Mooney 4-2
LJ winning faces is HUGE since than the top line gets to play with the puck more and use their offensive skills rather than having to defend.
Mooney likes to pass (not necessarily) a bad thing.
Last season as a freshmen he led the team in assists 4 more than Luke Mitts and 7 more than Lamb.
At times I want him to be a little more selfish he definitely can finish.
Quote: Rau 4 SkiUMah 2.0Third game in a row with no Nevers or Townsend. Moe and Pritchard have been great but would there be any wisdom in rotating that bottom line? Or just let them run until they give you a reason to switch things up?
Eh, Moe can sit at some point, he's been a bit of a plug this year
Time to get another goal. Totally outplaying them but letting them hang around.
Fleming is holding Penn State in this game.
Shots 23-9
Scoring Chances 11-3
Mooney has had multiple great chances but Fleming has gotten the better of him SO FAR!!!!!
Couple of times caught standing and PSU with a couple good chances they fan on. Really need to find another one

Definitely got loose again for a bit, similar to the start of the game. Need to tighten up.
1-0 end of 2 after a good kill
Really prefer if we go ahead and score a couple here early in the 3rd. Current game feels uneasy
W Cullen misses an empty net on the delayed penalty and gophers to the PP
Horrible PP
2nd unit needs to shoot the puck. 1st really struggles it feels like taking over late/mid kill
1-1 Poirier
Bob Motzko hockey on that sequence.
Sluggish period. Need a spark.
no one going to the net!
We need to stop passing up shots.
SHOT THE PUCK!!!!!
Love how their goalie stops everything and if they get a good chance they bury it. Been that way for years now.
Really disappointed in Ziemer's effort level this year. Between that and the mental mistakes he makes, he hasn't looked good
We keep trying to stick handle pass the goalie.
Fleming stops several grade As
PSU player just grabs the stick and takes it, no call?
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Penn State has done a good job of blocking our shots when we have taken them this period.
1-1 end of regulation
Man we blow a lit of tires
Larson mentioned how bad our record is post UND series. Can certainly see why. Everything looks hard tonight
Hopefully we can win this here, probably gonna need LDP to come up with a big save because Fleming likely will.
Quote: Jankwi01We pass to much
It'd be one thing if they didn't miss so many lol but yeah I agree.
The skill level is just nowhere good enough for 3v3 OT when teams sit and basically trap
Why the heck is Ludtke out their?
Fleming 1st star
LDP 2nd
the rest don’t matter. Win tomorrow night and I can at least stomach that post UND
Quote: Jankwi01Why the heck is Ludtke out their?
He’s their best FO man by far

Well we're still one year removed from Motzko having a rough recruiting cycle so that's not entirely unexpected.
Quote: Jankwi01@upnorthkid are we bad?
We look like we played our guts out last week and the emotions are an issue.
Gotta love LJ lol
Quote: trixR4kidsGotta love LJ lol
I would love it more if he’d do that on his 5v5 breakaways
1-1 SOL
This team is very sorry.

That is quite a bit more difficult with a guy chasing you (also I don't remember if he had any today) but yeah I agree. Fleming played great and this team still has issues with passing the puck like they did last year.
That’s what you get for effing around. Penn State is bad.

Oh Fleming played out of his mind for sure.
looked like a pretty classic team post playing a really emotional game where the focus and edge is just a little lacking and you then lose the details. They’re still significantly more talented than psu which my worry was they just got up for last weekend (like we saw last year) and that und was a fluke. I feel better despite how that game went. Really needed to score a couple early tonight and I think they would’ve won comfortably
So fucking predictable. Eyes rolled all the way in the back of my head.
