Congrats to Donovan.

Too bad Donovan plays for the biggest joke in New York....maybe other than the Mets

Donovan didn't look bad out there especially since he had to play against Ilya Kovalchuk most of the night. He ended up even for the night.

These kind of inflammatory designed to raise du78's blood pressure will not be tolerated...even if true. :-)

Top line for the Maple Leafs--Kessel (Minn)-Bozak (DU)--Frattin (UND). 8 points on the scorer's sheet. Also scoring Colborne (DU), Crabb (CC), Gardiner (Minn).
WCHA All!

Don Cherry isn't impressed with all the Yanks on the Maple Leafs roster.

Funny video...

Hey fan, they won't be a joke in coming years, because of thier favorable draft spots. Speaking of.......Sophmore Nelson from UND is leaving the Sioux to join the Isles. He roomed with Mayfield at thier Camp last summer. I hope he doesn't try to put those kind of "leave after 2 years" thoughts in Scott's head at this year's camp. I could totally see those 2 on the same line.

Mayfield is a defenseman, not a forward.

He's is still growing into his body, and defensemen usually take longer than forwards to turn pro.

You see Frattin sticking up for Bozak!? Granted he got his arse handed to him, but who says there is no love between the Sioux and the Pioneers. Kessel (Goofs) stood and watched!

Just watched the video. Very cool of Frattin (as much as that pains me to say).

You might upset Aluuum by condoning fighting.

Like to see Rakhshani up! Come on Isles... I thought Donovan finished -1

du78 said...

Yeah,he was minus 1. He was probably out there for the Devils' empty netter at the end.

du78 said...

Matt also had the 2nd most minutes (20:57) of all players behind Streit (22:20).

FYI, according to the Denver Post, Erik Johnson, DU's women's hoops coach will leave DU to accept the head coaching job at Boston College, where he was previously an assistant for several years.

Bummer for DU...Erik took over a team that had begun to flounder a bit and immediately brought a winning record and attitude to Magness. Plus, he recruited good kids that did what they were supposed to do, both in and out of class.

I hope that doesn't impact the signing of that star female hoops player they just inked.

Can't blame Johnson for taking an ACC head coaching job with what is likely to be a significant raise in pay.

I hope DU does not cheap-out on a local hire for the new coach. Being in an assistant from a high profile program.

I heard that Condelezza Rice can ball it up and is looking for a head coaching gig.

Condi is a sports geek .She can do it. Plus we can save money by also giving her the chancellor position which she can handle in her spare time.

That's it!--Condi,Condi,Condi
