is Murray or Brittain getting the nod tonight. Hopefully Brittain since Murray was shaky last night...

I'd be shaky too if I hadn't played for that long. IMHO, George needs to go back to rotating both of those boys.

Colorado College SUCKS. The ONLY reason DU lost to them so badly.... was because of the horrible charter bus company, with no air conditioning all the way down Interstate 25. That was the work of the mafia, alive and well here in Colorado. Scott Owens had the Mob Boss' coerce the bus company. Don't laugh; it's TRUE. Denver's 1st true bus road trip... and the A/C tanks???? C'mon. What do they plan for the next series? Go sabatoge all the C-Dot trucks... and they can't clear the interstate - so DU can't get down there to play? You heard it here first. The Mob has no business in college hockey. Sadly, they're in it though.

Brittain gets the start in goal tonight.

Lets hope Zucker can get DU off to another fast start.

I think Sam could throw down the shut out tonight. Makowski was +3 last night. Sweet pass on the PP by him last night. I really like the way the 15, 17, 18 line is coming together. Interesting that DU is coming into the break with 3.25 Goals per Game overall and 3.5 in the WCHA. There was a lot of talk at the beginning of the year that we wouldn't be lighting it up too much.

You think we have empty seats at Magness!! This game is all empty seats. What else is there to do in Ankorage? whatever it is, they are not doing it at this game. I would have guessed a full house.

UAA has had something like 15 losing seasons in a row.

A tie was the right result. Both teams played hard at times, and not at others.

Very happy with DU's first half when you consider what this team lost to graduation, early signings and injuries.

Yea, ties are great.

Good weekend for DU. 3 points on the road vs a tough UAA team--I'll take it. That wraps up a very good 1st half. I'm excited to see what this team can accomplish in the 2nd half.
