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!
Seriously. I always wondered what the non-Ivy’s in the ECAC thought about the difference between them and the high brow Ivy’s who played fewer games. It’ll be late October and UND and everyone else has had 2-3 weeks of games under their belts while the likes of Cornell is playing their first exhibition game. Crazy.
I re-watched the FF semifinal game and Bucci and Colby Cohen kept talking about how difficult Western made it for DU in the neutral zone, how aggressive the D and forwards were causing turnovers and puck battles at the red line. Also, just the mental toughness Ferscheweiler and his staff instilled in their players. Hope to see that return to UND as well.
I’m getting fired up for college hockey to begin!
My wife thinks I’m nuts. I’m re-watching that Frozen Four semifinal game between the Broncos and DU. Man, what a classic. I’ve watched this game three or four times now. To think how damn close Western was at various stages of the overtime to have lost that game and had that awful taste in their mouths for the rest of their lives.
When Robson opened, they announced a cashless experience. My guess is, they weren’t the first and probably won’t be the last. I’d like it if cash were still an option but it isn’t and it isn’t going to change anytime soon. It’s probably more about speed and efficiency for the concession workers to get through the customers standing in line. I do my part to help them by buying my Mike & Ike’s and Lemonheads at Walgreens before the game.
The jerseys that say ‘North Dakota’ take me back to the early 90’s. The teams weren’t very good and they’d just removed the classic Chicago Blackhawks Indian head logo which I was pretty bitter about. Am I correct in my recollection that those teams didn’t have much trouble scoring goals but sure couldn’t keep them from ending up in the back of our net as well?
The irony isn’t lost on me that I can’t stand DU while watching them play UND but I respect the hell out of their last four coaches-Frank Serratore, Gwoz, Monte, and Carle. They’re definitely ambassadors of the game.
Pardon me if this has been addressed but does anyone have any insight as to when we can expect to hear who’ll fill the last remaining two roster spots?
