The past two weeks have been a lesson in frustration for the MSU hockey team.
It was a tale of two ties for the No. 5 MSU hockey team this weekend in the College Hockey Showcase. Things weren’t looking good Friday night against No. 13 Minnesota after the Spartans lazily gave up a shorthanded goal to trail 3-2 midway through the third period.
After struggling last weekend against Miami (Ohio), the No. 5 MSU hockey team fought back time and time again to forge a 3-3 tie with No. 13 Minnesota on Friday night at Munn Ice Arena.
The Spartans need to play smarter, not harder. That was the message delivered by ice hockey head coach Rick Comley at his weekly press conference Tuesday following two tough home losses to Miami (Ohio) over the weekend.
Coming into this weekend’s series with Miami (Ohio), the MSU hockey team had won eight straight games — the longest such streak under coach Rick Comley.

The game between No. 3 MSU and No. 1 Miami (Ohio) was everything it was supposed to be and more.
A new rivalry is slowly building for the MSU hockey team.
Junior forward Tim Kennedy, to put it lightly, is on fire. After ending last season with five goals and five assists in the final seven games, Kennedy has added nine goals and five assists in nine games this season and leads the CCHA in scoring.

The No. 4 MSU hockey team will look to win seven straight games for the first time under Rick Comley when it hosts Mercyhurst for a two-game series this weekend at Munn Ice Arena.
After a five-point outburst in Alaska, senior defenseman Daniel Vukovic has climbed atop the stat sheet and, through seven games, is the Spartans’ leading scorer.
The No. 6 MSU hockey team extended its winning streak to six games with a pair of 3-1 wins over Alaska on Friday and Saturday in Fairbanks, Alaska.

The No. 8 MSU hockey team did what it needed to do this weekend, sweeping an out-gunned Northern Michigan team at Munn Ice Arena.
For the No. 8 MSU hockey team to achieve its goal of winning the CCHA regular season championship, getting off to a good start in league play is essential.
Although the No. 8 MSU hockey team rebounded this weekend with two wins over Colgate, there is still room for improvement — particularly in regards to penalties and turnovers.
It was a weekend full of potential distractions for the MSU hockey team. Friday, the team raised its 2007 National Championship banner and Saturday, the players’ parents were recognized before the game as part of Parents Weekend.
The last time former MSU captain Chris Lawrence was on the ice at Munn Ice Arena, he was so emotional he could barely speak. On that day in April, Lawrence and his teammates celebrated the MSU hockey team’s national championship with the fans during a parade and a rally.
