Godsmack

Last Thursday, I had suggested to a buddy, that CC/World Arena ought to have given away some unsold tickets for the CC/DU game to the local youth boys and girls hockey teams and/or other young people in the Colorado Springs area. Doing something like that could accomplish a couple of things: generate goodwill among the community, fill more of the arena with parents and kids (also resulting in more concession sales), and try to re-generate interest in the CC hockey program in the community. Gosh knows the program needs to do a lot of work to generate interest in the team. I guess what I'm saying is, use the free tickets as a loss leader.

Hopefully we don't adopt something similar to the jelly donut bird that DU used to have in the late 90's/early 2000's! Remember that confusing looking thing?!?!

I wonder if the NCHC would ever consider the experiment of rotating the Frozen Faceoff among different locations? I think that could potentially generate fan interest.

Good blood lines in the Rau family. Brother was a good player at CC.

Cheering for Denver is like cheering for the Russians. I just can't do it.

Tonight's CC/DU game will be on tv. Channels 628, 640, and 665 alternate on Direct TV. 7pm MST puck drop.

The letsgodu blog is at it again this week with some really funny stuff! Check this out! http://letsgodu.com/2016/02/18/colorado-college-jerseys-revealed/

DU fans (all fifteen of them) make the same exact comments about GF as folks from the TC. Funny though how many people here in Denver drive home in their steel coffins on that long cummute, enter their front doors, close the blinds and don't come out until the following morning when they begin their commute back to work.

That second period was painful to watch. Back to back odd man rushes, incl a four on one. Thank God Chyzyk hustled back and broke it up. Six shots on net and too many penalties.

Kate and Dan will be there.

In Thompson's defense if we are going to cherry pick only missed plays, I gotta mention a particularly great play by him....about seven and a half minutes left in the third period and he joins the rush, we get a scoring opportunity but the play immediately turns back the other way. Thompson is behind the DU net, busts his but the other direction, and catches up with the DU puck handler all the way down in our zone and breaks up what might have been a great scoring opportunity for them.

I thought Cam did as well as to be expected. Those fourth and fifth goals, he was left out to dry. Sat at other end of ice, how in the world did we turn the puck over and give up that shorty?

Because CBS Sports is showing a double header. WMU at Omaha is game one.

Definitely more UND fans in here

Unfortunately yes!

Just arrived at the Crimson and Gold. Already a bunch of UND fans here. Will be packed within the hour.

Your comment is classic! You should post your comment on uscho in response to this article!

Glad to see the letsgodu blog back up and running! Always good for a chuckle or two as they poke fun of UND and CC! Always in good fun though, IMO. http://letsgodu.com/2016/02/11/north-dakota-departs-grand-forks-for-denver/

Any word on any injuries in the DU lineup?

Tickets for both nights have been sold. Dan

No, the battle on Blake game will be televised. I just saw a commercial for it.

My buddy who's a Northeastern fan jokingly refers to the Beanpot third place game as, "The Northeastern Invitational."

I think because this is a non conference game, they can do 20 min OT.
