The Icers toppled the Sooner Schooner on Saturday and in doing so righted their own ship. The 3-0 victory over the other OU ended the two-game skid and gave Penn State a weekend split after Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to Central Oklahoma.
Saturday's matinee with the Sooners was a tight affair until Dan Meiselman opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season at 4:41 of the second period.
Meiselman added his second of the game at 3:27 of the third (even though the goal was credited to Chris Cerutti).
Paul Daley assisted on both goals, giving the senior 99 career points.
Just two minutes later, Taylor Holstrom notched his first power play goal of the season and his 8th overall.
The Sooners had no answer for Matt Madrazo, who stopped all 22 OU shots to pick up the win and his second shutout of the season.
To all those who had planned on watching on UStream, we had a connection to the wifi at the Blazers Ice Centre, but for some reason I could not get a connection to the internet.
To make matters worse, our cell feed to 3WZ-FM in State College was interrupted by a weak cell signal in the arena. I wound up having to disconnect the cell phone from our mixing equipment and hold it like a microphone. During the final two periods I tucked the phone under the earpiece of my headset.
To say the least, it was an awkward situation, but at least the call got back home and Barb was able to route it from her laptop to our desktop computer and then to UStream!
I can't tell you how nice it will be to be back in the comfortable confines of the Greenberg next weekend when Rhode Island comes to town.
The team and staff enjoyed a post-game dinner with Icers Hall of Fame goalie John Davis. John drove up from his home in Dallas to catch the game and catch up with Coach Gadowsky and the squad.
John wasn't the only Penn State fan this weekend, with lots of folks decked out in blue and white at both games in the Heartland.
I'm not looking forward to an early morning on Sunday with a return flight to Philadelphia via St. Louis and then the bus ride back to Hockey Valley. We should be back just in time to see the Broncos finish off the Steelers.

Will Saturday's game be available to watch?
