Best scoring chance for MSU since the goal was a little turnaround shot near the right post by LaFontaine. Don't think Walsh saw it, but LaFontaine needed to get it in the corner, instead put it in the goalie's chest.
I think Stepan's going to be a heck of a player but needs to get stronger.
Another Bemidji penalty. Tripping. This is what MSU did in the first last night: control play and draw penalties. Gotta finish chances though.
Same group as last time except Gervais instead of Stepan, who just finished a shift.
Second unit is McInnis, Blueger, LaFontaine, Jutzi, C. Nelson
Mavs appeared to score but a late whistle from the ref who thought Walsh had frozen the puck earlier.
If the scoreboard is right, MSU had four shots on goal during the PP. It's 7-3 now.
Huggins gets aggressive and makes a nice save against Hartmann
3 minutes left in the period, still 1-0 Mavericks
Great chance for Bemidji misses wide. Crowd oohs and aahs
Another BSU penalty coming up
1:39 left in the period. MSU on the PP. Good chance
1 minute left in the period
Mavs power play weak to start this time around but gaining momentum late. LaFontaine and Jutzi with good chances
That's the end of the period. MSU will have 21 seconds left on the PP to start the second.
It certainly is quieter around here without that four-year-long debate!
And we're underway in the second.
Mavs recover quickly after a scary turnover in their own end.
Here comes another MSU PP. Fans don't like it (4-0 BSU penalties to MSU penalties) but this trip had to be called.
And the PP ends just as quickly as Margonari gets called for tripping, preventing a short-handed rush
4x4 for 1:53 ... Not sure Margonari had to do that. Gotta move your feet there
Blueger pretty good on the faceoff right now. Three wins in a row there
Nice save by Huggins on a tricky re-direct try by Ward
Chase Grant gets a step on a D and gets a nice chance. Walsh is there for the save though.
Short PP for the Beavers then it's back to 5x5
Bemidji fans yell shoot more than Mankato fans. Then again, they have just 6 shots on goal right now; that might be why.
Mini 2-on-1 from Blueger to McInnis. Looked to be sure goal but it looked like Walsh got his pad out to stop the pass
But now and MSU goal as Gervais fires from the slot after a nice pass from LaFontaine
Gervais leads the Mavericks with 3 goals now
Palmquist also had an assist on the play.
His first point of hte season
TV timeout. Shots are 15-9 for MSU
Last night's crowd was better, IMO
Bemidji has another good, hard shift by that fourth line that was so good last night and gets on the board. Tic-tac-toe. Not much Huggins could do there.
Let's see how the Mavs respond
Jutzi off the pipe and then another off the pipe! Yikes
Might have been Gervais on the second shot. Not certain.
