Mexico in the team standings after the first day, about 35 points behind the host Utah, and a couple points above Colorado.

Ahh, the Wade Bennett/Sean Toriumi Era. Hard to believe it's ending so soon. Seems like it had only just started. [reaches for moist towelette to dab away tears] The Pioneers haven't faced the impending loss of such firepower since the halcyon days of Joey Brehm and Julian Marcuzzi.

Lance Momotani?

Re: All Things Denver XXXVII

Lance Momotani?

Mo-Mo!! If I recall correctly, back in the days when the Pioneers were absolutely atrocious, he led the team in scoring one year and probably didn't have more than 30-35 points. Several years ago Leon Fuller was the head football coach at CSU in Fort Collins. He had some decent teams, but toward the end the Rams were awful. He excoriated some players in the press one time by referring to some unnamed players as nothing more than "steak eaters and bus riders." Denver has had, and still has, some of those.

Re: All Things Denver XXXVII

HOLD ON HERE! Does that say they will honor the seniors at the CONCLUSION?? Fhat The Wuck DU?? It's always been pre-game or intermissions since I've been going. What happened? That's just plain dumb and actually disrespectful. I don't usually get wrapped up in the Coombe/University/Anti-Boone stuff... because I'm not an alum, I'm just a hockey fan! But hear me out. So......wait until after the game... when people (like me) are 3 sheets to the wind, or already headed to the parking lot before the game is over? And what, God help us, happens if DU loses the game? Anybody remember the game when they lost to who I believe was CC, the final regular game, and they had to skate the WCHA trophy around? The players looked like they were holding a casket up in the air. And what if Makowski gets a game misconduct??? I tell ya... this is bad bad baaaaaaad planning. Don't give me that "TV" crap either. I don't care if flippin Condolesa Rice or the Pope are going to be at the game..... you make it happen. What a load of dog crap. I think this is terrible, and I apologoze to those Seniors.

You can just hear the PA guy: "Wait, wait, wait. Don't leave yet. Yes this season was a gigantic fuster cluck. But we want to honor our seniors. Especially the guy who may be the best goalie in college hockey this year. Seriously. Stop."

No honoring of our hockey immortals, no playing of the Alma Mater, a jelly donut in the locker room and honoring our seniors when most of the tiny "crowd" is heading home. Perfect.

The trick is to keep the number to an absolute minimum. By comparison, George Morrison had 70 goals in two seasons. The drop off was barely noticeable.
