PSU Hockey vs Michigan at 6:30.
- Thread starter PSUWrestlingFanSince2011
- Start date
It’s on ESPN2 now.
Bonus drinking game… take a drink every time a Michigan fan says or shows a sign that says “Go Blue” even though they’re wearing yellow and Penn State is wearing blue.
I have no doubt that Michigan is going to come out flying in the 3rd. Penn State needs to play great defense and/or come up with some nice counterattacks. They’ve been smart on getting the puck out of their own zone and through the neutral zone. Need to keep that up!
Note: Penn State’s goal was on a power play. Their only power play so far of either game in Allentown.

Psu is fun but strange to watch. Unbelievably high pace creates some sloppiness but that’s not necessarily a bad thing against a team with structure. Really good sticks, and love the same side indirect passes up the boards. Also not afraid to make the simple pass. Buckle up, gonna be a frenetic third.
The third period will be like the third period of The Miracle on Ice game.
PSU actually outplayed them after giving up the tying goal. The difference is that the other team has elite offensive talent and PSU doesn’t.
Who cares? Michigan was the seeded team and they won a game in OT
Tough to criticize Penn State. It was a great game.
Penn State missed an open net just before the penalty that lead to Michigan’s game tying goal. Oh, if only.
Regardless, good year overall and really good tournament for Penn State. They took a step forward this year. Really looking forward to the next step.

Agreed--would have loved to have won this game but there's so many positives from this season
Great season ? ? ? The team was 4 and 9 in their last 13 games The team collapsed the second half of the season Won only 3 games in conf What happened ?
They're a team that lacked offensive talent. Even with the skid they played well in the majority of those losses and played a hell of a game against Michigan. They dominated Michigan Tech. They've solidified themselves as a top-tier program. Need to take another step next year.
The difference between a Michigan and Minnesota and a PSU is that the former two programs have rosters filled with NHL draft picks, and a lot of them are first round picks, whereas PSU does not. That has to change if PSU is going to take the next step. For instance, Logan Cooley, who grew up in the Pittsburgh area, was a freshman this past season on Minnesota and the Coyotes' number one draft pick in 2022 and finalist for the Hobey Baker Trophy; he's the kind of player that PSU must start landing.
Right they do but it takes time to build a program to get to Minnesota's level. How far we've come in a short period of time is impressive
Yes, I agree with that. It's amazing how far this program has come in a such a short time, and that they won a Big 10 Tournament Championship in 2017 and a Big 10 Regular Season Championship in 2020, and now play in a tremendous facility. I actually saw my first game at Pegula against MSU on a Saturday night this past November and was blown away by that place.
