per the Centre Daily Times: Here’s why Penn State hockey isn’t looking past a sub-.500 Minnesota this weekend:
After a 20-day layoff between games, the Penn State men’s hockey team returns to action with a two-game series at Minnesota this weekend — and the opponent concerns coach Guy Gadowsky more than resuming play after college hockey’s traditional semester break.
“You need committed, disciplined people so when they go home for break they’re staying sharp. I think we’re extremely lucky because that hasn’t been a concern here,” Gadowsky said. “They’re dedicated, and they want to be in good shape.”
So, the No. 9 Nittany Lions got back to practice Monday and approached this weekend’s games as they would any other two-game Big Ten series.
A series at Minnesota always seems special, though. While the Golden Gophers’ sub-.500 overall record might fool causal observers, Gadowsky knows better. Minnesota sits fourth in the conference standings, tied with Michigan (12 points), while Penn State is sixth (11).
“They’re Minnesota, they’re excellent. They have a new coach and there might be some transition with systems, but they’re talented and they play well at home,” Gadowsky said.
