Denver forward Tom May scored the deciding goal on a rush to the net in the second period as Denver won the WCHA Final Five title Saturday, beating Minnesota 2-1.
"I think I had my own cheering section tonight," May said. "It's great to come back and play in front of family and friends." Tom May wanted to give his friends and family something to remember in his final collegiate game in his home state.
With the game tied 1-1 late in the second period, May blasted past a Gophers defender and pushed a low shot past Minnesota goaltender Alex Kangas as the Pioneers (26-13-1) won their third league playoff title in the past seven seasons.

GO DU! Definitely made this old Pioneer Proud. Had to turn off the sound though since old Woog was was doing the color commentary. The two were leaning over so far for Minnesota they were already in position to pucker up to give them an ass kissing.
Woog's never given DU any credit, even when Minnesota get thoroughly trounced by them.
{Looks like I may still have some latent hostility in me from when he was coaching... :)
Wearing my Crimson and Gold with pride today...
Tom May was named athlete of the week by the DU athletic department at www.denverpioneers.com. Congrats to Tom on a spectacular weekend in St. Paul.
