I wouldn't look to PSU's results to suggest they're already a contender, but to state they're already much improved over last season and shouldn't be overlooked.

Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostGiven their recent play I say sweep. Given the full body of work, then D is my prediction. PSU has established themselves as a possible powerhouse in this conference. They might not be there yet, but they are making noise.

Re: Minnesota @ Penn State: 2/20 & 2/21
With my glass half full, worm half turned perspective this team is still on the edge. I expect them to be coasting on Friday and lose, then come back Saturday and win. Michigan came back hard Saturday and they responded, I hope they can maintain the effort.
How is Lettieri? He took a slapper on the side of his head Saturday. I read he was walking around in the locker room after the game. Best I've seen him play as a gopher.

Originally posted by D2D View PostSo, in other words, the Gophers really have their work cut out for them. What would you say the odds are of:
A) Minnesota sweeps
B) Penn State sweeps
C) They split
D) None of the above - a tie in one or both games, with shoot-out point(s) awarded that affect conference standings only
I'm going with D. Gophers win one, but tie and then lose the shootout, because they always do.

Originally posted by Brenthoven View PostThey shoot a LOT, and just relentlessly attack, from the couple games I have seen. The last game I saw from them was against MSU a couple weeks ago, and it was embarrassing how PSU beat them. A couple of the goals....the goalie had NO chance at a save. No chance.

Re: Minnesota @ Penn State: 2/20 & 2/21
I looked at Penn State's schedule and results: http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-...key-sched.html
Are they really 10-1-3 on their home ice? If so, wow, that's pretty good. In fact, that's better than pretty good, that's domination, that's best in the league.
What's the secret to their success at home?
