For those unaware, the game is on Fox Sports Detroit (channel 663 on DirecTV).

Michigan State looks a lot better in the first couple of minutes here than they did against Minnesota earlier this year.

Too Many Men on the Ice penalty on Western Michigan, so State will go on the powerplay

Western kills this one as well, but that was a much better powerplay by Sparty.

Awesome.

Score is 1-0 Western. Mike Cichy scored on a weird goal in the later half of the 1st period. Game is about midway through the second.
