I guess I will start. I don't know much about the Nittany Lions hockey, other than they got more votes than we did in the USCHO polls and we are ahead of them in the pairwise. Only the 2nd meeting between the two clubs, the first ended in a tie, so I guess it starts this weekend. I think after the game on Saturday against Ferris State, our boys should have a bit of momentum going into the series.... freshman and sophomores are starting out pretty good. Mantha is great as always, but will be see D'Amico in net this weekend? Should be a good weekend of hockey.

Hope to see at least a few Nittany Lion alumni, fans, at Coaches Corner 6 pm this evening.
Their coach, Guy Gadowsky, will receive a warm welcome from Seawolf fans however I'm sure he'd like to see some of his fans supporting their program.
Maybe we'll see some Nittany Lion fans at the game this evening.Didn't spot any Penn state fans., and I was if truth be told flabbergasted not a solitary _airbanks dump bear showed up to hang down with the Penn state coach as they all were so close. I anticipated at the least they would be puttin around town with him in their electric buss.
Penn State is arguably the second or third best team in B1G (for whatever that's worth.) UAA looks improved.
I think Penn State leaves Anchorage with a win and a tie.
I was very impressed listening to Tad Kozun during the Coaches Corner. Well spoken, and easy to listen to. He had some very interesting things to say about dealing with the refs. As a former ref, he can relate to the harassment that refs deal with on a game-to-game basis. He pretty much said, "Take the penalties that the refs give you. If they make a bad call, accept it instead of yelling at them. You just give them a reason to justify making an iffy/suspect call later in the game/series."
We all know Tad is a scoring leader on the team. But I see Tad becoming a vocal leader on this team in the near future. We are lucky to have him here.
The only good team Penn State has played is then #16 St. Lawrence, and Penn went 0-1-1.
Our toughest games: St. Cloud ranked #17 at the time, we lost 6-2, and then split with then #12 Bowling Green two weekends ago.
A tie and win I expect at least from UAA.

Those Nittany boys have some wheels and a pretty good forecheck.
Gave them the ability to control a lot of the game.
Hoping for a better result this evening.
Not a bad idea considering we have two week road trip starting next week.They are indeed very fast. But Thomas didn't have all of the "regulars" in the line up either.
