Word on the street

Michael Barrett

Now that it’s official that Ryan Miller won’t be returning to his home state anytime soon, here’s what MSU students think about the former Spartans netminder.

“I think he found himself a good place in Buffalo. I’d like to see Miller come to Detroit as a Michigan native, but he’s fairly young to the league and he definitely needs to prove himself over the years to come to Detroit.”

“I think it would have been nice if Ryan Miller came to Detroit, but I like Osgood and I think we are all right with Osgood.”

Ben Muz

international relations senior

“It sucks because I’m an MSU student, and it would be cool if he was in Detroit and stayed where he came from.”

Jennifer Pietrowski

secondary education junior

“I’m a little sad about the Red Wings not getting him, but an MSU alum making some big names in a pro sport isn’t a bad thing at all — no matter what the team.”
