  1. I found this video of William Wrenn getting beat down in front of the opposing bench in a game with the Portland Winterhawks. There are two fights in the video, his is the second one. Thought some Pioneer fans might enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt69-0oucNw

  2. We will no longer be allowing Swami comments on this Blog. Comments will also be deleted immediately that contain slurs, excessive profanity or personal attacks.

    It still OK to slam, slander or insult me.

  3. Seriously Donald? or is it Randy May? What did you do with DG?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Definitely donald-esque, with disappearing comments that aren't even rude, bombastic or condescending

  6. Thanks DG, I for one am getting tired of the vitriol from anon posters.

    I respect Puck Swamin's insight into the sport, and he is dead on most of the time.

    I can do without the foul mouthed trash talk.

  7. Good move on the Swami front. Obviously there are a few jackasses out here who like to stir the pot and make dumb comments about Swami.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I agree! To heck with these anonymous weasels and jack*****! Gas them all!

    If "spot on" means saying we suck all the time and apologizing for winning then "spot on" he is.

    SInce when this joint get all G-Rated and sh**? What's next a daffodil-themed backdrop? Where's the 'edge'? I thought this a "If You Can't Stand the Heat, Get the Eff Out" type of blog?

  9. Chancellor Coombe has to be laughing at the politically correct solution to the Swami dilemma that you were forced to make. I know I am. Hopefully you will handle the criticism as graciously as he did.

    ReplyDelete
  10. lol. dg, please don't ban boone too. a lot of people find him very offensive too.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Chancellor Coombe made a PC decision based on a few whiners. DG did same thing here.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Can't believe DG caved. CAVED!!! Swami has thick skin doesn't he? Maybe not. But, nonetheless, I'm disappointed in the solution. Part of the appeal of this blog is that people can post what they want. Please rethink this here solution DG.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Start your own blog where you can control the content! This obsession with Swami is insane.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I thought this blog was about hockey or something?

    ReplyDelete
  15. It used to be about DU hockey.

    Charlie Sheen said it best...

    "I'm so tired of pretending DU hockey isn't just perfect with our team winning every weekend, and we're not just perfect and bitching and just delivering the goods at every frickin' turn. Look what I'm dealing with, man. I'm dealing with fools and trolls. I'm dealing with soft targets, and it's just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee ... they watch their ugly teams in their ugly uniforms and just look at their loser lives and then they look at DU and say, 'I can't process it.' Well, no, and you never will! Stop trying! Just sit back and enjoy LetsGoDU, the best college hockey blog on the planet."

    ReplyDelete
  16. All I can say is that this whole "controversy" his piqued interest this past week and people seem more impassioned...and the amount of comments has risen on this blog this week. Maybe this passion will have a positive effect.

    GO PIOS.

    ReplyDelete
  17. P.S. (post script, not the swam)

    A stirring of the pot has to be done once in a while. A bit riled up, I hope we are. No more laissez fare for the rest of the year!

  18. We are not forbidden about talking about what an idiot dubbie31 is or dubbie31 pinatas are we?

    ReplyDelete
  19. dubbie31 pinatas will move into the manufacturing process over the summer and be ready for next season. Not sure if they will be filled with dumdums or what yet as the design is in flux.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Charlie Sheen must of taken over the blog... all this crap makes no sense. lol

    ReplyDelete
  21. Dubbie31 doesn't even post over here to the best of my knowledge. No reason to hate on him either. I have already contacted Damien Coombe about your foul mouth.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You DU alumni have spent your entire life having people tell you how great you are. Now someone kicks you around a little bit and you can't take it. Grow the "f" up. Back off on the smug attitudes and people will be respectful.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Do you really think that telling us smugness pisses you off, will cause us to be more humble?

    Good luck with that.

    ReplyDelete
  24. It's hard to be humble when you are as great as I am!

  34. On another note, I heard yesterday morning on 850KOA radio that Denver was named #10 by Sports Magazine on thier list of the most miserable sports cities in America. ??? And what really pissed me off, is that the radio hosts were all in agreement... saying the Avs suck, the Broncos are at rock bottom, the Rockies suck, and of course Carmello left so the Nuggies suck (I'm just quoting the radio hosts, people).... and NOT ONE FRICKING MENTION about the great Denver Pioneer Hockey team. I was so angry. If I could have reached my cell phone while driving, I would have called in to ask WTF they're talking about - and why they don't mention DU Hockey. The mainstream sports fans in this state are so out of touch.

    ReplyDelete
  35. While I am more than happy to take well reasoned criticism from anyone, I respect DG's decision. This is a DU blog, and discussion should be about that first and foremost. DG was also right that the discussion wasn't going anywhere.

    I am always happy to engage on substative DU opinion, but I am no good at smack talk or outright insults. So if you go that route with me, you won't get much back.

    Well spoken.

    I’m on a quest to claim absolute victory on every front.

    ReplyDelete
  38. OK, I'll save swami the trouble:

    SCSU is such a solid team that they are so much better than their record, while DU has so many holes that it is incomprehensible that this team is in 2nd place. The prediction is that DU will be lucky to escape with a point and if, by chance, DU manages a win an apology to the SCSU fans is in order since a crap team like DU should do nothing else but get kicked by SCSU.

    Yes, that should just about sum it up

    ReplyDelete
  39. DU Pregame Check List:

    1). Listen to Charlie Sheen motivational speaker CD.

    2). Score first goal of the game

    3). Don't give up any shorthanded goals

    4). Pass the puck to Zucker every time

    5). Clear space for Makowski's 190' bombs

    6). Use Hulk Hogan "Hand to the Ear" goal celebration after scoring

    7). During TV interviews with Alana Rizzo make at least two Boone references

    ReplyDelete
  40. 8). Ignore all internet postings from certain fans that the team sucks and is finished.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I was impressed by DUs rebound on Saturday at Omaha. Getting Ostrow back is big too, and I think DU will take 3 points this weekend against an improved SCSU team.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hard to believe this is the last weekend of the regular season. DU needs to send the seniors out in style, play hard for 120 minutes this weekend, and hopefully get a good start for a change and get the crowds engaged.

    On another note, there's an interesting article on the WCH blog on former Pioneer William Wrenn and his success in the WHL.

    ReplyDelete
  43. And BE NICE! No suspensions from here on out. NO FIGHTING ~ that means you, Mr. Makowski. If someone says something out there to make you cross - just smile and say, "stupid is a stupid does, sir"......Kaptain Kyle's back in charge tonight

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think there is a plot by the band to make this blog more PC. They want to stop certain people from making negative comments about the team and the those that support them.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Code Red? Why are we wearing St Cloud colors?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Eric Bacher, the University of Denver Sports Information Director, was quoted by Gwozdecky as having a problem with negative comments.

    People are welcome to make Anonymous comments on this blog. Say what you want, but be mindful that kids who love college hockey might be reading, so keep the swearing to to the same level as your reading comprehension.

  67. Who will DU be playing next weekend? or, is that depending on what transpires today and tomorrow still?

    ReplyDelete
  68. DU will play in Magness Arena next weekend against Minnesota State, Bimidji State or UAA.

    DU will be either the 2nd or 3rd seed.

    ReplyDelete
  69. To be fair, most of the people that post here don't go to the games. When they do attend it is in a high state of insoberiety. How then would you expect them to know the opposing team's colors?

    Lets hope the Magness faithful bring it tonight and tomorrow.

  85. I don’t know about a plot by the band to make this blog more PC. But there is a drive to support rather than tear down the DU hockey team. A drive led by our almost forgotten mascot. Ruckus to the rescue!



    That’s a joke son

    ReplyDelete
  86. Do NOT underestimate the band.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Hulk Hogan Hand To The Ear really? That’s the best you could come up with? There is so much material to work with and THAT’s what you chose?

    When Hulk Hogan joined DX they had a very simple phrase that would work ever so much better. It sounds really familiar. It would go something like this: If you don’t think DU is going to win - if you talk smack about our players or our team – “we got two words for you, Suck It!”




    That’s a joke son

    ReplyDelete
  88. @ anon 5:00

    I’m not sure I have even met Randy May. Also, I’m not the pussyfooter – that was someone else.

    Anyway, it’s in CC’s best interest for DU to do well this weekend. So good luck I guess.

  93. Code red? Terrible. Empty seats and du looked terrible. Hope saturday brings better play. I was hoping that with ostrow back the team would have some spark.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Anyone want to explain to me again why Donovan is so great? He got burned on the GWG and is -3 over the past 6 weeks or so. He's directly responsible for at least 2 of the 4 shorties we gave up the past 2 weekends.

    Why is he still playing in key situations? Why do we still go with 4 f's and 1 d on the PP? It hasn't really produced anything at all except shorties.

    9 out of 10 games we give up the 1st goal. 4 out of 5 weekends we lose on Friday. I'm very pessimistic about the next few weekends, and no I'm not Swami or pessimistic fan.

    ReplyDelete
  95. This team is fading.....that's the unfortunate reality.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Another disappointing turnout by the Students. No Boone either. Donovan was sloppy and at times Brittain looked like he was looking for Waldo in the stands. (should have been easy because there were plenty of open seats). The games that we've lost in the past weeks definitely would make Murray Armstrong roll over.

    Motivation Points:
    Being Shellacked by CC in November
    Jesse Martin
    The Chief Passing
    Multiple "one and done" Tourney appearances

  97. Hi everybody, it's me....Anonymous. Just got home from Da' Game. I posted earlier here that we'd hit 100 posts .... and Goddamit, here we are !! Boom Boom on your Bitch Ass! I had been reading this blog all week, thinking tonight would be a wild, crazy, rocking, red-wearing crowd... NOT. Someone forgot to tell the band about tonight..... What the hell??? Were all the students at Park Meadows Mall for the Bomb Scare & evacuation???
    Denver Pioneers are not strong on the puck - end of story. The way these guys are playing, only possible thing that's going to get them into next month.. is Goaltending.. end of story. Sad but true. This level of play won't cut it for the one and done post season... I'm only stating fact. What Canadian team do we host in October??? I'm just sayin'......

    ReplyDelete
  98. While I'm certainly no Swami when it comes to suffering fools gladly, this outbreak of anonymouos comments from CC fans whose "Pos T Vacs" are delayed in shipping, is really a bit much.

    ReplyDelete
  99. The DU band is in Hot Springs, Arkansas this weekend supporting the DU Hoops team in the Sunbelt playoffs.

    There was no atmosphere in the building. In the offseason the Athletic Department should take a serious look at its game night production, marketing, music and promotion.

  100. So much for fan support, why would Gwoz want to stay if nobody gives a s##t.

  101. No one is curious about Todd Anderson's early whistle on a potential DU goal (it did cross the line) in the first period?

  102. Senior night tonight. A lot of positive things to celebrate.

    Jesse Martin and the other seniors will sure get a well deserved ovation between the 1st & 2nd periods.

    Maiani will be back in the lineup and DU will have their full roster (minus Martin) for the first time in five weeks.

    GO DU.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Wow DG you got all that from watching TV? Or did you actually go to the game?

    ReplyDelete
  107. Lee did swipe that puck in underneath his foot, but Anderson blew the whistle and wouldn't look at it. The guy is such a coward, yet is too prideful for his own good. He's extremely unprofessional. How is it interference on Nutini if the puck is at their feet? Plus the inadvertent whistle for "too many men" coming from they guy that was on the far side was not a good move by Shepherd. Not a good officiating night.

    ReplyDelete
  108. That being said, they didn't decide the game.

    Also, DU will assuredly win tonight. It's senior night, so Jesse Martin will be on the ice again. We're 2-0 so far when he makes an appearance.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Gwozdecky was out coached in opinion. Tonight is a big game for Denver. Don't think "The Cloud" isn't ready and waiting - and capable -to ruin this little "assured" code red win. Put yourself in Cloud's skates.... imagine the surge they'd get by sweeping DU here, on Senior night.....scary. Play like you can Denver... play like you can. Why the hell is tonight not on TV? Poor planning by both DU and "root". Will this thread rack up 150 posts????

    ReplyDelete
  110. Maybe Gwoz is the problem. Everyone seems scared to say it, but come on, DU hasn't won a tournament game since 05. Nobody gets a free pass. Everyone's tired of the postseason crap. Maybe his message is getting stale.....

    ReplyDelete
  111. @ anons 1:37 & 1:45..................

    I think your panties are getting a little stale, girls, as is your message.

    "The sky is falling...The sky is falling...we lost a game the world is over...the sky is falling..."

    Look. You win some and you lose some. The point is to win many more than you lose and position yourself for the highest seed possible for the tourney and take it from there. That's what Gwoz and this team has done so far. If they're cut out to go far, then they will; If they aren't then they won't. End of story. A utopic garden of babylon will not sprout on campus if they go all the way and a giant sinkhole will not swallow the campus if they don't. Life will go on no matter what. Now go dress in crimson & gold and help cheer on the Pios tonight...

    ReplyDelete
  112. Their point wasn't that we've lost just one game and the sky is falling. It's been 6 years and the sky is falling.

    ReplyDelete
  113. 2:23....you miss the point. DU has had solid regular seasons. That's not the issue. But every season since 2005 DU has sucked in the playoffs. That's the problem. It's not one year or two years....it's 6 years running. That's not a fluky ocurrence. It's a bad trend.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Um DU fans ...

    When I want to twist your overly sensitive nipples I'll do it by posting with this name. Just like I am here. You can count on that. I don't post anonymously anywhere. Ever.

    And though I don't really "get" what it's all about ...

    Free Swami!!!
