Hockey Least refs= you need them to call back at least one goal to know it is a real game. In the last minute of play would be most accurate

This is way better than the replay on TV.

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL. Nathan Smith.

Against the run of play. Smith pokes the puck past a pinching Ethan Frisch along the near boards, and he is off to the races. Kiersted tries to cut off Smith, but he simply cannot catch up to the speedy freshman. Smith races is on Scheel, and lifts a wrister just over Scheel's glove and into the back of the net to give Minnesota State the go-ahead goal.

7:17 left in the 3rd.

So close... Adams wins a puck battle behind the net and dishes it over to Kawaguchi in the near corner. Kawaguchi starts cycling back behind the net, but then threads a perfect past out to Bernard-Docker at the top of the near circle. Bernard-Docker toe drags the forward, and skates to the top of the slot and rips a wrister low stick-side. McKay gets a leg on the puck, which deflects over to Mismash, who first a wrister on net, but McKay flashes leather once again. Mavericks keep their one-goal lead.

5:20 left in the 3rd.

The clock is moving too fast for North Dakota...not fast enough or Minnesota State. Mavericks doing an impressive job of limiting North Dakota's opportunities in the Mavs zone, and the puck has seen a lot of the neutral zone of late. UND fans getting nervous.

North Dakota trying to make one last push, but Minnesota State doing a fantastic job of controlling the puck. UND unable to gain possession in the Mavs zone right now.

North Dakota finally gains some traction in the Mavs end, but Cole Smith's wrister from the near circle is gloved by McKay.

Coach Hastings has called his timeout, and North Dakota has pulled Scheel for the extra attacker.

Pinto wins a draw back to Bernard-Docker, who dishes it over to Poolman at the top of the slot, and Poolman rips a slapper on net that Pinto gets a stick on, but it deflects wide. Michaud gathers the puck, and passes the puck along the boards to Smith at the near boards. Smith skates to top of the near circle and flips a wrister on net. McKay gets a piece of it, and for a moment the puck is lying on top of the crease. McKay jumps on the puck, just beating Pinto's push for the tying goal.

0:42 left in the 3rd.

GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL! KAWAGUCHI...KAWAGUCHI...KAWAGUCHI!!!!!

Adams wins the offensive zone draw back to Kiersted. Kiersted flips the puck over to Frisch, who then dumps it down to Kawaguchi in the near corner. Kawaguchi skates up the boards and then pushes in to the near circle and absolutely lasers a wrister top shelf that beats McKay's glove and into the back of the net. WE ARE ALL SQUARE!!
