I was surprised to see that the teams came out and for the most part didn't look mentally or physically tired, but towards the end of the period it was evident that these guys have played a lot of hockey this weekend. MSU got on the board first on the power play when Mick Berge fired a shot from the left circle that beat Alex Kangas on the far side. Kangas robbed Jon Kalinski point-blank with about two minutes to go in the period, and the Gophers proceeded to come down and tie the game on the ensuing rush. UM's Stu Bickel was called for hooking as time ran out in the period, and the Mavericks will start the second period on the power play.
1st Period Scoring Summary
8:30 - Berge (Davis, Irwin) PPG 1-0 MSU
18:12 - Barriball (Wheeler, Gordon) 1-1
The Mavericks and Gophers skated a pretty even period with the Gophers scoring to gain the lead 2-1. Jason Wiley was tabbed with a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct. The Gophers were unable to score on their power play, and frankly both teams looked dreadful on the power play. Zach Harrison was robbed on a clean breakaway by Kangas, and the Mavericks are going to have to find a way to beat him if they want to have a chance.
2nd Period Scoring Summary
13:51 - White (Howe, Lucia) 2-1 UM
For the third straight night, were going to overtime. Kael Mouillierat tied the game at two when he took a feed from Trevor Bruess and tucked it between the pads of Kangas. We'll see who has the most left in the tank.
3rd Period Scoring Summary
3:20 - Mouillierat (Bruess, Youds) 2-2
The Mavericks completely dominated the first overtime session but Kangas stayed strong and even got help from the crossbar late in the period. We're headed to a second overtime for the second time this weekend, and how these two teams have anything left in the tank is beyond me.
