Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Adam Georgina with you. It's time for the postgame show
on the ice. Yukon just does not know what to
do with itself, standing around waiting from an answer from somewhere,
someone to tell them that their season didn't end the
best season in program history, one of the final eighteens

(00:22):
left standing in college hockey. Penn State wins it three
to two in overtime. Here in Allentown, it's the Nittney
Lions heading to the Frozen four ten days from now
in Saint Louis. Will recap the scoring for you, and
it started strong for Yukon. They never trailed until they lost.
They led one, nothing to one. And for Yukon, it

(00:44):
got started just three minutes in the top line of
Joey Muldowney, Jake Richard and Hudson Shandor broke the seal.
Muldowney steps up to try to pinch the puck in
the zone but cannot, and now John spats over to
Hudson Shannon Door who forces a turnover. It's chipped to
the near boards offensive zone. Rashard drops it back. Muldowney

(01:05):
rich shot Pete gone. Three minutes nine seconds in, Yu
Khan has struck first. So that's the first goal, and
it took ten minutes for Penn State to get the equalizer. Again,
Penn State never led until they won it. Dane Dowie

(01:29):
ac six minutes thirty three seconds to go in the
first period leveled the score at one. A deflection goes
in behind the net into Penn State's offensive. Vent from
behind the net, a dangerous spot, a shot and a score.
A one timer for the Nitney Lions. Dane Dowey act
breaks through. The Nitney Lions had been buzzing and there's

(01:52):
only so much that Callum Tung could do to hold
that off. Shots favorite Penn State seventeen to six after
a period of play. But Yukon they found some luck
on a puck that bounced high into the air well.
We'll let you hear it. They tied the gate or
they took the lead. In the second period, Taper Heaslip
made it to one. Spats with a bomb from a point.

(02:15):
It takes a loud rebound, but nobody's home on the
backside for Yukon. Heaslip with a loft into the middle
a deflection, what you larker?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
He scores.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yu Khon leads to to one on a puck that
deflected into the air.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
It puts her kiv.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
On an absolute merry go round trying to track this
puck and then it was Hugh Larkin who got enough of.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
It to redirect.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, and Hugh Larkin took a big swipe at it
on the doorstep, but he never touched it.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It is taper.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Heaslif credited with that goal, and it was, but it
was Hugh Larkin taking a big whack at it that
seemingly threw off Sergeyev and allowed that puck to go
in and for Yukon they had the two one lead,
but it was short lived, as just thirty seconds later
Penn State. They wanted an answer, and they got one
from JJ wee Bush. Here comes Penn State immediately off

(03:20):
of Yukon, grabbing its second lead of the day. A
rist out in front from the right circle, a rich
shot score Penn State with an immediate answer.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Wee Bush was having none of it.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Following the taper, he slipped goal and the game is
tied at two, and the game would remain tied at
two through the third period and into overtime and Yukon
outshot Penn State in the game.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
They outshot Penn State twenty.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Eight to thirteen after the start of the first period,
twenty eight to thirteen after the start of the third period,
and yet it was Penn State that got the goal
from Matt Demarcico, and they're the ones moving on to
the Frozen four. Both teams hoping for home run passes

(04:14):
and a bad bounce. Here's Penn State slamming on the
brakes in the offensive zone. It's knocked away on a
would be connecting pass. Hugh Larkin plays it out of
the zone, but Penn State is there to cover up.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Night's move laid by Serrato.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
He sends a blind path a Rich Shott score.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's it. Yukon season has ended. Turnover by Hugh Larkin.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's Penn State on to the Frozen four for the first.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Time in hits program's history.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
One of these two teams would be a first timer,
and it's Penn State advancing. April tenth, in a matchup
with Boston University,
