OSU fell behind 2-0, 3-1, 4-2, and was down 5-3 just 1:17 into the third period, but rallied with four goals in the last ten minutes--two on a power play and the game-winner on a 5 on 3--to pull out the victory. The key play of the game was late in the third with the score tied at 5. OSU had control of the puck in the BG zone and BG's Paul Basic committed a penalty (hitting from behind). While one ref was waiting for the delayed call as OSU maintained control, BG's Jeff Wells also hit from behind, and both were taken off the ice at the next break to give OSU a 5:3 advantage for two minutes. There was a lot of yelling from the BG bench. OSU capitalized on the opportunity, scoring their second 5 on 3 goal of the night, and taking the lead for the first time at 6-5. OSU iced the game with two seconds remaining as Phil Cadman outraced a BG winger to a loose puck at center ice, passed to Sean Sutton who put the puck in the empty net. Another comical note from the evening were the coincidental minors given to OSU's Sandy Fraser and BG's Brian Holzinger. They got tangled up as Holzinger broke into the OSU zone, and both fell to the ice. They were taken off for coincidental tripping. Seems like a strange coincidental when you think about it. :-) BGSU outshot OSU 17-3 in the first period, and OSU returned the favor in the second, outshooting the Falcons 15-5. Clarke was brilliant for BG in the second as many of his 14 saves were of the spectacular variety, and OSU could have easily scored 5 goals in that period alone with a lesser effort from the opposing goaltender. For OSU, Tom Askey looked a little shaky in the first period (his four goals allowed gave him 12 GA in his prior 4 periods of work to that point), but recovered to play a strong second and third period. Neither goalie got much help from his defense however, and many of the goals scored were of the "no chance in hell" variety. Askey's key moment: with OSU dominating the second period, but being held to just one goal by Clarke and still trailing 4-3, BGSU got a breakaway. A goal on that breakaway could have been a backbreaker, but Askey made a spectacular glove save to keep the Bucks within 1. Stupid Hockey Fan Quote of the Night: "Don't set it up, just shoot!" Sigh. BGSU and OSU get it on tomorrow night at Bowling Green at 7pm (?)
