Greetings again from downtown Mankato. It sure is nice to be covering home games.
Warmups just finished. We're 20 minutes until face-off.
Winter Carnival in Houghton today. Michigan Tech defeated Huntsville 10-4. Tech moved up to third place in the WCHA standings with the sweep.
In other action, Ferris State leads Northern Michigan 1-0 after one period and Alaska Anchorage leads Lake Superior 1-0 after one.
Big upset in the Big Ten today as Penn State shut out Michigan 4-0. First Big Ten win for the Nittany Lions.
Uh oh. Zamboni malfunction on the VWC ice right now.
I believe I saw something about a Zamboni going down at Harvard last night.
Now it's going but it left a big pile of snow on the ice at the south end of the rink.
BSU starters tonight: Wilkins, Pedan, Prapavessis, Marinaccio, Jubinville, O'Connor
Cheese ... no hat tricks this year.
MSU starters: Huggins, Stern, Palmquist, Gervais, Leitner, Lehrke
Last hat trick was Hayes last year at Duluth
Quick penalty called on Bemidji. 32 seconds in
Not a very good power play for the Mavericks. Penalty over.
Another good shift by MSU's fourth line after the power play.
Good save by Huggins at the other end
Shots say 2-1 at the 5:57 mark. MSU has controlled the pace so far though.
2 minutes left on the major
Power play over. Two goals during the major.
Huntebrinker stopped at the right post. Had a good, open chance there.
Good job by Stern coming back to prevent a breakaway.
But the play ends with an MSU penalty. Stern goes for holding. Bad play after a good play.
Foguth now with a hit from behind. Question is 2 or 5?
BSU has 1:07 of 5x3 during the major
5x4 now as MSU kills the two-man advantage superbly
MSU calls its timeout with 1:41 left in the major. A hand pass prevented them from making a change.
Penalty coming on Chase Grant, mixing it up with Cory Ward. Taking one or both?
32 seconds of 5x3 for Bemidji.
BSU calls its timeout now
Huntebrinker did a good job having to kill for quite a bit after coming out of the box. He served Foguth's penalty.
Zamboni got off the ice, so there probably won’t be much of a delay. Just one machine out there now and the snow’s cleaned up.by Shane Frederick via twitter 2/9/2014 12:52:43 AM
