Neil’s Notebook: Spartans Looking to Bounce Back on Friday

EAST LANSING – For sure, Michigan State players and coaches were disappointed in the outcome.

But they were more disappointed – and frustrated and a bit embarrassed – by their performance in their 2015-16 home opener on Thursday at Munn Arena.

If this was a Broadway play, the New York Times’ reviews would have been unpleasant to read for MSU, with a lot of negative assessments from start to finish.

And from start to finish on the ice Thursday, the combination of low energy and poor fundamentals by the Spartans and a solid game by Lake Superior State led to a 4-2 non-conference defeat.
