(above) Paul Stastny & his dad back in the dayDU alum Paul Stastny's phone rings most every non-gameday afternoon, his father calling to converse about family, European politics and mostly about hockey, all in Slovak.

There's been some questions if DU could replace Colborne's scholarship with a recruit at this late hour. Ryan Walters scored 61 points in the USHL this season and was MVP of the USHL All-Star Game. He would certainly be worth a look if DU had any scholarship money left. 35 schools were after him three years ago.
