Welcome to tonight’s live blog. I’ll be dropping updates in the chat below throughout the game. Feel free to follow along if you can’t be at Lawler Arena live tonight and you can post your own questions and comments as well.
I’m wrong … they’re calling it five … that surprises me. Walsh didn’t extend his arms and his hands were high because he had just cleared a puck and his hands were up on the finish.
In the midst of all that nonsense, we had two goals. Mac Welsher scored for the Warriors to give them 1-0 lead but the Big Green scored moments later to tie the game at 1-1. That’s where we stand with 11:00 left in the first period.
Sorry we’re having some technical issues with the live blog tonight. It’s not allowing me to type into the window so I am going to have to type from a separate screen and copy/paste! Sorry for the delay.
Thanks for tuning in to tonight’s live blog. I’ll have much more later!
Final: Merrimack and Dartmouth finish in a 2-2 tie. SOG 38-22 Merrimack. Attempts 80-37 Merrimack.
Timeout Merrimack with 38.8 left.
Where this is a non-conference game, I believe there will not be a shootout. If no one scores, it ends in a 2-2 tie.
End of 3: Merrimack 2, Dartmouth 2. SOG 37-21 Merrimack. Attempts 77-36 Merrimack.
Merrimack has never won a 3v3 OT game. Warriors are 0-4 this season in OT games. Dartmouth is 0-1 in OT.
Great work by Vinnell and the fourth line to create that goal. Glad to see Messner rewarded. He’s been very good all night.
1:00 left.
MERRIMACK GOAL: Merrimack 2, Dartmouth 2 with 3:34 left in the 3rd
DARTMOUTH GOAL: Dartmouth leads 2-1 with 4:42 left.
8:35 on the clock, still tied 1-1.
PP negated by a slashing call on Mark Gallant.
Timeout Dartmouth
5:00 and a game misconduct for Walsh, so the Warriors have to kill a 5:00 penalty and lose Walsh for the night.
I’m wrong … they’re calling it five … that surprises me. Walsh didn’t extend his arms and his hands were high because he had just cleared a puck and his hands were up on the finish.
Looking at the replay, I don’t think that’s a major. His arms were high because he had just cleared a puck
Dartmouth to the PP. Roughing call on Walsh. They’re reviewing it for a possible major.
