Inexperience and fragility.
These are two major problems Guy Gadowsky has highlighted as weaknesses of his team for much of the 2021-22 campaign.
Penn State fell 3-1 to No. 5 Minnesota on Friday, despite dominating time of possession for much of the contest.
The Nittany Lions failed to capitalize on several grade-A chances and gave up the puck at pivotal moments on both ends of the ice.
Gadowsky described most of the team’s turnovers in specific as unforced errors and the major reason why it fell short Friday night.
“We find a way to make a big mistake and not necessarily because we're forced into it, but more shooting ourselves in the foot,” Gadowsky said.
