LIVE BLOG: Boston College v. Minnesota (First Period)

1st 00:00  -- Boston College and Minnesota are taking to the ice in Tampa Bay for the second semi-final of the day. The winner will play Ferris State on Saturday night for the NCAA Championship (Ferris beat Union 3-1 this afternoon).

1st 02:00 -- Minnesota had a nice chance there. Those scrambles in front of the net are the scariest thing in the world for a goaltender.

1st 03:48 -- Some good shots and chances by both teams so far. A lot faster pace than the game this afternoon.

1st 06:03 -- GOAL BC! That's why you never stop driving to the net. Steven Whitney picks up his 14th goal on the season for the Eagles. Good early goal.

1st 11:00 -- Like they're talking about on ESPN 2, Boston College keeps driving hard to the net. It got them their first goal, and has to be driving the Gopher netminder crazy. Just watched Minnesota crash the net as well. I like the strategy.

1st 11:58 -- Parker Milner is intense in net for BC. Another huge save for the Eagles.

1st 15:16 -- Wow, there goes Milner again. He's at 165 minutes of shutout hockey and has not allowed a goal this tournament.

1st 18:26 -- Milner with the eyes of an Eagle on that shot. See what I did there...

1st 19:11 -- Sliding the pad across the crease and robs Mattson. I can't talk about Milner enough. 104 saves in the last 104 shots.

END FIRST.        BOSTON COLLEGE: 1            MINNESOTA: 0
