2020-21 Penn State Nittany Lions

[EMPTYNETTER]

Minnesota State is a very good team. Are you saying Wisconsin and the rest of the WCHA is comparable to the CHA?

I'm saying Wisconsin didn't look to be superior to the top 2 or 3 teams in any of the other conferences. There is increasing parity every year.

Here's tonight's starting lineup: https://twitter.com/PennStateWHKY/st...195206/photo/1

After one period it's tied 1-1 at Robert Morris. Both teams have one penalty, and both goals were powerplay goals. Penn State leads the shots on goal 9-8, so this one couldn't be a whole lot closer so far. No glaring miscues to adjust between periods - it's just good hockey from both teams so far.

Quick FYI: the game announcers are saying tomorrow's game is at 2:00 Eastern, not 2:30.

After two periods it's still tied 1-1 at Robert Morris. Penn State took two more penalties in that period, but stopped the Robert Morris powerplay on both. Shots on goal are even at 19-19. Josie Bothun has come up with big saves on some scrummy chances right at the net. Again, there's nothing glaring that stands out as needing adjustment. Penn State is full of hustle, getting their chances, and the penalty kill is working after giving up that first period goal. Good hockey all around, but who isn't starved for hockey, right?

Penn State beats Robert Morris 3-2 in a very even game. Shots on goal were 30-30, and both teams had all kinds of chances. Robert Morris did get some help with a couple of early whistles in front of their net in the third, but Raygan Kirk was solid in net for Robert Morris, as was Josie Bothun for Penn State. Kiara Zanon had a shorthanded breakaway in the game but couldn't finish it, and Penn State had a 5-on-3 in the third and didn't score. Overall a great game from Penn State for having not played in almost a month. Back at it again tomorrow at 2:00.

Did anyone watch Friday's game on Stretch? How was the audio/video quality? Worth the price?

It was good quality, with replays, and they had two announcers, but the feed would glitch every now and then. It was a really quick fix, though - just refresh the page and start the feed up again. Annoying, but tolerable.

After one period, Penn State leads Robert Morris 1-0 on a goal by freshman Maeve Connolly. Penn State leads the shots on goal by 11-10, both teams have one penalty, neither team has a powerplay goal, and both teams have four blocked shots. Neither team really dominated the period, but I think Penn State had the better chances. Robert Morris has Ariell DeSmett in goal instead of Raygan Kirk from yesterday's game.

[ZedLeppelin]

After two periods, Penn State is up 3-1 on two rocket goals from junior Jessica Adolfsson. Both teams scored a powerplay goal in that period. Penn State is up 29-19 in shots on goal. Robert Morris is a little lucky it's not more like 5-1, as Penn State missed a few golden opportunities to score.

[ZedLeppelin]

Penn State sweeps Robert Morris on the road by a score of 4-1! Penn State led the shots on goal by 41-26. Penn State played the last two minutes shorthanded on two penalties (Adolfsson took a 5-minute GM on a boarding call), and down 6 players to 3 with Robert Morris pulling their goalie. Penn State hadn't beaten Robert Morris since 2017, so this was impressive. If Penn State isn't ranked after this weekend, the polls are garbage. This is one quick Penn State team.

Keep the links coming and thanks for keeping the thread going. Tough to compete with NFL playoffs so the live stats sufficed at 9.95 a pop. Normally, you don't spring for the big ticket so you must really be jonesing this year.

Going to say two positives and one negative and one in between. Two wins on the road. D limited shots to 30 and 25. The negative is evidently faceoffs. And the one in between is the first line was held in check both games yet the team still won. That bodes well for the team!
