Late Friday night, the Denver Pioneers were putting the finishing touches on their 20th win of the season. Minnesota Duluth had threatened to tie the game in the third period, but goals by freshmen Tyler Ruegsegger and Rhett Rakhshani less than three minutes apart had all but iced the victory for the Pioneers, the 100th for the current senior class.
Still, in the eyes of Pioneers netminder Peter Mannino, the evening was not yet complete.
"Peter Mannino was yelling at me from the net," Denver assistant coach Derek Lalonde recalled. "He said, `Put Kinger in. Put Kinger in.'" (rest of the story)

Nice article by Elliot.
Really good article.
Realy shows what a great person Peter Mannino is as well as Danny King.
Very nice article on Danny King.
I must say that last year during the Hobey Fan voting, that I was a bit miffed at the Pio fans voting for King who hadn't logged a minute of ice time during the regular season. However, after reading the article, I think it was a pretty cool thing you all did when I look at the result. Seems like the team and Danny enjoyed that bit of fun.
Good luck to Danny at JP Morgan!
