They won... but they still played like dirty commie's without a leader! Get your shit together DU...
Has any DU guy ever left after just one year? I can totally see Zucker not being here, 12 months from now.
Plenty of DU guys have left after a year. Most famous of them was Glenn Anderson, who went on to a Hall of Fame NHL career.
First rounder Craig Redmond, who started playing with DU at 16 years old, also left a year in a DU uniform for the Olympics and the NHL.
A couple of obscure ones:
Dean Williamson, transferred to Minny after a season
Jason Fairman, a Colorado native who transferred to Cornell after a season
(Hey, you didn't ask WHY they left..... ;) )
Here's a unique question:
Who can name the player (the only DU player which I am aware of) who was actually granted a 6th year to complete his 4 years of eligibility? Normally a player only gets 5 calendar years to complete their 4 years of playing eligibility. Hint: it occurred in the past 20 years.
Nice to see Zucker celebrate with the student section...he looked right at them after both goals. That kid is ultra exciting. What's the latest on Nick Shore?
Nick Shore still has a cast, which goes about half way up his forearm. I overheard him last night talking about a bone-growth injection he received to try and speed up his recovery. His return does not sound imminent...
Ken MacArthur was the six year man. He played for Team Canada for a while, too.
MacArthur's Career:

Will Justin Jones see any ice time this year? I don't think he even played pre-season. Does he practice with the team?
Was it Brent Cary?
Figures....Swami with knowledge.
I personally have not gone to practices this season, but if he's on the roster I'm sure Jones is practicing with the team.
Brent Cary would have been a logical choice. But, alas, he did not receive the same gift MacArthur did. Brent Cary had about the most unfortunate career of almost any DU player I can remember: Torn up knees, a broken neck in practice and so forth...
Tough hard-fought win for DU last night. The Badgers may have lost a lot of talent from last year's team but they are still a very formidable foe. Great to see Zucker come up big, especially after that cheap shot by Smith. That kid should have been tossed from the game.
