Good goal. BG leading 2-0 late in the first period.
7:49
Good goal. 38 seconds to play in the opening frame. That is Scardina's first collegiate goal. via @24liveblog bgsuhockey.com
7:50
Officials are giving Potulny a lot of slack here. He was yelling during the review and continues to do so after the goal was confirmed.
7:51
M. Van Unen heads to the locker room. Sounds like he's been kicked out. via @24liveblog bgsuhockey.com
7:53
End of 1st Period: BG will take a 2-0 lead into the first intermission. Falcons will continue to have a long power play as well. via @24liveblog bgsuhockey.com
7:53
Van Unen's penalty was for facemasking. That's a five-minute major and game misconduct.
@BGSUHockeySite What happened to #4?
8:07
Potulny's review blew up in his face. Goal stands, he loses his timeout, and it appears the officials saw the facemasking penalty on the review.
Of note NMU has an extra forward in the lineup, not defenseman.
