Five minute penelty against Minn. to start the 3rd period. Good chance to put the game away with another goal.
Tremendous team effort. Great coaching. Now to stay focused for next weekend!
I am curious to know, when was the last time that the Gophers were shut out at home for a weekend???
Great weekend for Gwoz, Chevy, and the team.
No let down for Kato next weekend.
Parents Weekend--win two for Mom and Dad.
Huge weekend for DU. The Pios took a major step forward and now seem to be gelling and coming together. Congratulations to Chevy!
Chevy's on FIRE! Are we really getting the tape delayed game tomorrow on FSN? I looked up the tv guide and it says HS volleyball is on.
Only if you get FCS-North. Its not on FCS Rocky Mountain.
Oh well....figures with FSN RM. Just have to wait till this weekend to see Pioneer hockey again.
Heck yeah, way to go, Coach! Nice game to all, we love Chevy!
When will Colborne be back?
Colborne has a titanium screw holding his fractured finger together. He suffered a serious broken finger with the bone coing through the skin. Doctors performed the surgery in Columbus after the Ohio State game.
He's seen a few doctors and some have said one, two or three weeks. It all depends on how fast it heals.
He was at practice last week participating in noncontact drills without a stick.
The way DU played this weekend there is not much pressure to rush him back until he's 100%
