  • tUMD @ DU: To Be the Best You Must Play the Best... (Oct. 4th and 5th)

    UMD is coming off their first sweep of the year against BSU at home. The make their first road trip to Denver in a long time (2008?)

    DU is coming off only a point in Houghton against MTU. Which means they will be highly motivated to take it out on UMD

    But Murrey's status is unknown at this point, which could be a key to this series.

    If UMD takes more than a point this weekend I will be a happy man.

    Thoughts?

        So is UMD playing Tech, or do they not want to be the best?

          This is the beginning of Homevember for DU with 7 straight home games starting with this pair against UMD followed by a single game against CC, a pair with UNO and single games with Princeton and Miami over Thanksgiving weekend. DU needs to establish themselves after a Jekyll and Hyde start in the first 6 games. At times, they can look like the best team in the country followed by stretches or games in which they make critical errors which generally lead to opposing goals. There is no doubt this team is talent-laden, it is a matter of just being more consistent. Right now they are consistently inconsistent. For the first time ever, DU has 3 goalies who are D-1 caliber. The only problem is Sam Brittain is out until mid- to late January and Adam Murray sustained an upper body injury last Friday at MTU. Third string, walk-on goalie Juho Olkinuora got the start last Saturday and more than proved himself capable of playing in this league. Murray dressed as his back-up last Saturday and wanted to play. I don't think we will know who will play goal this weekend until later in the week. After only getting 1 point last weekend, I suspect the Pios will come out breathing fire on Friday.

            Kenny Is very streaky and hasn't given up a goal in 5 periods so if he gets going friday he could string 4 good games together

                  We found out why Tech wanted to kick us out of the WCHA. We just can't compete at their high level.

                      Considering the shake up in lines on Saturday, and Salazar's demotion the 4th line, and Bennett and potenially Knowlton coming back, the offense appears to be in a state of flux.

                          Thoughts?
                          I've seen DU (or is DS?) play twice already this season at World Arena North. The Pioneers (or is Roadrunners?) have serious internal trouble between players and coaches, add in the injuries and Metro State will be lucky to get one point this weekend. George is not liked by most of the players and it is showing on the ice!
                          World Arena North (aka Magness Arena on the campus of Denver State University) where the Colorado College Tigers are 17-11-5 all time against the Metro State Pioneers. Thank you Denver Roadrunners for building a second home for CC!!

                          World Arena North lives on!! Go Tigers!!

                            Question, which crowd will be louder? Crowd at Magnus this weekend, or crow at Presidential Debate? I am going with the debate...

                              In Duluth the local My 9 is going to pick up this game on Friday as well. I'm sure it will just be the feed and maybe even the same announces that Root Sports uses, but hey...we get to watch the Dogs on TV.
