Godsmack

I might have an extra ticket for tomorrow night’s hockey game if anyone wants it. It’s in electronic format in a PDF file. I’ll know for sure tomorrow but I don’t think we will get plowed out here in Monument.

Frank Serratore faces all kinds of obstacles and his teams seem to overachieve. It really is inspirational. That, and Frank gives some of the funniest, most candid interviews in the business. He definitely doesn’t partake in the usual “coach speak.”

Good place to practice as it’s at well over 6,000 feet above sea level.

I just played at Air Force the other night. They have really good ice, probably the best ice in town.

UND will not make it to Magness this afternoon to practice as I-25 northbound between Monument and Castle Rock is still closed. I wonder if they’ll practice at World Arena instead?

I follow the B1G Mistake Facebook page and based on the commentary from its founders, part of the reason for the poor attendance is a multitude of reasons including, fan apathy, the university administration price gauging its season ticket holders (they recently revamped their pricing structure), poor fan experience (poor quality of concessions, high prices, no beer sales), lack of long standing rivals, etc. Basically, the long term season ticket holders have not been renewing and year over year, season ticket holder numbers have been dropping. I’m sure this isn’t an exhaustive list but the sense I get is that Gopher fans are tired of being taken advantage of and taken for granted by the Athletic department.

I liked what Jake Brandt said during Saturday’s broadcast about how so many times guys are trying to pick corners and oftentimes miss and that it’s sometimes better to simply put the puck on net and play for rebounds. I get why guys try to hit the corners, because these goalies are so big and athletic but throwing one off their pillows and crashing for rebounds can be effective too. Hopefully we’re successful at both this weekend.

Canisius’ season has come to an end today, losing 2-1 to Niagra.

What’s up with the Wisconsin/Penn State not being televised today???

Glad to help assure at least one more fan in green will be attending!

There are a couple of nearby bars-Crimson and Gold is the closest UND hang out to Magness but Spanky’s as well as the Pioneer aren’t too far either.

Seriously, the way CC celebrated at the end, you would’ve thought they won the natty! We have been the little kid brother to DU for six consecutive seasons so this was incredibly gratifying. The Gold Pan comes back to Colorado Springs!

CC includes first round tickets in our season ticket package....of course, that only comes in useful if the team earns home ice which they haven’t done since roughly 2012!

It finally felt good to walk out of Magness Arena on the right side of the scoreboard. Alex Leclerc, as usual, bailed us out last night!

Well, it was no Picasso but CC held on. Leclerc stood on his head.

The 16 time world heavyweight champion Ric Flair said something similar....”To be the man, you gotta beat the man.....WOOOOOO!”

I’m sure you could sell them for a pretty penny to the droves and droves of DU fans who travel to watch them play on the road.

E is just a pipe dream for us. We will stick with the K league thank you very much!

Win or lose, we always cap off every game with a few brews!

Trainwreck

Man, Western dropped like a stone in water the past few weeks! Weren’t they something like 8th in the PWR a few weeks ago going into the CC series?

You hate to pick your opponent, but I’d least like to play Denver. I’d take my chances with Western or even Duluth over the Pios.
