Completely blown play by the BC defender!  Mercyhurst forward knocked the puck off of the board around the defender causing a 2 on 1....the lone BC defender got caught in no mans land and the BC goalie was stuck playing the shot and not the pass and one time shot.

The place looks empty

Pat Gannon (freshman for BC) ties it up at 1-1

BC weathers some pressure and cherry picks the break out.  The [sarcasm]thousand fans[/sarcasm] attending go crazy

Wow, Mercyhurst is a small school in Erie, PA.  They don't have a pep band so they called up Holy Cross asking them where they could hire a pep band...Holy Cross gave them a name of a high school and the HS pep band (sorry, can't recall their name--edit:  Shrewsbury) is there playing in Mercyhurst uniforms (apparently Mercyhurst doesn't have a fight song either)...cool!

Mercyhurst is keeping the pressure...but looks absolutely confused in the defensive end.

BC takes an interference penalty on what I thought was contact to the head on Mercyhurst....

And now 5x3 for Mercyhurst on a slashing/tripping call!!!  Wow.

[DeltaOne81]

2-1 now, MC... on the 5x3

[atb9]

Wide open in the slot on the 5x3!!!!

I'm at work, so I can't listen to the game.  Does anyone know which of BC's injured players have been cleared to play?

Keep the updates coming!  I really appreciate it!!

Hooking on Mercyhurst on a breakaway....BC took the puck right off of the defenders stick on the 5 on 4...no penalty shot...

Mercyhurst gets a shorty opp but it doesn't develop

[\'Go Hurst]

4 on 4 then BC will go on powerplay
