With that being said, the current roster is probably not gonna be lighting it up. I think we squeak one out 3-2.

1. Is the Tucker line still together
2. Where are the new portal transfers in the lineup? I assume the new captain, Mucha, will be 1st or 2nd line.
3. How does a player I like, Tanner Kelly, look? Will he make a leap forward this year?
4. Which returning players are likely to see less ice time?
5. Does it look like Russell, Best, and/or Shoudy will fit into Nights systems? (Can Best make the jump from NAHL and be effective at this level?)
6. How has style of play changed?
7. Of the 9 Dmen, which will be the top 6, or will they dress 7 most games.
As far as predictions, I’m waiting a few weeks, but hope for much improved scoring from the 2nd and 3rd lines. If that happens MSU could be competitive with the bottom half teams and hopefully finish in 5th or 6th place.

Hmmm but I actually kinda liked what I saw tonight? Interesting.
Third period was great, though.
Hopefully, we learned some stuff. It starts for real next week.Michigan State University Spartan Hockey66 - 86 - 0759 - 66 - 67 - 84 - 86 - 87 - 89 - 92 - 99 - 01 - 0759 - 66 - 67 - 82 - 83 - 84 - 85 - 86 - 87 - 88 - 89 - 90 - 92 - 94 - 95 - 96 - 97 - 98 - 99 - 00 - 01 - 02 - 04 - 06 - 07 - 08 - 12

There were a lot of little things I liked. I thought we caused a ton of turnovers including our backcheckers frequently catching them from behind in the neutral zone. That one I like because it’s all effort and suggests we weren’t at nearly the speed disadvantage we are used to seeing. The penalty kill was solid as well.
Jury’s out on the PP. I’d say it probably didn’t look like a strength, as I expect goal scoring also will not be. We also missed the net a ton. We’d probably have put up 50 shots if we’d hit the dang net more.
Also not sold on our goaltending battle. St. Cyr got more time which suggests he’s leading but let in all 4 goals and seemed to fumble the puck a lot when trying to handle it. His shorter stature also resulted in that 3rd goal of theirs squeaking in above his shoulder.
And it was great having that massive student section. I hope one day that becomes the norm. Surely out of 40-50 thousand students we can make a good 1500 into hockey fans one day?
Also, the bench changes really threw me off.Last edited by Pirateasaur; 10-02-2022, 11:00 AM.

I haven't seen anyone comment about Hurtig's play in the NTDP exhibition, but it appears we're going to miss the service of the big Swede for one/more games:

Looking forward to seeing it firsthand when Ohio State comes up. One question, was there any consideration on the renovation project to made it so Munn could accommodate a women hockey team?
It’s actually mildly interesting you ask because back in my peewee travel days I played with a girl who held her own among all us boys and I think ended up playing at OSU about 10-15 years ago.

Well, another good 3rd period and decent game overall that comes up short. It seems goal scoring will predictably be an issue. A couple freshman mistakes cost us. Basgall having his pocket picked and Shoudy with a…I won’t say lazy back check…I think he was probably puck watching in the corner instead of picking up his man. He almost certainly got an earful about that one.
St. Cyr looked much more comfortable which was encouraging.
There were also some interesting roster moves. I’m sure Christian Krygier and Gucciardi are sick or injured but Cal Dybicz was in for maybe the first time tonight and Justin Jalen might be more of a regular than we would have guessed. Hurtig was also scratched.
