Enough is Enough - DU Shuts Out UMASS 4-0

When the the historians look back on Denver's 2005-06 season, they might well focus on a bold pronouncement of a DU fan. PioneerOnTheHill2009 stated on Saturday morning, "If we lose to the MINUTE-MEN of all people, I'll run straight across I-25 without looking both ways. GET THE FREAKING WIN BOYS play your hockey."

Coach Gwozdecky might want to add a few "I-25 references" into his future pep talks, because it seemed to do the trick as DU ended a five game winless streak with a 4-0 victory. Peter Mannino secured his sixth career shutout and the DU defense looks to be rounding into form after allowing just one goal all weekend.

Gabe Gauthier, Matt Carle and Ryan Helgason scored first period goals as DU looked very sharp from the get go. DU's power play got back on track with Gauthier's goal.

Adrian Veideman, who's recently moved back to the blueline, scored a second period goal and had two assists. Playing defense has seemed to help his offensive production, as he produced his first collegiate three point game.

Peter Mannino stopped 27 shots for the Pioneers.
