FYP, typo I'm sure.

Oops, yes a typo. I'm trying to do too much at one time. Thanks for correcting that!

Kampresal's own comment,"maybe we are making things to complicated, maybe we need to go with what has worked before." Hmmmm, see previous comments on watching some tape on earlier games for line combos. A win is a win but it was ugly. Penn State won in the box score, shot count and pucks being pounded behind their net back and forth. Syracuse will be a challenge and out to salvage their season at State's expense. Heising, although she may have missed your party, she did not miss those two goals. 😁

Wow, Penn State dominated in shots.

Really nice to watch hockey on tv instead of a device. Hopefully the Big Ten Network comes back to produce another game; it was great. Replays, interviews, pxp and commentary, and a really nice power play goal at the end too.

Penn State girls going to earn their scholarships with games only four, five and 8 days away. Congrats to Kampresal having the team 1 game over .500. Does Yoxheimer have any elgibilty left, I know wishful thinking? When she was leading the way, that was the last time Penn State finished one game over .500.

I sure wish Penn State would do game day interviews. Just grab a couple players in the tunnel after the game, and catch the coach, and do some quick interviews. Sounds like BTN did a good job!

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions

It's kind of a quick turnaround for Penn State, as they head to Syracuse for a Friday-Saturday series this weekend. Syracuse this season is like Lindenwood every season, and a box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get. Syracuse has split with Princeton and Robert Morris, and took Clarkson to overtime, and those are pretty much the highlights. However, they still sit in third place in the CHA, and they are one game ahead of Penn State, so this series is a big one for points. The two Syracuse goalies have a 3.51 and 3.20 goals against average, which bodes well for a Penn State team that has turned on the shooting. Syracuse averages two more penalties per game than Penn State does, so special teams will have their chances this weekend.

Good news - both games are being streamed for free (thanks, Syracuse!). Here are links for the live video:

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions

After the first period it's 1-0 Syracuse - not a very hard goal to get through the five hole when a goalie doesn't have her stick. Penn State is up 12-9 in shots, and no penalties for either team so far. It was all Penn State at the start until Syracuse settled into the game, and they ended the period looking pretty even.

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions

Syracuse is up on Penn State 2-0 after two, this second goal being a nice clean snipe. Maddi Welch in net for Syracuse has had a great game so far, with Penn State leading in shots 26-16. Both teams have taken two penalties and killed them both off. The refereeing in this game was really bad in that second period, enough so that the Syracuse announcers pointed it out, too, with Syracuse getting away with a couple of very blatant penalties. Penn State just isn't finding an answer for Maddi Welch, and they don't look as physical as they played against Lindenwood last weekend - maybe that's an extra effort to stay out of the box.

Re: 2018-19 Penn State Nittany Lions

Penn State loses to Syracuse 2-1 tonight, and it's kind of hard to figure out why. Maddi Welch was great in net for Syracuse, but she didn't face many real tricky shots, either. There's no way Syracuse would've scored their first goal if Jenna Brenneman's stick hadn't been ten feet in front of her and laying on the ice - that left a five hole the size of the arena. Their second goal was really nice, though. The third period was pretty much all Penn State, but the Syracuse curse just kept rolling (Penn State hasn't beaten Syracuse since 2015). Tomorrow will be interesting.
