Are you watching the game? I remember they had an unwatchable stream a few years ago.

No, I saw a post by ASU on Twitter for a save and you can see it on the visitor end of the rink.

 

Here is the stream, I forgot they do it on YouTube

We went to the CC/DU game last night. Some observations…

1. Ed Robson Arena was rocking. 3,900 in attendance, standing room only. Student section was full and loud for a change. Largest crowd in Robson arena history.

2.  You couldn’t have asked for a worse start for the Tigers-they got scored on 13 seconds in, then took an offensive zone tripping penalty by Noah Laba twelve seconds later, and DU rings one off the crossbar. It easily could’ve been 2-0 very early and a totally different game. Credit CC for the awesome tying goal as Laba came out of the penalty box, he snuck behind the DU defense and got sprung for a breakaway by a heads up pass from Drew Montgomery. That brought life back into the crowd as well who’d been silenced by Denver’s early goal.  
 

3. Lots of penalties both ways. Emotions ran high. Some dangerous hits, lots of stuff after the whistle. Five minute major for contact to the head call on DU at one point. 
 

4. CC was sitting pretty at 4-1 until about six and a half minutes to play when DU scored to make it 4-2. From there on, DU pulled Matt Davis and CC had difficulty gaining control of the puck and getting it out of the zone. 
 

5. Mbereko is an elite goaltender. The last handful of minutes, DU pulled Davis for an extra attacker and pretty much hemmed CC down in their own zone, applying big time pressure. Mbereko saved his teammates’ bacon on several grade A chances. These highlights don’t capture the two or three grade A chances DU had toward the end. Mbereko also got some major puck luck as well.

It would be interesting if they played the St. Louis Regional in the larger outdoor rink (4000 seat) and not the main rink (2500 seat). 

A lot of hockey going on there this year NCAA Midwest Regional, ACHA D1 Men's, ACHA D2 Men's, ACHA D3 Men's, ACHA D1 Women's, and ACHA D2 Women's all going on there this month.

Didn't realize Western Michigan loses basically their whole team next year. 

12 Seniors

5 Graduates

Some of those seniors could return for a 5th year, but yeah they'll lose a ton.
Could see Wendt signing as a free agent too with how many goals he scored this season.

They'll be like UND last season...they'll need to hit the portal hard.

5 of the defensemen also. If they were coming back, wouldn't they do a Senior Day for them next season?

2-0 Western Michigan 

Both goals short handed
