Michigan State Hockey 202?-202?

The U18 is a strong team. That having been said, it just feels like more of the same old, same old (e.g., lack of scoring) where this team is concerned.

For what it’s worth(not much) Notre Dame also dropped their exhibition against the U-18 team.

But as we’ve already determined, it’s the goose egg that has us worried, not the loss.

Well, good thing it doesn’t count.

Losing to the U18 doesn’t mean much. Getting shut out, however, feels like a bad omen.

In presser today Cole gave current first two lines.
1 - Middendorf Nodler Loughran
2 - Lewandowski Papp Davidson

3rd center is Muller

Season starts in 6 days with exhibition at Plymouth. Not sure what to expect this year, but defense and goaltending should be fine. Offense can’t get worse. Reports are that Lewie, Middendorf, and Davidson are especially looking good. Looking forward to the Air Force series when I can get my first look.

It’s been a year and a half since I’ve seen a hockey game in person so I’m very excited. It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long but the last 18 months sometimes feel like they never existed, somehow.

As a result, I’ve never known less about an MSU hockey team heading into the season.

Add commit from Arvega Hovsepyan…probably a 2023.

I see we lost Nikita Tarasevich to the OHL's Sting. Sadly, probably one of Cole's better recruits.

Riley Bassen committed to MSU today. A highly skilled Texas kid…a good pick up…hopefully he makes it to campus in a couple years.

More from Neutral Zone on Bassen:

First '05 in the recruit pipeline, I'm hopeful that 3.75 star ranking is just a baseline and that he'll move it up with lots more viewings in the coming years.

So, the schedule is out.

After doing some snooping, it seems like we're either playing UM at LCA on 2/11 or we're not playing them in Detroit at all this year. (The Wings are out of town and the Pistons will be at home on 2/10. No other events have been scheduled at LCA for that date.)

Full schedule for MSU and rest of Big 10 to be released Monday at 11 eastern time.

All the talk today is about this Big 10/ACC/Pac-12 scheduling alliance. Isn't that what B1G hockey was last year already? #trendsetter
