Great defense and great goaltending. I thought Gilmore played better
than Clarke because the MSU defense gave up more close-in shots than
the BG defense did. Each tender made at least 3 saves "that they shouldn't
have made."
 
The first was pretty even. MSU controlled the second and got their
expected 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 breaks on goal but could only muster the
one PPG. BG dominated the third, allowing only 4 shots on net, with
all 4 coming from beyond the face-off dot. With the face-off in the MSU
end and 3 second left in regulation, the Falcons pulled their goalie
but nothing happened.
 
Referee Matt Shegos continued to swallow his whistle in OT, where I
thought at least 3 penalties could have been called. Clarke's only save
in OT was a sliding stop of Peter White's edge-of-the-crease shot. The
winning goal came when Greg de Vries held in the puck at the blue line
and sent it deep. The puck took a funny bounce off the boards, hit the
side of the net and went right to Brett Harkins, who fed Jim Solly. Jim
was solidly in the crease, but Gilmore was so far back in the net, he
was not even touching the goalie. Jim tucked in the puck before any
MSU player could figure out what happened.
 
With this break, BG is now about 1 and 10 on lucky bounces this season.
 
Re-match at Munn at 7 pm tonight. Should be another close game...
