Hello from GRR.
Sitting at the gate, still marveling at the fact that UMD and WMU combined for three shot attempts in the last 9:31 of regulation time. Two whistles in the last 8:08.

I'll stand by this, but it was still a good game and a strong effort from the visitors.
They didn't play a tough overtime because it was Saturday. They went blow for blow with a good team and got a point.

Not a good OT for UMD at all. Spoiled a pretty good 120-minute effort to an extent.

The conference title games are only relevant when convenient, as Florida State can attest.
The selection committee is going to have to decide on Sunday whether or not it wants college football to continue to play conference championship games.
That's what's at stake. If you're knocked out of the field after playing in one, it's impossible to recover from that.

Western Michigan challenges for a major on UMD, probably Pierce hitting Sharp on the end wall.

2-1 UMD after dos. Shots 20-16 Western. Tough start to the period, but shots end up 8-7 Western for the period.
We'll see if the Dogs can close this out.

I think it broke his mask.
WMU's Spicer just took a hard shot off his head from UMD's Hanson. He's beeing looked at on the bench but seems OK.
His helmet may have taken the worst of the hard shot.

1-0 UMD after one. Shots 12-9 WMU. No save this weekend (so far) better than the one Gajan just pulled off on Cowan. Holy smokes.
