The Penn State Icers and Ohio Bobcats battled each other tooth and nail this past weekend, with the Icers coming out on top of both games at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion.
The old barn was rocking all weekend as the Icers came away with 3-1 and 3-2 victories to take three of the four season games between the long-time rivals.
Ted Hume backstopped the wins, his 16th and 17th of the season. Teddy was strongest in the second period of both games, when the Icers found themselves in a heap of penalty trouble.
Good penalty killing starts with good goaltending -- with a good dose of skating and forechecking thrown into the recipe. The mix worked, because the Icers PK was a perfect 11 for 11 on the weekend.
Tim O'Brien was the hero of Saturday's win, scoring with 3:13 left in regulation time and assisting on Joe Zitarelli's 1st period goal.
Joe was inserted into the lineup in place of Nick Seravalli, who came down with a bug after scoring in Friday's victory.
Due to a technical glitch we don't have the full post-game from Saturday (with apologies to the Hume family), but here's Tim and the coach talking about next weekend's home-and-home series with West Chester.
