Well yea. That’s an available number of seats thing.
TD Garden holds 19.5K...they announced 17 and some.
Fucking love it!!!!

17,850 was what they announced in arena. And noted it a sellout. ?♀️
Huh…lots of things changed pretty quick? So this end all be all Mankato team still hasn’t won the NCAAs? Just like that, they are like everyone else but Denver. Losing their last game if the season. I wonder if that means their program sucks and they need to change to an offensive style?
They can’t recruit the high end talent to play that style at this point. Hastings assembled a great grinder team who ran out of gas against a team who played them the same way and hit on their chances and Mankatos mistakes
I’m being sarcastic. I understand they need to recruit that way to be successful. It works for them.
Can we get a sad pic of POS Todd George crying after his team got “smoked”?

It was a sellout so, not for hockey? Not for this event? They’ve reconfigured this place a lot. It’s been different each of our 4 trips here.

I'd guess 19.5K is for basketball.
Damn impressive third period for Denver. You can always turn the tide if things go your way.
mmmmm kato tears mmmm
And in abundance… drink up!

I thought it was a very good crowd. The suites and whatever the things at the top of the arena is where I thought most of the empty seats were. Also, better than the sea of empty seats in Buffalo.
I was recently informed by a GPLer that I'm related to Airey
Denver coach is 32. Commence with younger than the players on MSU jokes in 3… 2… 1…
Hitting and skating through the neutral zone were the big difference in that period.

I don’t ever wanna hear shit about golden chokers from cows fans ever again or their 60 year old former players :rotflmao:
They were clearly the better team and absolutely choked that game away. Once Denver got a lead the game actually became watchable, the teams started trading chances and actually playing hockey which the Mavs weren’t exactly prepared for. At least there’s some justice in the hockey universe, seeing that trash brand of hockey win a national title would be hard to swallow.
Kind of bummed for Mankato to be honest. But I could not and would not root for them. Not really happy Denver won another one either. I am happy for the young coach for Denver though. That was an impressive performance.
Amazing how mediocre this Mankato team looks and how mediocre the Hobey winner looks when they can't sit back and trap or hook or hold or trip without getting called for penalties.
Mankato doesn’t run a trap. No one does anymore.
Unless you are using that term broadly when they aren’t giving up shots?
I don’t have any reason to hate Denver so they were clearly the lesser of evils for me in this game. Also because of them it wasn’t Michigan vs Mankato which would’ve really sucked.

They literally stack their own blue line with five guys like an Italian soccer team.

What is it called then when you load the neutral zone and push your opponent to the walls? Serious question so that we can properly label what the Mavs play.

Yeah we know it’s not a pure trap calm down
Credit to Denver. The fact that they were able to beat both Michigan & Kato is impressive considering the different styles of both teams. Deserving in the end.
Dogs won the title in 2018, then again in 2019, chance for 3peat snuffed out by Covid-19, then lose to eventual champ UMass in 2021 & Denver in 2022 (8 days after beating them at Xcel) . Mavs had Denver…then pee down their leg at crunch time and lose.
Early report from Mankato fans here are complaints about the third period penalty that led to the go-ahead goal.
No sympathy on that from us.

I was using it broadly to describe their boring ass game play.
David Carle could end up as one of the best ever with the runway ahead.
I feel bad for my two Mn. State fans, but after that…
Ole, Ole, Ole…

Keep your stick on the ice...
just asked a UND fan how they feel about being passed in the national championship rankings. They looked visibly pissed off. Then out of know where went on a rant about how the Big Ten sucks and this shows NCHC dominance.
I honestly don't get their train of thinking. What does the Big Ten have to do with a NCHC vs CCHA final? What a miserable bunch.
But what's the point of even asking that
Gophers would have gotten dusted off by either team tonight.
Denver just flipped the switch in the third period. As soon as they scored, they relaxed while the cows tightened their sphincters. Denver has that combo platter of speed, grit, and skill.
My boy Anthony is happy
Hey Todd George, the purple chokers just got f*ckin smoked by the same score. :good2:
I thought Bobby Brink was gonna get flipped a few years ago? :conf2: Too soon? 
:ahhh:

I had that exact conversation with a Mav fan today when I said that Denver would win 3-2 and he countered with 4-1 Mavs. He didn’t think Denver had speed, grit, and skill. I said that Denver was the same team as the Mavs except they had the talent along with the rest of that.

Meh. I was hoping for a Kato win for the state of hockey and not another NaCHo.
I’d rather watch paint dry…
I swear this couldn’t be any more boring! Denver is playing just awful and Mankato only scored on a PP? For F’s sake, the ice team is more interesting.
Not going to disagree with you on that..........
Well, poop.

Seemed like the right call.

32-1 when leading after 2

Did you really just ask someone, what's the point of bringing up a negative fact about their favorite hockey team?
Well, 48 hours later it’s less painful. Trust me, I know.
Great season and hard to get here in back to back years.

It was a fun ride. This was a damn good team and a fun one to watch. I know everyone doesn't agree with me and that's fine. I love watching high effort teams whether they focus.on offense or defense.
It will be tough to replace out 30 year olds, but I have faith Hastings will keep us moving in the right direction. The sun will come up tomorrow and it'll be another day.

Ha! When it rains it pours.
What a collapse by Mankato. Maybe they should ditch the Vikings colors.
Good. Fitting to see the purple cows lose. Especially with that social security drawing roster. I could only watch about 10 mins of their trash style of play before tuning out. Mankato is everything that’s wrong with college hockey.
Congratulations on a fine season. Hope you enjoyed the ride!

I knew it, they got all tired out playing the Golden Gophers! Next year the Gophers will be the number one seed and National champions. 
I don't understand the Mankato hate. They are good... And a win is a win and a title would be a title.
Agreed. They're 60-10-1 over the past two seasons, made the Frozen Four last year and are playing for the title tonight. If my team brings home a trophy I'm not concerned with style points.
1995, NJ Devils vs Russian Red Wings comes to mind....trap vs high flying....
You are correct; however, Neal Broten got to finally hoist the Cup and was almost a Conn Smythe winner so I’ll take it!
