...Good takes all around...just to hit them quickly.<br /><br />There's literally no event that fills every seat it sells, whether the NHL or PSU football. I think 15K is low, I'll say around 17K for actual people in the building - there were empties scattered around, but no way was it close to 1 in4 seats.<br /><br />Honestly, every single person had a better view than me, so I'll defer to you and the TV guys (who also said no goal). I found out there was a monitor above my head with about 5 minutes left in the game, but only had the scoreboard from distance at the time.<br /><br />I thought the PP's execution was getting there just before and after the New Year and that the goals would come, but we probably took a step back this week - the obvious place to go is the flux on D, especially Juha being out, as he's maybe our best PP D in both getting to the zone and setting up when there. Jensen's a good one too, and he missed the NTDP weekend.<br /><br />Skoff's legit. I haven't bothered to back out his first two games, but he's been incredible overall since October 19th. If P.J. Musico, who is in fact better than Wawa, ends up being a number three, it's safe to say we're stacked in goal.<br /><br />Two words: Nick Luukko. I thought it was a little tacky that daddy demanded UVM be the home team, but he's in charge and we want to play in games like that.<br /><br />It's really incredible when you consider this is all with EIGHT pure ACHA guys on the team. You know I'll always have their back, but it's going to be exciting to see what the talent upgrades over the next two years do for this team. Not much help as far as pure puck moving D until Pellah is in, but I'm a big Thompson guy. I think he's Mark Yanis physical, with more offensive upside. My only beef is that we're not blowing out these DIII and ACHA teams, and in fact have lost three of those games. But other than that, there's nothing to not be pumped about this year.<br /><br />MSU will be interesting - first time playing major conference opponents on consecutive weekends.Kyle Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988727251887693489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327069433246447816.post-49003369764595383562013-01-20T16:49:48.591-05:002013-01-20T16:49:48.591-05:00Last night was a ton of fun. Went down with the L...Last night was a ton of fun. Went down with the Lancaster chapter of the Alumni Association. Obviously winning made it all that much better. The crowd was large, but no way I'll agree that there were over 19,000 there. I'll give 15,000. Still a huge crowd for college hockey. <br /><br />Still not sure what the ref saw to allow the JK10 goal. It was close but I never saw proof.<br /><br />Our PP needs something. A QB maybe? Seems like we have trouble entering the zone.<br /><br />We seem set at goalie for a while.<br /><br />It was odd that the crowd was 95% PSU, yet the goal horn sounded and the music blared on the PA following the first VT goal. <br /><br />We have some talent. If we can upgrade our talent in such a way that our top line now becomes our second line, I think we can compete offensively with the better teams. We need better puck movement from our D overall and especially on the PP. Skoff can play. If McAdam is better, we are in great shape.<br /><br />Can't wait to see how we do against MSU.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740936245768666094noreply@blogger.com
