5 of 8 goals scored by Freshman.

Murray looked good in goal.

Close game for 2 periods and then the barn doors opened up for DU. Brittain will play goal tomorrow night against Lethbridge.

Strange game - don't read too much into it. DU was playing lots of guys that won't see much ice time. Took DU a while to get the legs going, but one they did, the 17 year olds for Team USA could not keep up and the game ended up as a blowout. Murray didn't face a lot of hard shots, but stood tall when he had to .

Zucker and Donovan took over the game.

Anybody else notice the icing calls? Is calling icing during the pk a permanent rule?

puck swami said...

No the icing rule is not permanent- they are just experimenting in exhibition games.

Amy said...

That's good. The icing rule really slowed down the pace of the game.

Hockey's finally back! Zucker was fun to watch.

Yes, an exhibition win a season makes. :D

The freshmen will probably have a harder time scoring against players that aren't 17yo. :)

DU looked fine-but don't get too excited because they will be middle of the pack unfortunately-UND looks to tough this year.

Anyone know why Jackson and Wrenn didn't suit up?

BTW, we went to C&G before the game and had dinner. The place was packed but the burgers were great and so with the margarita!

The Pronghorns are an older and stronger team than USA; so I tonights pre-season game will be a little more even. (I haven't seen how Lethbridge did in down Colorado Springs yet on Saturday) During warmups ..... did you guys see how big #1 is??? I thought he was the tallest guy out there. Sam is a friggin giant!

CC Defeated Lethbridge 5-1.

#4 Michigan opened their season against Mercyhurst and blew a four goal lead to tie 4-4.

Entertaining game last night. It was very cool to see the national team in person, and I thought DU looked solid overall. I liked what I saw of Murray in net, and this year's freshman class looks great. Looking forward to tonight.

According to Chamber's Blog...

UPDATE: Senior W Dustin Jackson (illness) and sophomore W Chris Knowlton (unknown) did not play and are doubtful for Sunday’s game against Lethbridge.

Scratched was sophomore William Wrenn, who is recovering from off-season hip surgery (UPDATE: He has a hamstring injury).

Those 17 year olds didn't know what a juggernaut they were up against.

The WCHA better watch out, as the road to the MacNaughton Cup will be coming through DU.

What a dynasty the Pios have going!

Zucker will win ROY going away. Book it!
