Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers coach Joe Battista glanced down at his yellow notepad, pointing with his pen to four boxed-off words that stood out among the litany of numbers and notes that seemed to be written in a foreign language.

But these four words, read loud and clear.

"Total lack of respect," Battista read from his sheet, words that described what he said to the No. 1 Icers (12-0-0) after playing to a lackluster 1-1 score after the first period on Friday night at Greenberg Ice Pavilion.

One period, 27 shots and five goals later, the Icers showed they got the point. And so too did No. 16 Drexel.

The Icers continued their hot start to the season, dealing the Dragons back-to-back losses -- 7-2 on Friday and 8-1 on Saturday -- demonstrating in the process that offense does win games, and at least for this weekend, can dominate too.

The slow start on Friday was compounded by the fact that Drexel seemed to hold the wildcard in junior goalie Dan Angeline, who two weekends ago frustrated the Icers, saving 49 shots in a 3-1 loss. The three goals were the lowest total for the Icers this season.

It took a spectacular individual effort to get things rolling for the Icers in the second period, as forward Glenn Zuck skated in on a two-on-one, avoided a broken stick, and fed a pass to line mate Kevin Jaeger for a one-timer that beat Angeline for a 2-1 lead.

However, it was a play after the whistle by Angeline that doomed the Dragons. During a scrum in front of his net, Angeline hit forward Bill Downey in the back with the butt end of his stick, a cardinal sin in hockey, and afterwards the Icers admitted it was the turning point in the game.

It showed in their play, as the Icers scored three straight power play goals by Downey and forwards Justin DePretis and Mike Carrano. By the time DePretis added another goal with ten seconds left in the period, the rout was on.

"The power play is deadly right now," Battista said. "We got a lot of fire power. You don't give us that many opportunities."

Still, the Icers admitted they were impressed by Angeline's play, especially on Friday.

"Their goalie played unbelievable and I saw some saves tonight that I was like 'whoa'. I thought they only did that in Hollywood," said Jaeger, who had two goals on Friday and three for the weekend.

"It was a little frustrating especially coming out of the first period tied at 1-1. They couldn't stay with us for three periods."

On Saturday, Angeline saw less action than the 58 shots he faced on Friday, but found the same result on the scoreboard. The Icers got goals from seven different players, including two goals and two assists from junior Joe Maglaque.

The Icers were particularly satisfied this weekend because of Drexel's borderline dirty play, which showed on Saturday, as it seemed the Dragons gave up any hope of winning and resorted to the darker side of hockey.

"I knew this team was going to come out and try to kill us; they tried to kill us at their place [two weekends ago]," Jaeger said.
