Second period belonged to Cornell everywhere but the scoresheet.

It may be small consolation, but that's a good sign.  Big improvement over period one.

According to USCHO score updates, it's a final, and the 3rd tie of the season for the Red.

It appears that we have a goalie.  Mckee looked excellent tonight.  His confidence really seemed to increase as the Lynah crowd got behind him.  Schafer's defense is ever improving.  O'Byrne is splaying defense with his head and looks very good.  Our power play had trouble finishing tonight, as it has all month.  Overall, tonight was a welcome improvement over the last home games, and even the north country trip.  Hopefully, we can put the puck in the back of the net tomorrow vs. ranked Ohio State.  Let's Go Red!

anyone know who the three stars of the game were?

not sure who the 3 stars were but the two goalies should go 1 and 2 for sure. mckee looked great tonight. the bgsu goalie was the reason they tied for sure. i thought that  bgsu played well but that cornell outplayed them. i also thought that bgsu put on a show tonight with their constant diving. the first 2 cornell penalties should have been diving on bgsu - the first one lead to their only goal - oh well. at least 2 were called. good effort from the red 2nite excluding the first half of the first period. what a way to tie the game. dupree swallowed his whistle early in the third both ways. a tie could have been a loss i guess. win the first at home tomorrow nite RED

McKee and defense were both solid.  Offense had trouble connecting, obviously, though it wasn't for a lack of trying.  It was a good game overall, especially once Cornell got its momentum going, but nevertheless, I'm getting tired of seeing all these ties.  I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I know this team is capable of better than ties.

According to Adam Wodon's broadcast partner:
(1) - BGSU goalie
(2) Matt Moulson
(3) Charlie Cook

McKee didn't have much of a chance on their goal - the pass to the attacker was right on, and he was unchecked in the slot.  McKee made some fine saves, especially toward the end of the 3rd period, when BG controlled too much of the action.

My thoughts:

Best game I've seen them play yet, although that isn't a large sample, if you exclude the first period. In the 2nd and the 3rd we definitely controlled our fair share of the flow of the game, played very down-low win-the-battles-in-the-corner Cornell hockey, and had a good number of chances on the offensive end, but often just got to fancy. Overall, I was very pleased with what I saw once we got our act together. I wouldn't say it looked like last years team, but it looked like last year's team on a bad day... which is still pretty good... think @ Colgate maybe.

McKee has turned into Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Sucky... making a couple boneheaded plays in the 2nd that nearly cost us a goal (which very possibly may've been the game)... but other time looked very solid, especially toward the end of the third. I realize they're freshman mistakes, and I have no doubt he'll end up being a great goalie, but I'd still like to see a rotation. Was there anyone who thought we'd have a one goalie system coming into this season?!?

The BGSU goalie made an insane over-the-back, behind-the-head save on our PP near the end of regulation to steal it. Very rarely do you go into OT feeling "I'm glad we have 5 more minutes to try to bury this one", but that's how I felt. We really were firing on all cylanders. Schafer really seems to be turning this new group around.
