I've been to their barn, it's nice.  Since Bonni and I are planning on moving there after the girls graduate, that sounds like a damn good excuse to visit.

Great reason to visit, but what's the reason for moving there? If I can be so bold to ask?

My wife hates the east, we both love the west, I'm not going to stick my head in an oven for 8 months (Arizona), and it's good for both our careers (job security, thy name is full scope poly).

I'd prefer Denver, personally.  We'll see.  Springs has socio-political drawbacks (the population makes the Taliban look enlightened), but maybe there are pockets of sanity.

And there's waking up to this every morning:

Trotsky, my wife and I moved to Colorado Springs in 2003 for job and outdoorsy reasons.  I grew up in Ithaca and went to Cornell.  Politically it is quite backwards, but in terms of quality of life, cost of living, friendly people, a relaxed atmosphere, and of course the outdoors & scenery, we absolutely love it.  And, yes, it's easy to keep following college hockey here -- although I still prefer the intimacy of Lynah.

It sounds like you've already done some research, but if you want another point of view, I'd be more than happy to chat with you.

Is it coincidence that Minnesota has 666 points?

Well, he did take a calculated penalty in the second period that led to Cornell's only goal.  I would have given him the second assist on that goal.  

No kidding.  We have 4 losses all year long.  Some claim that it's because of our weak schedule, but Minnesota I believe is 4-4-1 this year against teams NOT under consideration.  Ridiculous.

Game over.  1-0 Denver.  CC did very little late in the game.

Looks like Minn, going 0-2 this weekend, will still get the #1 seed.

Icing on Den.  10 sec left.  6x5.

Timeout CC.

Pulling the goalie, 1 min left.

CC had a 2-1 SH and did nothing with it.

I had the timing slightly off in my last post.  Now 94 sec. left in the game, 0:36 left in Den PP.

Stupid penalty on CC, 20 seconds before the end of their PP, 2:00 left in game.  CC not looking good.

Half of PP gone.  1 decent shot, saved.

No problem.  4:40 left, 1-0.  PP coming up for CC.

I'll post updates since I'm watching the game in my home in Colorado Springs.

CC dominate the first period and a half but couldn't convert.  They helf Denver scoreless on a 1:50 5x3 midway through the second, but gave up a pretty PP goal late in the second.

There's now 7:30 left in the game, and CC has looked flat in the 3rd.  Both goalies have been outstanding.

A second goal by Denver waved off for a skate in the crease with 12 minutes left.

1-0 Denver leading CC after 2 periods.  PP goal for Denver off the inside of the post late in the 2nd.

CC has looked dangerous but just hasn't been able to convert.
