The barely 18 year old kid who is second in all of college hockey in points per game is a “net detriment”. Lord Jesus - what are we doing here?

He really is. My wife and I saw the goal live and rewound twice to convince ourselves of what we had just seen. As the announcer said, brilliant.
Maybe he's a detriment to nets. As in wearing them the eff out.
Huge detriment. So much so he leads the team in points and is in top 5 in college hockey.
Are you the lady behind us yelling “shoot” when Penn State is in the defensive zone? If so, that explains your hockey knowledge.
Could the slow legs and general disorder have anything to do with skating three men down and with only nine (out of 12) forwards? There were some unusual line combos out there tonight, moreso than last night.
How did we get saddled with this bum? We need to give him a one way ticket back to Whitehorse
McKenna isn’t cut out for hockey. He should save himself the heartache and find another profession.

Sixth-ranked Penn State and Ohio State battled it out on Saturday night for the final time in the 2025-26 regular season campaign. While Game 1’s storylines weren’t replicated, Saturday’s series

Thank you for the analysis, Scotty Bowman!
Talk to me when they play MSU or Michigan in the Big 10 playoffs, they’re 1-4-3 against them this season. It’s good that they’ll probably be a third seed, but that’s probably their ceiling. Okay, Toe Blake.
By the way, they still gave up four goals in both games this weekend; they’re a bad defensive team that has to score upwards of five goals in almost every game to win, and we all know that that’s not going to happen if and when they play at Munn or Yost. But, keep hope alive!

Scotty “ice chewing” Bowman wouldn’t tolerate his team not playing defense. Gay loathes large defensive oriented players
Gay Gadowsky = James Franklin
Penn State will make the tourney but lose sooner than they should.
Mark it down.
Technically as a 2 or 3 seed in a region, they are not expected to make it out of the region.
Beating BC in Sioux Falls is doable.
Beating NoDak in Sioux Falls is a tall order.
Still plenty of hockey to play. Western is hosting NoDak for a pair to end their NCHC regular season.
PSU really needs to get healthy and take care of business vs the Domers. Sweeping Bucky after, then at least reaching the B1G final and WMU getting swept by NoDak and losing early in the NCHC playoffs could still yield a one seed. (Not likely, I freely admit.)
All that said, it remains most important (and most likely) to stay in the 3-6 seed range. That, IMO, offers a path to Vegas without going through our B1G brethren. Of course, beating one of them on their ice in the B1G semis would go a very long way toward ensuring that outcome. (And possibly open the door for PSU to lead the Albany region.)
As far as the tournament, it’s early. But the NCAA has to be fairly happy with the regionals and how they are setting up, attendance wise. Denver in Loveland and NoDak in Sioux Falls will fill up those arenas easily. Having any combo of Providence /BC/Dartmouth/Quinni/Uconn/Bentley spread around Albany and Worcester will help. I also wouldn’t be shocked if PSU managed to stay in one of those regions given PSU fans propensity to travel well. Ultimately, a lot remains left to shake out. Should be an interesting couple of weeks. Getting healthy and not losing any more forwards remains the most important thing for the Nittany Lions.
I am not a fan of Guy’s style. But he is committed to it and he is much better than Franklin im getting results.
If he gets goaltending, PSU is a definite threat to win it all.
Gophers 4 Michigan 2. You're welcome!
Okay, maybe it doesn't help you much, but I'd like to pretend.

Thank you!!!
For those ticket holders at Pegula, this means that the door to the two seed in the B1G is now open and PSU controls its own destiny there. Four regulation wins gets PSU the two seed and potentially a home semifinal!
much appreciated!
When we played the weekend series against the Gophers earlier this season, I remember thinking that they would likely be a challenge later in the season, as they were a young, but very talented, roster. I would not have picked them to defeat the E. E., but we certainly thank you for that.

Definitely need to take care of biz. That Mich loss made our NPI dip some. Providence right behind us. Anything other than 2 W’s vs ND will drop us at least one spot. And like you said, B1G 2 seed is there for the taking now. Will be tough to win next 4 though.
Crossing my fingers we get Worcester region. I am 20 mins door to door to DCU Center.
