CCHA QUARTERFINALS: vs. Michigan Tech (3/7-9)

Glad we were able to come out on top, second half of the game had me worried

Tech ties it in the early 3rd.

Brutal decision to make a line change there. We had 4 guys slow to get on the ice and we never had a chance there.

And on the next rush, Stoever takes a stick to the back of the head to no call.

It's McInchak and Vida. Notice, they didn't review that Tech goal and wanted BG to challenge for a review.

Puck was stopped in the crease until the Tech player fell. Watch his right arm.

Sure was nice hearing the silence from the Tech pep band and "misfits" or whatever they call themselves.

We played really well through most of the game, a couple of mistakes that Stoever covered for except for that dumb line change as mbenecke mentioned.

Did not expect to win that game. Good job.

Tech guys reporting that their Dirk broadcaster guy was surprised there was no review on that play. They also were saying he hit it in with his elbow.

[FalconRollAlong]

Heck yes, great to get an OT win.

[pdt1081]

BG with most of the squad on ice for morning skate today. Tech had two guys in tennis shoes, and one player come out for 5 minutes with skates on. Interesting strategies at play.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

2-0 at the first intermission.

2-0 at the second intermission.

This is a fun game! My first game in a couple years, and my son’s first ever.

Impressive weekend, way to get the sweep. Bemidji and Augustana playing tomorrow so we have to wait one more day to see who BG plays next Friday. Either St. Thomas or Minnesota State.

[pdt1081]

That's the way to close out a series. Maintain composure and let the scoreboard speak.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Joe Shawhan absolutely went off on Mcinchak in his post game interview. Holy cow! The league may take some action behind the scenes.

[mbenecke]

That was awesome. We completely dominated the series overall. I mean, totally broke their will to fight. They gave up halfway through the 3rd and we kept going.

Few things in the world better than beating/sweeping Tech. Glad to have experienced it in person.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Reading their message board, they're complaining about the refs, they're complaining about how we're a dirty team, they're complaining that their obnoxious fans and band weren't welcomed like they were the second coming of Jesus Christ, they're complaining about their coach. They're complaining.

I think we have a budding rivalry brewing...

Putting Emerson on the 1st line was genius. Waters brought more offense to the 2nd line and that 4th line was a terror out there tonight. Just a terrific performance against an absolute goon squad. That was a boxing match in the first period
