ToDaClub Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Denver looks like they wanna get on a plane and head home. Quote
tnt Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Western is Denvering Denver, in their face all of the time, forcing Denver to defend and block shots. Usually it is Denver wearing down the opposing team in the offensive end. If a less talented team can do that, why can’t a team with more talent? It comes down to will and culture. 2 Quote

Expand Most guys who are more talented don't want to play physical "football mentality" brand of hockey. Everybody seems to be more of a skilled star growing up through minor hockey and then HS or junior. Ferschweiler has instilled some sort of mentality/culture/identity that has gotten a lot of JAGs to play inspired. Good for Western Michigan Quote

Expand Yeah that forward split is probably 8 and 4 or 9 and 3 and the dman split is 4 and 2 at best. Goalie split would be 2 and 0 Quote

Expand Other than Bump, players that have produced a lot better in junior hockey and have been drafted. Not saying they have played more talented. Just like the saying goes hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. Guys like Nehring and Slukynsky sure work hard. 2 Quote
cberkas Posted March 23 Author Posted March 23 Western Michigan continue this into the NCAAs, we need a new champion 2 Quote
TwamleyShuffle Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Zeev made a comment earlier this week that DU was undefeated at the X during his career. Yeah about that… Quote

nascar99 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 The fact that no one ever Kronwalls Bump means most players are pretty soft nowadays Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Great win WMU. Of course it is Bump who gets the GWG. Hope their success continues. Might as well win it all Broncos! Quote
nascar99 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Gotta give a ton of credit to Ferschweiler for recruiting some damn good players and turning nobodies into dudes. Slukynsky brothers were about to go to Northern Michigan and Bump was at Vermont before both programs lost their coaches, Ferschweiler comes off the top rope & steals em last minute. Helluva job Quote

Will be cheering for WMU and Maine the rest of the way...and then I hope Bump signs the day after the title game and UND never sees him again. 2 Quote

brianvf Posted March 23 Posted March 23 WMU outshot DU 29-11 from the 3rd period on...pretty impressive performance. They're gonna be a really tough out in the tourney. Quote

Expand Your grading scale appears to be “potential.” Mine is “results.” After 5 games of head to head competition, it’s painfully obvious to me who the better team was - and the gap wasn’t close.
