Penn State goes off
Finally, I want to talk about something that is hilarious to me. You know that corsi-related panic where stats-phobic people are like, Well then why don’t you just shoot the puck every time you come over the blue line?
That’s what Penn State does in actual practice. Despite the fact that they don’t have the talent level of most other teams in college hockey (that’s what only having two years of actually being a Div. 1 program will do for you), they lead the nation in shots on goal with 963 in just 23 games this season (41.9 per game). They understandably also concede a pretty decent amount (710, or 30.9 per) but if you don’t have the talent level, that’s certainly going to go a long way toward helping you win.
If this team had any type of goaltending, it would be one of the best in the country.
