At the risk of sounding like an ***, (wouldn't be the first time and no that is not my intent) that was a fantastic hockey game. Both defenses and special teams (penalty kill) came to play. Both defenses did not surrender the middle. That was like watching a championship game. I haven't seen my Gophers get outshot 12 to 28? We were F#$%$%^ lucky to win that one. That redirect shot was the textbook definition of puck luck.
Glad we don't play you guys soon. Not looking forward to the series at Pegula.
Cheers!
It was a great game. Penn State did out play us for most all of the game.Please stop. You don’t fear PSU. No MINNY. hockey athletic supporter does.

Most of my opinion was based on Saturdays game. I'd never watched a Gophers game where the team only got off 12 shots. Not for one period. The whole game! The middle was shut down. IIRC 10 or 11 were very odd angle shots. I knew that either team would either win in a shootout or a garbage goal/ lucky fluke type goal. I'd say it was the best defensive effort I'd seen in some time. That's just me though.Wasn’t able to see much of the series vs the Gophers, but the defense was not sharp against St Lawrence earlier. The goalie was sharp in that series. But there were some bad giveaways, including one bad pass from behind the net straight to the stick of our foe. How it didn’t draw netting I have no idea.
Balance would be nice. Not a lot of that at Pegula through the years. Outside of Peyton Jones and some hot Souliere, goaltending has been average at best.
