Re: MSU Spartan off-season - the grand flame-out

nice to see that we might actually get some what of a student section during break... it killed us in the ccha playoffs last season

The student ticket package is on sale now, apparently. (Edit: I've been told this link shouldn't be live yet. Don't click on it until August 1st.)

$105 for 18 games, including the Michigan game during winter break - it's refreshing to see the AD's making the home UM game available to students, despite the stupidity from Farmington Hills.

For the record, this season's schedule

Looks like a great opportunity to get off to a big start in the first 10 games or so.

Exactly. Gives you some idea of how many grains of salt you should take that analysis with.

Gosh, do you think it might be possible that he's actually GOTTEN BETTER since March? That sort of thing does tend to happen with time and effort. Come October, we'll all get to judge for ourselves - until then, someone else's viewpoint is all we have.

"Dean Chelios is a sniper, pure and simple, a player who hustles up the ice with the puck on his stick skating faster than the puck-less players sent to track him down, and he's small but competes his butt off."

Where was this Dean Chelios last year?

Has the potential to do a lot of things Dean didn't do his rookie season. It was cool to see Fischer's name come up as part of this.

Do you know what the other team's name will be? (Team "Datsyuk" maybe?).
It will be interesting to see what Dean will look like in this thing - also how well Palmisano does.

Team Lidstrom

Palmisano didn't receive the glowing review that Jake did.

"Jake Chelios? Slick. Slick slick slick. Still raw at points and perhaps so balanced that he doesn't stick out, but he's skates well, shoots well, passes well, sees the ice well, competes, works hard, and looks like somebody on his way to bigger and better things."

Matt Deblouw (Muskegon USHL) has committed to MSU for either 2011 or 2012.

Re: MSU Spartan off-season - the grand flame-out

I agree that Tropp leaving is bad, but not crippling. We have lost a tremendous amount of leadership and offensive punch, but we also have a tremendous amount of young talent that is yet to find it's stride. I think the Juniors will have a break out season, right on cue. It will be important to establish quality lines right out of fall camp so we don't have to spend months trying to figure out how we are going to score goals.

Re: MSU Spartan off-season - the grand flame-out

At this rate, we'll have our schedule released by... December.

I hope it will at least have the scores and video highlight links updated

No. Our athletic department equates slowness with style.

In happier news: Drew Miller signs one-year deal, will remain a Red Wing.
