Went to the MSU Spartan hockey game last night. Unfortunately, the #15 Spartans lost to Miami-Ohio, 2-1, in overtime. Fun game, over 6,400 in attendance. MSU could have played better on the offensive ends - hell Miami was seemingly in a perpetual penalty, and State even had a two-man advantage, but spent most of that time passing to the points instead of movement around the net and making good shots. Tough.
But, what the ES will say is that it is still a BLAST going to Munn Ice Arena after all these years. MSUFCU had a promotion, free two tickets for every membership, so I brought the kids... Three tickets for $10... Now that wa a GREAT deal.
MSU is 11-8-2 and #15, 6-6-1 in the CCHA. It is the swan song year for the Big Ten teams in the CCHA. Sayonara CCHA, hello Big Ten! That said, MSU has its rematch with Miami tonight at 7 pm. Go GREEN!
