@ Bemidji State (10/29-10/30)

[BGDrew]

Swankler was going to tally an empty netter, but Bemidji pulled the net off and there was a whistle. Cheap stuff, Tom.

I'd really like to hear the league's opinion on that. It's either a penalty, or a goal. Or they rule Swankler knocked the net off on his own and the faceoff moves outside.

No league opinion needed since it didn’t happen. Swankler goes to the net from the rear boards, BSU player engaged him physically and the net comes off. Face off stayed in the BSU zone.

Delay of game since he dislodged it intentionally. Or, call the frigging cross-check like they did in Chicoine earlier. Regardless, it wasn't a clean play.

Dougherty and Barber out of the lineup again tonight.

Stoever also replaces Rose in net for his first action between the pipes in orange and brown.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

I missed what happened to Dougherty, I assume he’s hurt?

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

I was thinking Stoever would get his first start next weekend. Nothing like being thrown into the deep end. Defense will need to stand tall.

[mbenecke]

End of One: No score.

Much better start tonight than last night. Really need to keep our effort up and keep working here.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Down to a 40-minute game.

[BGFan]

Much better start than last night. They look like evenly matched teams.

Bemidji finally gets a goal to break the scoreless tie with 4:20 left in the middle frame.

We are skating 4 on 4. Swankler lost his stick and then didn’t have anything to help himself make the play.

I actually think another player had lost their stick, and Swankler tossed them his. Cool idea in theory, but he ended up out of position without his stick and it gave them a goal. So… not great.

Gotta keep fighting.

[mbenecke]

Hockey down 2-0 now.

[TalonsUpPuckDown]

Gonna be tough to get two. Stoever has played well.

Malmstrom had his stick broken. Forward gave D-Man his stick, which is 100% the correct thing to do. Unfortunate Bemidji cycled the puck immediately around him.

[BG84]

Seems like we're flailing.

[mbenecke]

GOAL! It’s a late one, but BG, with an empty net, scores to cut Bemidji’s lead to 1 with 36 seconds to play.
