It wasn't perfect, but a road victory to open the season is nothing to sneeze at. The Icers scored 4 unanswered goals, 2 of them on the power play, as they rolled over the Pitt Panthers 5-1 on Friday night at the Blade Runners Arena in Harmarville, PA.
Chris Pronchik scored twice, with singles going to George Saad, Carey Bell and Rich O'Brien.
Ted Hume was not heavily tested, but was solid in net. The victory is Big Ted's 52nd career win, putting him just one behind Nick Signet (2005-09) for fourth all-time on the Icers' win list. He's four wins behind Scott Graham (1999-03) and he could become the Icers career wins leader by the end of his senior season. John Gray (1989-93)and John Sixt (1995-99) sit atop the list with 65 career victories.
I was impressed by the play of freshman Mike McDonough and sophomore Michael Longo. Both were throwing the body around, set up some scoring opportunities and had a few of their own.
Here's the Penn State goals along with post game comments from Head Coach Scott Balboni.
Game two of the opening weekend for the Icers is this afternoon at 4pm EDT. We'll have the action live on our UStream channel.
