Classless ending for Ohio State lead by their goalie. Taunting the BG student section. Act like you have been there Buckeyes.
Thought it was a fantastic experience. 5000 crazed people, an electric, intimate atmosphere, a lot of yelling and screaming with a fight at the end and taunting on the way to the locker room. Throw in some trash talking on a message board the next day for good measure. Seriously, how long has it been since either fan base has had an experience like this? Wish we’d won, but WOW what a game! The sad thing is this intensity level never happens for any of our league games. Playing Bemidji just isn’t the same as playing the Buckeyes or Miami State (no offense intended Beaver nation, this comment is meant for illustrative purposes only).
Here’s hoping for the series to continue next season.
Why is it perfectly acceptable for the ticket holder to give players grief all night, but it’s not acceptable for the players to toss that stuff right back over the glass? If it’s classless for the players, isn’t it classless for the ticket holder too?Classless ending for Ohio State lead by their goalie. Taunting the BG student section.

Not saying that fans should behave as they wish. There are limits. However they are paying customers.
I saw where the ASU twitter account person was razzing CC for having ugly uniforms. I guess they've never played BGSU.
So why is the standard different? Why is the same behavior acceptable for one, but classless for another?
Paying customers have a right to act like fans. It's money out of their pockets. Like I said, there are limits.
Athletes are paid/compensated for their performance in front of those fans. It's money (or education) in their pockets.

The OSU goalie can do whatever he wants IMHO. He stole both games for OSU, in a series were BG outplayed OSU for over 100 of 120 minutes he was the only reason it wasn't a BG sweep or at minimum a split.
Topped off by stopping a penalty shot with 19 seconds left in the second game with a 3-2 lead and 4800 people screaming at you. That kid was nails and to the victors go the spoils......and I guess gloating.
Besides, that was tame compared to the OSU/BG games of the 70's and early 80's when there were literally bench clearing brawls......god BG needs somebody like Miami or Western back in the CCHA, somebody we a have a real rivalry with.
Northern and Lake State have long running series with BG, but they have their own rivals up in the UP....it's not really a rivalry with BG.
I was hoping that MSU/BG was turning into that. MSU needs that rivalry too and we just aren't getting it. It's one of the things the CCHA needs to develop into a better league as a whole in my opinion. Maybe St Thomas will turn into that sooner than later, but its not there now. They are very easy to dislike (just ask 95% of Minnesota).
I thought MSU/BSU was turning that?
St. Thomas will, at worst, give you a team you will love to hate.
I was at the game. I didn't think there was any untoward behavior by the crowd until the OSU guy speared Seth Fyten in the closing minute and set off the ensuing melee.
Not really. Bsu is a good team, but they aren't really that team we have irrational hatred for. It's more of a minnesota nice, respectful matchup.
