Two loves in my life: Fighting Sioux Hockey and Metal.
I'm a '95 graduate of Colorado College. I bleed green and black so my 2nd favorite team after the Sioux is Colorado College.
I also play guitar. I love anything loud with lot's of distortion-Pantera, George Lynch, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Metallica, Megadeth, Disturbed, etc. As my username indicates, I'm a huge fan of the Boston-area band Godsmack. Devil Horns to the Sky!
We went to the Vermont series in fall of 2015. That was a lot of fun. Got to see the leaves turning as well as some kid named Brock Boeser play like he was a senior. I never ate so many flap jacks and French toast as I did when we went to Burlington.
Would love to see some east coast trips like in years past where they’d play a game against say, Northeastern and then the next night at BC/Harvard/BU. I went out to Boston the year UND played at the Conte Forum and then the next night at Matthews Arena. Fun seeing two different opponents back to back.
DU’s goaltending has consistently been so clutch year in and year out. If you’re a Denver fan you gotta feel good knowing your coach is going to put out a championship contender every season, even if you don’t end up winning it all every single year. I want that at UND and I believe we will get that from our coaching staff here going forward.
I wonder if UND can somehow replicate whatever it is that David Carle’s been doing, or if it’s like Walmart where competitors try and fail miserably copying them. What strikes me is that they play clutch, relatively mistake free hockey when it matters the most. Must be not only preparation but a mindset.
Mayotte just got a pay raise and a five year contract extension. It’s time he put up. Was really hoping they would’ve gone after the Gwoz either after Owens left or after Haviland.
Haviland set the program so far back, not sure if any coach could have quickly resuscitated it. Unlike Denver where a coach leaves and the new coach inherits a solid team.
