2025-26 PSU Men's Ice Hockey Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Still 8 in NPI. Have some work to do to try to get a few higher and try to get a 2 seed in a region.
Per Gadowsky’s media availability today, Ford will miss some time due to injury.
Cerrato, Van Olm and Aman were described as day-to-day.

If PSU had a division 1 hockey team during the 1980’s, I wonder if Mike Richter would have been interested in playing for Penn State.
It’s going to be hard to see your team if you’re sitting in the nose-bleeds
I hope you are correct. Yes the team is young. The biggest concern there is that there are not as many leaders. Also the defense is not as talented (yet?) and inexperienced.
Regarding Pa. recruits, I think this will change in your favor sooner than later. The frozen four run will pay dividends going forward.
Playing shorthanded tonight. Injury dance card is full. And I’m disappointed by how much Domer trash is in the building. Thank goodness the students are back.
Goal for PsU disallowed. B1G refs at their finest. 0-0 with 12:18 left in the first.
Domer in the sin bin. PP upcoming, 7:50 left first.
GoOoOoOooaallll!!! DiMarsico from Misa and McKenna. 1-0, 7 minutes left first.
Garbage holding on Crespo is a gift PP for Domers. 4:20 left.
Killed the penalty, now on the PP which will extend into the second. 1-0, with a minute of PP to open the second. Refs completely inept tonight.
Domers killed our PP. They know we are shorthanded and are hitting hard, sometimes dirty. First Gadowsky had to leave and hasn’t left the bench, now Dowiak takes a hard boarding with head contact. Five minutes AYCE. Hope we make them pay, then steal their lunch money and their girl and wreck the team bus.
Good news is Gadowsky is back on the ice, and Dowiak has returned as well. Bad news is almost four minutes gone of PP and nothing to show.
GoOoOaoOoaoaallllll! DiMarsico again from Misa and McKenna. PP is over, 2-0, 12:21 to go second.
Matching minors, 4on4 for 2. Now another crap holding on Crespo. B1G refs in extremely poor form. Domer goal during 4on3. 2-1, 8:10 left second.
Refs finally see obvious slash, Lions get a PP with 6:49 left second. Couple nice chances, but no joy. Domers got a breakaway with guy coming out of the box but Fleming stoned him. Refs finally realize Domers are out of control, another PP for PSU after roughing.
GoOoOoOoAllllll!!! Misa from Schoen and Smith. 3-1, two minutes left second.
Refs now give Domers another gift PP. Fleming with two great saves before the horn. 3-1 end second, Domer PP has 25 more seconds. TOI numbers may be off the charts for most of our guys tonight. The light seems to have gone off for Misa. He’s REALLY been buzzing on his shifts.
Killed Domer Pp, but now they have another with Schade in the box. 3-1, 15:30 to go. Another Domer PP dies. Domer goalie makes miraculous save on Laubach trying to bury a rebound. Score remains 3-1, 12:57 to go.
Now 8:45 left, still 3-1. Clock reads 5:26, still 3-1. Domers were going to have a PP, but McKenna won the race to touch up and got boarded. 4on4 for 2., 4:46 to go. Crap penalty on Laubach, 4on3 for a spell. Make that 5on3 as Domer net empty. All PP killed. 3-1 with 2:09 to go, six on five.
GoOoOoOoOoAalllllll!!!! DiMarsico hat trick makes it 4-1, 1:46 to go.
Final, sort of surprised the boys didn’t play the feud at the end.

There was some great passing on the PSU PP prior to the goal
Yes, passing was crisp, and has been pretty good this evening. I hope these guys are in great shape, because TOI is going to be high for many of them. Likely shorthanded tomorrow as well.
ND pretty on the edge of dirty with this new Coach compared to years past with long tenure coach.
Feel like I am watching the junior Fla Panthers.

Thanks for the summary. You do a great job.
As Moops alluded to, tonight could be tough. ND will not go away quietly. Will we be short players with a few more maybe dinged last night.
6 currently in the NPI. Hate to say a must win, but I will say it. 3pts and move to 2nd in B1G, keep #6 headed into series next week with Wisconsin who is currently #7 in NPI and 3rd in B1G. ND NPI is so low a L could drop us to 8 and allow depends below that to creep closer.
A lot of tough hockey ahead. Need to get the Ws over teams below us.

Do you think that Gadowsky is trying to get by the ND series without risking the “day to day” players, and most of them will be ready to go for Wisconsin? If we don’t get some bodies back, the upcoming weekends probably won’t be kind.
Why? Losing to the Domers would hurt us more than a loss to Bucky or Sparty? And judging by TOI last night, Mac did return to the ice but not much, as he had less than 9 minutes TOI. If one of the day to dayers is available and being held back, we might see him with Mac dinged up.
Dowiak took several hard shots last night and kept getting up off the ice. And when Mizzutti (sp) from the Domers took a cheap shot at our 18 year old, Dowiak was one of the first responders in the corner and continually jawed with the dastardly Domer on his way to the sin bin. He wears the C well.
We are in VERY good shape in the NPI and have eight chances (minimum not counting B1G tourney) move up in the next two months.

Yep. Need to get the Ws vs ND and OSU, which is never easy in any B1G game. 4 more games with Wisconsin, 2 with MSU, 2 with Michigan. Glad we are playing the MSU and OSU ones at home.
Yost has been a house of horrors over the years. I would take a split there if at all possible.
I agree with you that we are in very good shape in NPI unless something crazy happens. Team will need to be healthy when we get to B1G and NCAA time.
Gadowsky is a scratch tonight. Fascia moves to last defensemen and no extra skater. Domers may double down on last night’s strategy of hyper aggression knowing they could win a war of attrition with some puck luck against a team down two skaters.
GoOoOaoaoaoaoaaallllll! Wiebusch serves up some twine on an early breakaway!!!!! 1-0 17 seconds in! from Crespo and Laubach
GoOoOoOoAalllllll!!!! Jackson Smith puts the biscuit in the basket from the blue line! 2-0 from Crespo and Fink. 12:34 left first.
Katzin heads to the box for a mystifying holding call. Abdul Carter would’ve thrived with this B1G crew. Penalty killed, Reidler has two very impressive saves thus far.
Another penalty on PSU. Domers have a man advantage for all of 17 seconds before they commit a penalty. Four on four. Teams return to even strength. 2-0 5:47 to go first.
Domers get on the board. 2-1, 1:36 to play first. Annnnd tie it seconds later on a rebound. 2-2, 1:21 left first. A disappointing end to the period. Domers playing the same way and our guys can’t retaliate.
GoOoOoOoOallllll! The kid pots one, from Smith! 3-2, Guy’s guys. 14:59 left second. Good heavy pressure from Lions thus far.
Scrum in front of Reidler results in double minors. Back to 4on4 for 2. 3-2, 12 minutes left second. Another dastardly Domer heads to the sin bin. 4on3 for 30 seconds, then 5on4. Ugh, some bad passes led to a shorty for the Domers. 3-3, 8:49 to go second.
Laubach now in the box. 6:29 to go. Boarding, on the jerk Domer Mizzati. Would love to see Collins throw down with him. That said another PP for the Domers. Annnd, Degraves steals the puck and draws a penalty on Domer jerk Missati. Annnd another Domer into the sin bin. Refs have caught on. 4:32 to go, PSU PP.
GoOoOoOlOoallllllll! DiMarsico red hot, back on top 4-3. 4:14 to go, from Wiebusch and Fink.
Domers back on the PP, Schoen for cross check. 1:40 left second. PP killed as second period ends. 4-3 with one hard period left.
Ugh, hooking on Wiebusch. Domer PP, 18:21 to go third. Penalty killed, nice chance for Katzin and JJ but no joy. 15:21 to go.
Lions now on PP. Not much doing, and now Smith ends the PP with a hard cross check. 12:01 left, 4on4 for 42 seconds, then Domer PP. PP killed, Chin-Degraves took a hard dirty hit. Hope he’s ok. 4-3, 9:29 left.
GoOoOoOoOoalllllll! The kid buries a rebound. 5-3, from Fink and Misa. 8:46 to go.
Lions PP for a dastardly Domer penalty. 3:13 to go. Penalty killed, now Wiebusch off for boarding. 1:26 and the dirty Domer net is unattended. Under review for head contact.
GoOoOoOalllll! The kid passes to Dowiak who pots the empty netter. 6-3, 12 seconds left. I’ll call it final.
