Pos.	Player, Team	The Dean's Take
G	Peter Mannino Denver Most Outstanding Player	At the beginning of the season, if there was a question mark about Denver it was their goaltending. They way they rotated goalies until this weekend pushed both of them to improve. He was the difference, and deserved to be named the Most Outstanding Player.
D	Matt Carle Denver	What more can you say? He's been at Denver for two years and they've won two national championships. He's very good with the puck, but what impresses me so much is how he jumps into places and plays without the puck.
D	Brett Skinner Denver	He got really nailed right off the bat tonight, but came back and had a good game. I've been impressed with his whole career in Denver. He's very solid, very effective. DU plays so big in front of the net, and he's a big part of that. He loves blocking shots and I think that's contagious.
F	Gabe Gauthier Denver	The important thing is that he always seems to be in the right place at the right time. He's a forward that you notice, and you notice even more because he is always in position.
F	Paul Stastny Denver	The fact that he could come in and be as much of an impact player as a freshman is impressive. Obviously he comes from good hockey heritage, and you can see that in the way that he sees the ice so well.
F	Travis Zajac North Dakota	I really enjoyed watching him develop as the season progressed. He's really effective in tight. He's a big guy, he's got great stick skills and is very effective in close.
