Yes indeedly!

That's an Olympic-sized statement MSU made by getting 5 of 6 points in that rink!

Someone may have noted this, but MSU picked up their first commitment from CHL in Chase Reid. Big 6'1 16-year-old defens(c)eman who had 60 points in 65 games with Victory Honda last season, and skates for Soo Greyhounds this season.

Minnesota is no longer Olympic-sized…now 4 feet wider than Munn.

also Matt Lahey (D) verbal for next year.

That's a big boy.

I should correct myself and say that Savin Virk is the other current CHL player committed to the Spartans, though he did so while on a BCHL program.

MSU needs two dmen for next year. Matt Lahey is one and the second is Tyson Jugnauth. Tyson spent 1 1/2 years at Wisconsin and is currently playing in the WHL.

Just focusing for a bit on that puny number, the program is in pretty good shape. It seems both of these guys can step right in and contribute, and Lahey's bonus is his size.
 
First stab at a way-too-early NCAA tournament prediction.

It’s hard to not get too excited to think we can indeed win a national title. I know it’s a crapshoot, but many years, the cream does rise to the top as BC and Denver repeatedly show. I think we may be the best team in the nation, or at least 2nd or 3rd.

I'm kind of in awe of the kind of program this is becoming, and what Nights can get out of his team. It's amazing that MSU can do what they did to the #3 hockey team Friday, and then come back and perform with the same energy the following night - dominating in the faceoff circle, winning battles in the corners, and arguably giving up just 1 goal that wasn't of the quirky variety. They're doing this without Savage, who's probably out for the rest of the season.
