EAST LANSING – It was one of the most exiting games Michigan State has played all season.

And one of the most frustrating.

And without question, the most bizarre game the Spartans have played this season and probably in several seasons.

In a game that featured three shorthanded goals, two fluke goals on long shots, two major penalties and ejections from checks from behind, three straight goals by each team and a 4-1 lead erased, Minnesota emerged with a 5-4 victory on Thursday night at Munn Arena.
