East Lansing — Hate is back on the menu.
After years of a hockey rivalry gone dormant, Michigan and Michigan State started to get out a decade's worth of animosity in their meeting at Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing on Friday night.
In the precursor to Saturday night's "Duel in the D" at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, the Spartans and Wolverines combined for 67 penalty minutes, 17 penalties and three ejections — in the second period alone.
Michigan freshman Adam Fantilli, a projected top-three pick in this summer's NHL Draft, was ejected along with Michigan State defenseman Nash Nienhus after the two got into it following a whistle in the second period.
