Shaved Ice – April 5

Good morning, everyone. Hope you’re reading this before you start watching baseball then hockey all day.

Quick hits

Johan Franzen came through when it mattered most for the Red Wings last night, recording a pair of third-period goals to force overtime with the Blues. There, Todd Bertuzzi does what he’s becoming known for – score in shootout situations. The big plays late gave the Wings a 3-2 win, moving them back into the fourth spot in the West, which would mean home ice in the first round if they can hold onto it.

Today is the day – Ferris State plays in the Frozen Four. Here’s some info from the Bulldogs’ site to get you ready for the game. We’ll have postgame coverage, by the way.
