2020-21 Penn State Nittany Lions

[Reddington]

The pep band made it to a game last year and now you have the A team on announcers. Barbour's plan was to have all programs in the top ten or something similar and now she has delivered in the year of the virus no less.

RMU was targeting a specific matchup all weekend for Diffendahl and PSU will have to look at the tape and figure it out because Diffendahl is dangerous.

Much like Fargo at Colgate, and Lonergan, both coaches need to come up with something other than what they are doing. Kampersal was finally able to slow up Nuutinen last year so maybe he still has something up his sleeve.

A win is a win and that 5 on 3 kill was something else.

Mercyhurst took two from Syracuse and is coming up and it should be another exciting weekend. How did RIT beat them 1-0? That may be one of the upsets of the year so far.

PSU cannot look past RIT who has been a thorn for PSU throughout their history.

If you win a lot ... Do you get a better announcer? Evidently so. Lol. Loved his energy and excitement.

Those guys are the men's hockey play-by-play guys. I wonder what it took to get them to call this one. The athletic director was in the stands at this game, too. The women's team is winning and is ranked - I think we're going to need a bigger bandwagon.

That's a season sweep for Penn State against RMU, too. I wonder how long it's been since another team did that to the Colonials? Nice kill by Penn State on the five-minute major, too.

Lakers went 2-1-1 in reg season against RMU last year. But RMU certainly haven’t lost many reg season in conference series over the past few years. Nice job by Penn State.

Penn State sweeps Robert Morris for the second time this season by a score of 4-2! Penn State is now in first place in the CHA by five points, with six games to play. This was a signature weekend sweep, and if Penn State doesn't move up in the polls after this one then the poll voters are blind. Josie Bothun was incredible all weekend, but so was Raygen Kirk for Robert Morris. This whole weekend was played at 100MPH, and this sweep really defines this 2020-21 Penn State team.

After two it's Penn State up 3-2 on Robert Morris, on goals from Amy Dobson, Julie Gough, and Olivia Wallin. Penn State took two penalties and Robert Morris took one, but neither team scored on the powerplay. Penn State leads the shots on goal 22-19. This game is non-stop go.

[ZedLeppelin]

At the end of the first period it's 1-0 Robert Morris. Penn State leads the shots on goal 10-8, and there were no penalties that period. So far, it's another very fast game, and Robert Morris's Raygen Kirk has made some huge saves to keep Penn State off the scoreboard. Gotta believe she can't keep that up for two more periods, and Penn State is on the gas hard.

Never would have seen that article without that link Zed. Way to go. Joila it talks about faceoffs and penalties with a side of blocks.

Nice team win to position themselves to control their own destiny. Did not play well for the entirety of the game, but, kept it together and improved play as the game progressed. Great job reducing penalties taken while there is quite a bit of work to be done on the power play. Nice effort overall. RMU will toss everything at them today and they have to it the ice ready to go.

[Reddington]

Keep on posting the links. Faceoffs and penalties were better this game.
