Michigan State plays at Michigan tonight, on BTN.
(Big Ten should save the Michigan State vs Michigan hockey games for after the football season. But whatever. I'm guessing they are trying to get some of the Michigan State vs Michigan football fervor to spill over to the hockey week. I guess I can see that logic.)
Anyway, here's the latest on Michigan State hockey, Neil's Notebook:

And here's a good quote from Danton Cole from his press conference this week:
“I would have liked to have started the season how we played last Friday and Saturday, if that had been our first weekend."
Michigan State split with No. 6 Penn State. Michigan State won the first game 2-0. Cole felt Michigan State actually played better in the second game, losing 4-2.
Michigan State is 3-5, having been swept by Top 10 Cornell, and splitting with Penn State, Colorado College and Northern Michigan.
“What I’m pleased with is our identity here has been a white collar university with blue collar people, and getting that blue collar work ethic going, and going after it, and being steady with it for 60 minutes - that’s what I’ve been happy with," Cole said. "We’re kind of working toward that. That’s how we have to play and the guys are figuring that out.
“Patrick Khodorenko, his game is rising and he is carrying us a bit. Him figuring that out and being comfortable with that, and the other guys figuring out that we are a little deeper, a little faster and I think a little better than we were my first two years, and starting to play that way, and believe that. I don’t care what your record is you have to have a little bit of swagger. You have to start that game saying, ‘If we take care of business, we’re winning this game.’ I think we’re starting to get there and sometimes how you execute follows your belief.”
