LetsGoDU Update: Turns out that Peter Mannino played junior hockey with Tom Pohl.Sometimes fans of other teams can sum things up better than sportswriters and bloggers. This comment was left by a Minnesota fan today and bears repeating.
I want to compliment the entire DU organization for being a 'class act'.
I'm a die hard MN fan and really appreciated a championship game that epitomized what WCHA hockey is all about. More importantly, I wanted to call out Coach Gwozdecky's comments and Peter Mannino's comments after the game. In the time each of them should have been celebrating their championship, each of them took the time to compliment the MN Gopher team for the efforts.
Peter Mannino could not have been more classy during his interview when he specifically gave his best wishes for Tom Pohl (Gopher severely injured in a previous playoff game). Congratulations on your championship and for being a CLASS ORGANIZATION!!!

I totally agree - DU is a class act and Peter Mannino has always impressed me on and off the ice!
This speaks volumes about Gwoz and his approach, his players, the character on this team, and having a perspective on things. Makes me root for the team even more.
When Mannino and Gwoz said what they said, it made me proud to be a Pioneer. Both knew their TV audience at that moment was primarily downcast Minnesotans, and to say what they said was appropriate and heartfelt. Bravo.
Very Classy, that was a great run by the Gophers to rise from the dead.
Agreeing to everything said on here... hats off DU. Good luck in the NCAA tourney.
gwoz is a toolbag we all know it. he thinks he controls the refs and sometimes does. its crazy. gwoz is a little weasel just how looks. if it looks like a rat, smells like a rat then its a rat with gay ties. you are taking gopher fans comments and you make it a story? wow, must be a slow week, oh wait there are regionals coming up so nice try to pat your coach and your toolbag tam on their backs. what a joke. hwo starts blogs about this crap..pretty funny like when you lose to a crappy ass uw team that isnt even .500. oph wait, when you lose you will blame the ncaa selection commitee wont you? like #2 denver gettign screwed in the regionals, babies..pathetic.
go buttram a goat, douche bag.
cc still a chokin' i see.
still no playoff championships plus 1957 just gets that much further away each year, asswipe.
go and splurge $.50 at randi's pawn shop, just to get yourself something nice.
10:58.....good post, nutsack. You're the same dude who poses as a CC fan but is actually a manure-for-brains UND fan. You had the really intelligent postings before the previous regular season meeting between DU and UND.
Did you make it out of the 2nd grade? You must have the intelligence of a geranium, schmuck. You'll get smacked......
Manno was on The Fan in Denver this morning and both Mike and Sandy acknowledged the classy move by him and Gwoz. Manno said he played with Tom in Juniors.
Chris,
Thanks for updating us.
dufoolsgocc: you are a true genius. cc has officially entered the choke zone once again. you're problem, lump nuts, is that you are jealous of the fact that du won in st. paul.
After the DU win my thoughts were they just won the WCHA and first start talking about Tom Pohl. I was in shock! I all I can say is WOW what an organization.
Oh to the CC idiot.
1957
