Students with Thundersticks!

Ice girls, even at the collegel level

So this is what the football players feel like...another TV timeout

Not sure if Van Guilder deflected this shot or not (puck is at the MSU defenseman's foot...I think after bouncing off the goalie)

Condra trying to poke in a rebound

Ref looking at instant replay after the Irish score their 1st goal

The Captains talk it over with a linesman

And the scoreboard sez....

I'm so glad that CSTV is showing some of ND's hockey games now. I miss attending those.

Looks like you had awesome seats. Great pics

We were in the 2nd to last row on the south side....I actually stood on the bench of the last row because it allowed me to better shoot over the glass.

Most of the pics are from the 1st & 2nd periods. I didn't take many in the 3rd because the actual ticketholders behind me decided to show up and I had to sit in my seat

There was a major hottie in the last row too....she must have been the gf of one of the players as she took notes the entire game. That's a dedicated gf. Nope, didn't take a picture.....but take my word for it!

Michigan-MSU on CSTV tonight but I'm watching some show on VH1 about Queen's album, A Night at the Opera. Great album. My Mom was not thrilled with it when I bought it the week it was released. But I saved it from being smashed. Can't say the same about Billy Joel's "The Stranger". She heard Only the Good Die Young and that was the end of that album. El Smasho!
