A little light show before the game. They did a great job with the video played on the scoreboard. [2048x1536]

Underway! [2048x1536]

Denver scores for a 1-0 lead, shortly after Maine had a goal disallowed for having a man in the crease. [2048x1536]

Denver returns for the third period. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]
The Denver fans sense something good as their team carries a 1-0 lead into the third. [2048x1536]
Getting late. [2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Maine is putting on the pressure. [2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Maine gets a power play in the final minutes of regulation. [2048x1536]
Oh but it gets better - 2 men in the box for Denver for most of the last minute and a half. [2048x1536]
Mad Maine scrambles. [2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
You can't come much closer than Maine did. [2048x1536]

[2048x1536]
How often do you see a team with a 5-on-3 power play pull the goalie for a 6-on-3 skater advantage? How often is it in the final minute of the national championship game when the team with the advantage needs a goal to tie? [2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Tons of redundant pictures, all trying to capture the tying goal, should it come. [2048x1536]
But it didn't. Denver wins the 2004 national championship. [2048x1536]
What a finish. [2048x1536]
National Champion Denver Pioneers. [2048x1536]
Second-place Maine. [2048x1536]
