Most Detroit Lions fans probably wish their M&M boys would just walk away from the mess they oversee at Ford Field.But at the same time, a lot of MSU hockey supporters probably wish the Spartans' version of the M&M boys would come back to Munn Ice Arena.Ron Mason and Ryan Miller are two major ingredients missing from this season's hockey stew.And things have been a little bland without them.Mason, college hockey's all-time winningest coach, manned his post behind the Spartans bench for 23 years before announcing last January that he would become MSU's athletics director.Less than seven months into his job as the head honcho of the Athletics Department, he has already fired and hired head football coaches.Miller played three seasons for MSU, where he arguably became the best college hockey goaltender of all time.In August, he announced that he would forgo his senior season to play professional hockey.After spending most of the season in the minor leagues, the East Lansing native is now enjoying his second stint with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres.Miller has started six of Buffalo's last seven games, and he earned his first-career shutout against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.He said he doesn't regret pursuing his childhood dream of playing in the NHL, even though it has prevented him from seeing his former teammates in East Lansing."I've been keeping track, keeping in touch with the guys, but I haven't been able to watch a single game," Miller said last week.
