Are they going to make me watch the games in Spanish like I have to watch them today on ESPN+?

I had to dig deep for the English language feed.

End of one period, Denver Pioneers 1 - Michigan Wolverines 0 in the first FF semifinal. Michigan's first SOG was recorded with less than 4 minutes left in the period. Pioneers are fast-fast-fast, double-teaming effectively on the Wolverines top offensive players, and hitting with authority. Michigan needs to carry their late momentum into the 2nd to keep DU from regaining their dominance.

As @JMCx4 noted, sometimes I've had to do some searching for the English ones. Somehow the Spanish broadcasts seem to come to the surface a bit easier

I looked and looked. It said if I wanted the English I have to be a TV subscriber. It's ok can't say I care much for ESPNs college hockey crew.

I'll second that sentiment.

 

[JMCx4]

End of two, DU 1 - M 1. Michigan must've read my end-of-1 post, adjusted offensively & started hitting back, and took over the game. Denver on their heels until the last 7 minutes, which included the first PP of the game which was unsuccessful. Great day for hockey.

 

[willy702]

Really good game so far. One thing I notice is that UM players try to make things happen and it sometimes leads to turnovers. They don't seem to just make simple plays which is what most teams would do at this point. Their stars are clearly talented players so cant fault them for trying but it could be why the best team on paper doesn't win a title.

DU went into full tournament mode with simple plays and D awareness weeks ago. They can grind and defend all night, just looking for a few opportunities to score.

End of regulation, tied 2-2. I need an antacid break.

DU WINS 3-2!!!! Carter Savoie with the GWG.

Great game. Congrats to Denver. They deserve to be in the finals. However, as a Michigan fan it was frustrating to see Denver with 3 power plays (2 of which were weak), Michigan 0 power plays, and several blatant no calls late when Michigan should have had their first power play. I cannot blame Denver for that, they played a great game, and deserve to move on. I am disappointed in the refs and lack of consistency on calling penalties the same way.

As a DU fan, thanks & I agree. Everyone was lucky that the GWG didn't result directly from a no-call.

Semi Game #2 in 10 minutes. Refresh your drinks & snacks.

As a DU fan, thanks & I agree. Everyone was lucky that the GWG didn't result directly from a no-call.

On the GWG it looked to me that 2 UM players skated by the puck just inside their blueline. Almost as if they thought the other guy was going to take it. DU kept the puck in and scored.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I'm a simple man. Michigan loses, I'm happy.

 

[JMCx4]

Game #2, end of one period, Minnesota 1-Minnesota State 0. Gophers goal a 2-on-0 tick-tack-toe-tap after a Mavericks' giveaway in the neutral zone.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Hard to watch Michigan lose. Lot easier considering how much Detroit talent is on Denver.

But how the f*** do you lose with 4 of the top 5 picks in a draft on your team?
