Denver didn't renew/fired Gwozdecky basically for this and he won back-to-back titles. He won 1 Conference and WCHA Tournament titles, missed 2 NCAAs, and made 1 Regional Final after the National Titles.
I like him and the Jim that replaced Jim Rich (this made me think of the 3 Jims from Shorsey ). He's not a big homer like others out there and has a sense of humor while doing color
Does it change anything if they still lose the first game in the NCAAs?
Progress sure, I'm thinking they end up a 4 seed taking on a 1 seed.
Winning now still not going to change the NCAA Tournament record if they make it and lose game 1.
