BC & ND What an unusual game.

• BC had only two penalties, both were 5 minute majors plus 10 minute game misconducts. (technically 4 penalties but who's counting)
• ND challenged an on-ice non-call. The second period start was delayed for the review. The incident happened with about 2:50 left in the first period. BC & ND players were coming out of the ND zone when the BC guy clocked ND with his arm. It didn't look intentional but it caused the ND player to fall to the ice and stay down for a few seconds. The penalty was called & ND got a 5 min PP.
• Another on-ice call was reviewed and overturned resulting in a goal for ND.
• Rolston's hat trick was completed with mere seconds remaining in the game.
• ND played like a junior high team in the first period, then completely turned it around for the final two. Maybe the JJ challenge had something to do with it.
• The student section was packed, I think they had to expand their seating there were so many. Very good to see that.
• The scoreboard replay actually showed the penalties, and the plays under review. Very unusual was that they showed BC's Nesterenko and his checking from behind that got ND the 5 min power play.
• Now we know that the team knows how to put the puck in the net, even when they're ahead. Instead of jacking around and trying not to make a mistake when they have the lead. Hope they can keep it up when Minnie comes to town.
