The Penn State Icers were firing on all cylinders on Friday night, rolling over Rutgers by a score of 9-2 in the second-to-last game of the 2010-11 regular season.
It was a milestone night and a night for some outstanding performances across the board. Tim O'Brien recorded 3 assists, his 199th, 200th and 201st career points. Tim becomes just the 15th Icer to reach the 200-point plateau.
Timmy's 3 helpers all came on goals by Chris Cerutti. For Chris, it was his 5th career hat-trick and second of the season.
George Saad, Brian Dolan (who has blossomed into a solid 2-way defenseman late in the season) and Kevin Miller all scored.
I'm reserving special kudos for the line of Chris Pronchik, Joe Zitarelli and Mike Broccolo and goaltender John Jay.
Pronchik, Zitarelli and Broccolo combined for 11 points on the night - Chris gained third-star honors with a goal and three assists, Joe notched 4 assists and Mike scored his third and fourth goals of the year and added an assist.
John has been the forgotten member of the four-goalie rotation, making his first start of the year and just his second appearance. J-J turned aside 19 shots for the win.
Assuming fellow senior Ted Hume gets the start this afternoon, John will finish his Icers career with a perfect 10-0 record, 1 shutout and a miniscule 1.85 goals against average.
The senior class will be honored before today's final game of the season. Hopefully, the technical gremlins will leave us alone, allowing you to enjoy our final webcast of the season.
Speaking of gremlins, You Tube is taking over two hours to upload a four minute highlight video. Hopefully, I'll get it posted later today.
