(left) The official logo of the eventJust hours before the National Championship game in the Pepsi Center, a different brand of hockey took place in DU's beautiful Magness Arena. In front of 6,400 mostly empty seats, some of the most ferocious internet posters in college hockey participated in the annual USCHO.com Posters Game. The pace was slower and less skilled than the Notre Dame vs. Boston College championship affair, but was just as passionate and enthusiastic.
Witnesses described the game as a rousing success and not without it's share of great moments and a couple of low lights as well.
The game featured the home team (white jersey) Baconators and the visiting team (dark jersey) Vagalanche. The Vagalanche defeated the Baconators 8-6 and were lead by Geist and shrader who each had two goals. brianvf and MAV each also had a goal and MNS had a few assists in the game. The Baconators had a hat trick from DU's USCHO beat writer Candice Horgan and two goals from Lord Sidious.
The Who's Whining Now Blog handed out post game awards and recognition.
This year for the first time, the ice time was sponsored and donated by LetsGoDU and several DU alums. The entire event was organized by Denver based hockey writer Theresa Spisak.
In 2009 the game will be held during the Frozen Four in Washington D.C.

Love my 'logo'...:)
The guy with the UNH jersey in the pic looks like he is having a stroke on the ice :)
I don't think Mowers was having a stroke. If he did, he fully recovered in time for the champ game a few hours later. :)

Actually, the guy with the UNH jersey's dad passed away due to complications from a stroke. But if it makes you feel good about yourself, go ahead and make fun of the picture. I agree, it's far from his ruggedly handsome usual appearance.
Guys, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for providing the ice at Magness. Fun experience and appreciated.
I should have played more forward to get some more stats. Let's all be glad gscott13 didn't suit up.
You guys are Collar Up all the way.
Congrats to BC on the championship.
Denver wins championship in Boston, BC wins championship in Denver. We're even. :-)
Mowers10 - poor choice of words (unknowingly) my bad. However, it was all in jest and not meant to be malicious so don't get your panties all in a wad. If you think that the guy is ruggedly handsome well, that's your business...
