BGSU v. Lake Superior "Live Blog"?

This is my attemp at liveblogging. By that I mean I'll be posting updates from my phone throughout the game if I remember.

First note - LSSU starts Inglis tonight in goal. If you remember my series preview, Inglis has been pretty disappointing in net this season. Hopefully this bodes well for the Falcons.

Update #1 - 12:29 left in the 1st. LSSU up 1-0 already on a bad rebound by Eno.

Update #2 - 1:37 left in the first. 1-1. Perkin with the equalizer after a gorgeous move to get by the defender at the blueline.

BG has definitely turned it on in the second half of this period.

Update #3 - 1:49 remaining in the 2nd. 3-1 LSSU on two quick goals. Eno dropped a pair of shots right on his glove. He's been pulled and Hammond has stepped in. Momentum is definitely in the Lakers' favor right now.

Update #4 - 11:42 remaining in the 3rd. 4-1 LSSU. Hammond got beat on a tough rebound. Wide open net.

BG just had over a minute of sustained pressure on Inglis on the PP and came away with nothing. At least a dozen chances, but no goals. Just one of those nights.

Update #5 - 7:12 left in the 3rd. 5-2 LSSU. BG scored on a trickler that found its way past Inglis. Tommy Dee, if I remember correctly.

LSSU answered almost immediately. The goal chant had barely finished.

Update #6 - Just over :20 remaining in the game. Huge collision in front of the LSSU net. Robert Shea bowls over Pat Inglis and a huge scuffle erupts. Lots of pushing, shoving, and punches thrown.

When it's all said and done, Shea is sent off the ice, and four Lakers make their way to the box. MacVoy is being escorted off the ice, but instead insists on going to the box. He immediately begins jawing at the BG players, leading one of the scorers to stand up and shout him down. He is then sent off, giving some interesting hand gestures to the Ice Arena faithful.

Two more BG players make the long skate to the sin bin, and we're up to eight in the box and two sent to the locker room.

Inglis is down for a few minutes, and the crowd is still stirred up due to the scrum. The final :20 tick off of the clock, and LSSU wins. Dillin Stonehouse smacks the boards in front of the student section and skates through the handshake line and off the ice to a chorus of boos and insults.

Tough loss, but an interesting game. Goaltending and defensive lapses were a major issue. Aside from the one sustained PP, BG wasn't able to accomplish much with the advantage. These issues are going to have to be addressed.

I'll have the scoring summary and an update on my fantasy picks as soon as I get the information.
