Penn State 2024-2025

Feels like making the Frozen Four is enough of a reason to at least start a thread.

Hell of a season so far, going from bottom of B1G to the first ever frozen four. Most impressive in the playoffs is that the first line has been targeted so extremely that the depth has needed to show up and it has delivered. Of course, it doesn't take a ton of time and space for Fink and Laubach to do their thing.

BU is an interesting matchup for them. Can be very inconsistent and young, but the talent can turn on and become deadly. Shutting down the Coles and staying out of the box would help.

Unfortunate it took this long . Congrats on the FF berth, ya'll are playing with house money at this point. After beating us Friday, I said I wouldn't be surprised if you guys went on and won it all. Good luck the rest of the way!

I don’t think Cinnamoroll is even a Penn State fan.

In fact, not sure there are any here. Which is sad since they have what appears to be a great fan based.

At least one Penn State fan is here, although I'm usually over posting in the women's hockey board. The men have had an amazing season so far (at least since January!) and are getting a lot of fan support.

I am by default! Any team with a baby shark on it gets my love (hence my crossover knowledge of both CHL and NCAA). Penn State gets extra love for having Reese Laubach, who is not only a Sharks draft pick but a San Jose native and former San Jose Jr. Shark. Plus an extra shoutout to San Jose Rhinos coaching legend Guy Gadowsky and his perfect hair.

...yes this does mean I have affection for both UConn via Muldowney and BU via Svoboda (and DU via Pohlkamp). Just gonna ride the wave of whoever gets farthest and be happy for the success. I do like when a team who has never done it before gets their prize, so perhaps the rooting edge goes to Penn State.

You love to see it. UConn and Penn State were in a similar spot, being a program on the rise for a school more known for other sports, and both getting hot at the right time for a meteoric rise (though Penn State didn't go up until it was almost too late, just to test everyone's blood pressure or something). That matchup did not disappoint. Lots of people seemed to agree that the game was tons of fun, and it looked that way. I was ecstatic it went to OT, because that game deserved it and the fans deserved more of it.
