Shaved Ice – Dec. 9

The Spartans come to Yost tonight…

Quick hits

It was something you don’t see very often – at least in an NHL game. The Red Wings won their game against the Phoenix Coyotes in the first 20 minutes. Now, Phoenix didn’t forfeit the game, but Detroit posted five – yes, five – goals on them in the first period. The Wings didn’t score any goals for the rest of the game, because they really didn’t need to. Here’s our recap from their 5-2 win, with quotes from Valtteri Filppula and Jimmy Howard.

Michigan vs. Michigan State. I shouldn’t have to elaborate much more on that one. The in-state rivals meet in Ann Arbor tonight, then take the rematch to East Lansing tomorrow. We’ll be at both the games, so keep an eye on our Twitter posts for in-game updates, and MiHockeyNow for post-game coverage. Should be a fun weekend for college hockey.

Highlight reel

Here’s a look at all those goals the Wings scored last night.
