Denver leads Mankato 4-1

Damn! My feed is waaaay behind. It just went 3-1 in my reality.

[brianvf]

I wanted Mankato to win, but keeping it in conference is good too.
Now we'll just need to win next year to get into a 3-way tie with 9 titles.

what a meltdown....

[bcblues]

DU fans and players are going to be insufferable now.

A couple yrs ago, I would have been so excited to hear that Rizzo would ice the National Championship...

Do we know why he isn't wearing green?

not a grinder....

[burd]

Still, I like the title back in the NCHC.   The undisputed conference of heavyweights.   

[UNDMOORHEAD]

If Weatherby would have left earlier would Rizzo have been the player to come in?

[brianvf]

What a 3rd period meltdown for Mankato.  They completely dominated the first 5 periods of this Frozen Four, and then collapsed in the last period.

[sioux rube]

Denver had 8 shots after 2. 5 goals in the third. Wow 

[cberkas]

Denver beats Mankato for the National Title 

They tend to win them in pairs

The good thing about that is that there's only like 15 total DU fans on social media, so you don't hear from them much anyway.

Accurate assessment.

Perhaps DU just figured out how to beat that "smothering defense?"

[NoDak Fan]

The boys have some work to do next year!

My exact thoughts.

...and it's still 3-1 in my reality. Internet TV on Centurylink sucks!

[N of GF]

There it is. Now it's 4-1

[Kevin G]

Let's go ahead and win like four in the next five or six years.

They won #8 the season after UND won #8. So just gotta hope that UND returns the favor and gets #9 next season!

[N of GF]

oh. 5-1

[Prison_Mike]

Well, now there are two sports teams in Minnesota that wear purple and gold that are known for choking…

[Wilbur]

Its amazing what a goal does.  Chrona held the fort and they got their break and rolled with it like good teams do.

Good run for Mankato. 

[SiouxHawkGuy]

Heard “Denver University “ and “Minnesota” a couple times. 

[SIOUXFAN97]

denver now has more natty's than barry melrose has teeth left....

 

[brianvf]

DU stands to lose a ton this offseason.
Wright for sure gone.  Doubt Guttman or Stapley use Covid years.
Brink, Savoie, and Chrona will get pressure to sign, for sure.

That'd be 5 of their top 8 scorers gone plus their goalie.
Mazur and Rizzo will be a good core pair, but they'll get all the pressure with all of the above likely gone.

[N of GF]

So, uh. Silver lining; The F'n Hawks were 2-0 against the National Champions this season.
