            <description>Busy, chaotic, hectic, a whirlwind. Take your pick. It’s hard to summarize the past week in college hockey. Given how easy transferring is now, there&#039;s little pause taken to reflect on whether the moves are good or not. They just ... happen.Over 300 NCAA players have entered the transfer portal since it opened last Monday and, as of Sunday, over 150 remain without a new team. Some of those players...</description>

            <description>At the end of a game that saw Denver bend but not break, it was apparent that the Pioneers were well versed in what they were doing and how they were going to accomplish it.Denver hasn&#039;t always won Frozen Four games the pretty way during its remarkable run, at least on paper, often getting heavily outshot. But there is a method to the madness, keeping shots to the outside, not getting flustered, knowing...</description>

            <description>In Denver, at DU&#039;s Magness Arena, fans have grown fairly accustomed to tradition — including of course the now-longstanding tradition of winning national championships, a tradition that began with No. 1 in 1958 under Murray Armstrong and that continued on a memorable Saturday evening on the Las Vegas Strip, with the David Carle-led Pios extending their NCAA record total to 11.Tradition implies continuity...</description>

            <description>As skaters took turns hoisting the national championship trophy over their heads, blaring throughout T-Mobile Arena was “All I Do Is Win.”A typical song to play after championships have been won.But the song seemed especially poignant, given that Denver was doing the winning. Because, really, all Denver seems to do is win, win, win, no matter what.It was most aptly put by Paxton Geisel, a Denver...</description>

So, guess who it was?Guess again. And again. Once more, for good measure.Still guessing?“It was amazing to see Kent Anderson get...</description>

            <description>This year was going to be different, and for most of it, it was.Michigan has been loaded with talent over the last five years, and made four Frozen Fours. It&#039;s been similar in that regard to its opponent Thursday, Denver. But the one thing that Michigan didn&#039;t have was a national championship, and as a result, Denver zoomed past the Wolverines for most championships in history.But this year, Michigan...</description>

It was Hastings’ 10th season with the Mavericks. Minnesota State made...</description>

            <description>Kent Anderson, perhaps the most unlikely of heroes for Denver, crept down from the right point midway through the second overtime, took a feed from Kristian Epperson, and buried just his second goal of the season to send the Pioneers back to the national championship game.&quot;Our guys found a way to win a game,&quot; said Denver coach David Carle. &quot;Johnny was obviously excellent for us. Kent with a huge goal...</description>

            <description>A golden opportunity presented itself. North Dakota failed to seize it.When Wisconsin’s Joe Palodichuk was sent to the box for interference, it gave North Dakota 1:57 of 5-on-3 power play time.Trailing 2-0, it was the opportunity North Dakota needed. Up to that point, the Fighting Hawks were struggling to find their bearings. They were sloppy with the puck, slow to pucks and were being outplayed...</description>

At this time...</description>
