There have been plenty of non-calls both ways. And Clarkson's face off complaints would generate more sympathy if they didn't use their sticks like quarterstaffs every time.

It's been both teams getting tossed from the face-offs.

Clarkson to the power play on a protocol violation penalty. I know you can't play with a broken stick but it's not like she made a play; she was going to the bench. There's one I wish they overlooked.

OSU with a good shorthanded chance and they also kill the penalty with relatively little concern.

End of 1 and we're scoreless. I'll ad my input as I have to leave for work and will be watching the rest on my phone (and driving, don't judge).

Both teams generated chances. OSU is very disciplined with their assignments, much like Mercyhurst last week but they have been able to generate a good forecheck, which I thought they wouldn't be able to do without giving up chances. Thus far, I'm wrong.

The officiating is horrible. 1 power play each way, on a tick tack penalty and a protocol violation. On the other hand, both teams are committing actual offenses and they aren't being called. At least it doesn't seem biased.

All in all, a very entertaining game so far.

Re: NCAA Semifinal, Clarkson vs the Ohio State University.

I'll disagree with you on the Clarkson penalty. She plowed the OSU player over as she was trying to reach for a pass. If you don't call that, you might as well declare that you aren't going to call interference.

Both goalies looked good in the first period. We'll see which team settles into the game first, but it's pretty even so far. I'm leaning just slightly to Clarkson with one period done.

Who's the female colour commentator? Is that Arm's favourite?

(All 4 goaltender's in today's games are Canadian...odds against that?)

Sure nice watching this on the wider screen.

Correct, Clear interference penalty. Kind of felt like there were a lot of nerves. To be expected of OSU but a bit surprising from Clarkson. Hopefully a better second period.

tOSU with the better of play in the 1st 630 of period 2.

Okay, now that interferencecall on Clarkson was bogus.

tOSU scored (Dunne), but waived off on a ticky tack tOSU penalty.

BTW - next goal wins.

end 2. zip-zip.

This reminds me of last year's 1st semi

Clarkson turned it on late in the second, but that period belonged to Ohio State. This one's way too close to call. Sauve looks amazing in net for the Buckeyes.
