Denver Post hockey guy Mike Chambers is reporting on his blog that DU center Jesse Martin's surgery to repair the fractures in his C2 vertebra went well on Monday in Minneapolis. However, it does appear that Martin's hockey career is over after the hit by North Dakota's Brad Malone.
Minnesota State will travel to Denver this week as part of its crazy October-November road swing. While MSU got swept at Nebraska-Omaha, Denver split a series with rival Colorado College, winning 4-1 and losing 9-2.
This seems to be as good a time as any to do a You Want Answers?!?!!? blog post. So go to the comments section below this post and ask away. I'll get the answers up on Thursday. (Note: Please no questions about the lineup/travel party. As always, that stuff will get reported on the blog Thursday or Friday. Just best to keep it out of the YWA?!?! Thanks.)

Injuries?
With the injuries the way they are and coach moving up Heath and Davis last week to fill in, what about Mosey? His bio had him as a F and converted to D in JR's. He has speed, shots well and strong in the corners? Of all our D men, he would seem more likely to be a good option. Just thinking of Schiller.
OK... Has the season even begun? Besides the team seeming flat, the MOJO around town and Verizon Center is FLAT. Could it be the terrible music they play which certainly would keep the students away. Or cause it is played way to loud and not even the players can think. Change is GOOD and the mood around the arena is FLAT.
So please pass this on to the arena tech committee who simply needs a student with an iPod and they will rock that place. They have 3 weeks until we return, surely enough time to make some changes.
1.what have the coaches had to say about 2012 commitment Dylan Margonari?
2. why is the schedule so imbalanced this year?
3.do teams like mass lowell and alaska help pay for travel costs?
BIGhkyfan certainly has a point concerning the use of Mosey as an emergency forward. He has evidently played F until the latter part of his Junior career.
Perhaps coach Jutting felt that given the limited resources on his bench, it was more important to maintain D stability to stem the tide. Unfortunately, it's necessary to score goals to win games. Something that has been a tremendous problem since the first day of the season. Too often it seems we are playing to not lose rather than to win, which can only end with an unsuccessful and very disappointing season for players and fans alike.
lead to a long, boring season
Continuing with my musical questions. Are there any plans, talks about getting a Jumbo Vision on the Verizon wall for replays and live action?
Is there an alum out there that could donate or spearhead a group to fund such an item.
You look at venues around the college ranks and all of a sudden, MSU is looking a little tired and it shows with the crowds (lack of).
I said it last year. A live pep band would be HUGE...
Thanks for the chance to ask questions and comment.
What caused Coach Jutting to change his coaching phiolosphy from high powered offense to defensive hockey? Jutting was on record just a few years ago that "kids like playing offensive hockey" and now it seems like he prefers a defensive style. What's changed? Is it the type of talent out there? A shift in his belief of what wins games? It's a much less exciting brand of hockey that the Mavericks play now.
Just a comment, not a question.
No pep band. They drive me nuts, and they take away student seats, so the student would not be as loud.
Maybe I can just bring my Ipod for them to play.
Mavfan4life...
Anything other than that same out-dated music played to loud. Anyone with the current knowledge of popular music would do a better job than what is going on now. People go for the entertainment in most cases more than the hockey. Just look at all the beer consumed. Sad but true.
When we sell-out, then worry about student seats...
Simple solution: Turn the volume down! I agree that the music is way to loud. A solution for warmups would be to let the players choose.
Also, I go to games to watch the hockey(as painful as that may be), and sadly I know that I am in the minority in that category. The student section is always sold out, so lets not mess with that. As for beer sales, this is why we need to move on campus, and eliminate liquor sales.And this from someone who just turned 21.
GO MAVS!!!
