Penn State

Re: Penn State

Now the real season will start, we will see how Penn State can match up in the Big 10 starting with Michigan in two weeks. Overall the Big 10 has enjoyed a good start but time will tell if they can keep that pace through the year. I think we will see a couple of Big 10 teams make the tournament this year, Good luck to all!
 
Re: Penn State

Great start to the first half of the season, have a great break and come back even more determined for the second half. When you are at the top everyone is trying to knock you down but Penn State is used to that.
 
Re: Penn State

I'm impressed with your team and it's quick rise in college hockey after being a club team 5 years ago. How have they done it so quickly?
 
Re: Penn State

It starts with a great facility for sure but the coach Gadowski has been around for a long time built up Princeton and Alaska both over his years there. His assistance coaches need a lot of credit as well for recruiting as well as they have but it is early so I would have to think that they will fall a little but would like to see them challenge for a spot in the tournament. It is a very fun place to watch college hockey and would rate up there with any of the top college rinks and student section.
 
Re: Penn State

Depending on what you believe Penn State's strength-of-schedule is from 22 (USCHO-RPI) to 35 (USCHO-KRACH) to 48 (Massey).

I've been wanting to post but I had forgotten my password and was too lazy to recover it until now lol. Very excited about this team. Saturday's game was a thriller as we essentially knew our first ever #1 ranking was on the line and MSU gave us everything they had for 2.5 periods. Was awesome when we finally broke the game open. Very excited about this team and excited to go see them in Philly in a couple weeks.

Huge series against Ohio State coming up first, though. I'm sure we'll need both of those games to maintain our spot.

Re: Penn State

Looks like Penn State is going to have to develop some grit real soon their small forwards were cruising early in the year but look more like marshmallows now down the stretch. They look like an easy team to coach against over the last 3 weeks and not sure why the juggling of all the lines all of a sudden but they better get it together real soon or they will fall right out of the rankings.
 
Re: Penn State

Man, the Nittany Lions better stop this free fall soon... They have almost played their way out of the NCAA tournament. Is Jones hitting a wall between the pipes? I know the level of competition has increased the last couple of weeks, too. I know they get another shot at Minnesota in a few weeks. C'mon boys, let's right the ship!
 
Re: Penn State

Good to see the boys have a good game last night hopefully they can keep it going, the games will get tougher from here on in.

Mostly due to either sitting out players, sickness or injury. For instance, they'll have to adjust for Kerr being out this weekend so moving the D lines around a little will be necessary.

As for getting tougher, definitely the next two weeks. After that we'll see. It should be a good pair of games this weekend and hopefully much different than playing in Minn. since they're coming off a great pair of road wins. But Wisco will be on the hunt to redeem themselves coming into the Peg.
