          If the season ended today we would be in the NCAA playoffs! We are up to #10 in the pairwise...

          Also no surprise but Lewendowski is now the leading freshman scorer in the nation.

            I caught a few of those back when I played and would be left limping for days. Not fun. He should be good to go for PSU but might be limited in practice this week.

              A second sweep? I was pretty sure we were only allowed 1 of those per season, at most.

              Lewandowski just has the magic right now. I cannot remember the last MSU player with such a hot stick. It has to have been a decade. Last year I recall seeing PSU's Smirnov put up huge numbers as a freshman and it frustrated me that MSU, year after year, could barely get anybody over the 10 goal mark. If Cole can recruit a couple more goal scorers to stick on the 2nd or 3rd lines then we may finall see a prolific offense in East Lansing again.

                Neil Koepke's take was fairly dead-on: State played a physical "in your face" kind of game, I saw some good active sticks, a lot of challenges at the blue line and fine back checking to cover up the rare mistakes. They withstood a 5-on-3 to take the crowd out of it a little, and recovered nicely from Ferris' third period goal. That Sanford goal looked like it came from a top-line goal-scorer. Nearly impossible angle.

                I'd like to say they "played" hard rather than worked hard. That was a full 60.

                  On Cole’s show tonight he said they will sign 2 or 3 forwards in the spring.

                    That is interesting news. They're only graduating one. Kinda wondering if he's given to believe there's a forward leaving early.

                    I think State can take one of these games this Holiday weekend, given the on-paper reasons: (1) PSU fattened themselves on some pre-Thanksgiving turkey (ASU), (2) potentially sparse student section, (3) MSU's on a bit of a roll and playing with confidence.

                      (4) They've already dropped home games to AIC and Mercyhurst.

                        Sounds like some letdown goalie play.

                        Follow-up: if I interpret their stats correctly, it looks like their prime goalie (Jones) has started 12 games and his finished 9 of them. So that could be a bit telling.

                          Cole said they are short one forward this year as they chose to wait a year to fill the slot. Said they could take 3 to balance the class sizes.

                              Interestingly he’s a Dman...someone leaving early?

                                That actually makes 3 D marked for next year. Cesana(for sure), Wishman and now this guy. I do not know how Cole plans to fit everyone.
