Fixed it.

Will be there in person, once again attired in the "throw-back". Going to Mileti to see Blake and Doc first...then "an obedient change in lines" over to the Ice Arena.

Beat the Irish like a rented mule!

Beat the Irish like a rented mule!

WHAT HE SAID!!!!

[Drago]

I don't think either game will be real close. Notre Dame is out for revenge with the entire conference and is already scoring at a high pace. That combo with our non existent power play doesn't bode well for the Falcons. Maybe the goalies can steal a game, but this will be a tough task.

1-0 Good guys after 20 minutes. Rodriguez with a goal and a stellar period of goaltending by Eno.

[BGDrew]

Still 1-0 after 2.

[gmartin]

This is a great game. Fans are really involved. Student section very vocal. ENO has been incredible through 45 minutes. Best defensive game I have seen from a BG team in over 5 years. Passing has been much crisper tonight. ND getting frustrated and starting to get chippy. Three more great saves by ENO. The refs called I think 7 penalties on BG and 3 on ND. Need to even them out.

[gmartin]

WOW!!!! Save of the year so far by ENO!!!! Hope someone got a picture of that one

[gmartin]

BG 3 ND 1 less than 5 min left. Eno 29 saves

Feel like I am at the Wings game with the Don't Stop Believe'in playing.


GO BG!!!

[gmartin]

Way to go Falcons!!!! BG WINS. 3-2

Most complete game in last 5 years! Don't think you will get many to disagree with me on that. Only negative was the last minute got sloppy and too many penalties. A couple were very questionable calls at best. ENO was amazing except during the last minute when he was out of position and lost his stick! 30 plus saves. ND had 20 min of power plays. By far the best game of his career. Crowd was very vocal. Go for the sweep tomorrow!!!

[ZuluWarrior]

Great Win!! Sweep the Irish!! Should be a great night tomorrow! Listening brought back memories of the late 80's for me.

Fun time in the old Ice House -- a big effort all over the ice. I love the way this bunch can work. A small step forward tonight. The embers of this program that were nearly snuffed out two years ago are showing a growing a flame.
