2025-26 PSU Men's Ice Hockey Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Meanwhile, MSU beat #1 BU tonight on the road 4-2, while PSU had to go to OT to beat LIU at home.
So far, these Canadian Junior players, including McKenna, haven’t done a whole lot. In fact, Van Olm, who led the WHL in goals last season, doesn’t even have a point this whole season. One line has accounted for almost two thirds of all of the goals. I don’t expect that to continue, but this team has a long way to go to approach the level at which last season’s team played from February onward.

I’m a bit concerned about this team’s defense when conference play starts. Not sure yet if the goaltending has been consistent enough yet to make up for some of the issues at the blue line.
The top line guys also need to start finding their way offensively as well.

PSU plays like the 80s Oilers; it seems like they have to outscore teams to win, which they usually can. However, you have to be able to win some games 3-2 or 2-1 and this team seems to be incapable of doing that.
The Russian goalie covered up for poor defensive play last season, and the new goalies are going to have to do that this season. Hopefully, the big defenseman who’s out at least until Xmas does return.
I expect this team to play better as a team as the season progresses. Right now, most of this team just consists of a lot of talented individuals who haven’t played together. It’s no coincidence that the line that’s accounted for almost two thirds of the goals this season played together last season.
