Godsmack

I'm at the CC game. Only CC can give up three shorties (all odd man rushes) on a five minute major power play. Extremely frustrating at the poor defensive positioning.

Is there a link to the ESPN top ten?

Hey! Mr. & Mrs. Godsmack will be there too!

Ball State vs. Northern Illinois in men's basketball is being aired first on CBS Sports.

In reading Candace Horgan's article in today's USCHO, how is it that Denver can finish no higher than second? Aren't they tied with SCSU right now? Couldn't they theoretically earn a share of the Penrose Cup?

The best part of this article are the fan commentaries at the end of it. I'm no Gopher fan by any stretch but I empathize with their fans' frustration-limited tv exposure and playing Sunday games....what's up with that?! The U brass keep claiming they had no choice but to leave the WCHA....really??? The BIG wouldn't have seriously consulted with Minnesota beforehand to get their thoughts on a BIG hockey conference? I find it hard to believe and as one Gopher fan put it, Minnesota saw big $'s and bit down hard.

I find it incredibly hypocritical of Blais to whine about teams who play on the big sheet of ice as having a home ice advantage when here they design their rink to have both penalty boxes on the same side of the rink as Omaha's bench. I wrote a letter to the editor about this a few months ago. The SC Times, GF Herald, and C Spgs Gazette printed it but not the Omaha Herald.

Thanks!

Any video highlights?

Check out this article by Jimmy Vesey....simply a wonderful article. http://www.theplayerstribune.com/jimmy-vesey-harvard-hockey/

This is getting fugly

5-0

Is Minnesota's Jake Bischoff any relation to former WCW/NWO great Eric Bischoff?

Well, of course. But in the meantime, I think that they can do more to get the word out about the team to generate a little interest.

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.
