3 MSU-NMU NOTES The weekend series at Northern Michigan is the start of a month that has the Spartans playing six of eight games away from East Lansing. This weekend s pair of games with the Wildcats in Marquette mark the Spartans first trip to the Berry Events Center, which opened last year. MSU makes its first visit to another new venue later this month as the Spartans travel to Ohio State s Value City Arena Feb Despite playing 13 games against Northern Michigan since the Wildcats rejoined the CCHA in 1997, this weekend s series is just the third and fourth time the Spartans have played in Marquette. MSU comes into the NMU series unbeaten in 11 road games. The Spartans are in an opponent s building so far this season, the best road start in school history and the third longest road unbeaten streak on the Spartan record books. The longest was a 13- game stretch from Dec. 26, 1998-Feb. 26, 1999, during which MSU was Freshman defenseman Joe Markusen (Grafton, N.D.) returns to the MSU lineup against NMU this weekend. He was given a mandatory one-game suspension after drawing a fighting major and a game misconduct in the Spartans 3-0 win vs. Lake Superior State on Jan. 23. SATURDAY S RECAP It had to end sometime. Michigan s Andy Hilbert scored with 1:57 left in overtime to lead the Wolverines to a 4-3 win over MSU in front of 19,618 at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Saturday. The loss brought to an end the 23-game Spartan unbeaten streak and while allowing Michigan to close to within three points of the Spartans for first place in the CCHA standings. Hilbert took a feed from teammate Mark Kosick and broke into the MSU zone on the near side. He was knocked to the ice by the Spartans Brad (Fort St. John, B.C.) as he turned the corner toward the MSU net but managed to bat the puck past Miller to bring the see-saw game to a close. The Spartans opened the scoring with the first period s only goal. Rustyn Dolyny (Fort Frances, Ont.) took a feed from teammate Damon Whitten (Brighton, Mich.) and blasted a shot from the top of the far face-off circle past Michigan netminder Josh Blackburn at 6:16. Michigan jumped ahead with the first two goals of the second period. Josh Langfeld tallied 2:17 into the frame, ending Miller s shutout streak at 229:29 in the process, and John Shouneyia scored a little more than 10 minutes later, swatting a rebound off his own shot past Miller at 12:39. Sophomore Troy Ferguson (Kitchener, Ont.) squared the game at 3-3 at 15:51 of the second period. Dolyny gloved a Wolverine clearing attempt in the Michigan zone and played it ahead to Ferguson, who beat Blackburn for his first goal of the season. MSU took a 3-2 lead into the dressing room with a late second-period goal by defenseman Jon Insana (New Baltimore, Mich.). Insana reeled in a cross-ice feed from Bogle and unleashed a rocket from just inside the blue line. The puck hit Blackburn and wobbled across the goal line with 57 seconds left in the period. The lead was short-lived, however, as Mike Cammalleri evened the score on a goal 1:14 into the third period. Miller, who gave up four goals after allowing a total of four markers in his last eight starts, made 32 saves for Michigan State. Blackburn stopped 23 shots for the Wolverines.

SUPPORT MILLER IN SECOND PHASE OF VOTE FOR HOBEY The second phase of fan balloting for the 2001 Hobey Baker Award is now underway via the Internet at U.S. College Hockey Online. Ryan Miller is one of 40 candidates to advance to the second phase, which runs until March 15. During that time, fans can log onto and click on the Vote For Hobey link. Once registered, visitors can tab their top three selections for college hockey s most prestigious individual award. Fan ballots and the opinions of the nation s 60 college head coaches will determine which 10 players will become finalists for the honor. The list of finalists will be announced on March 15. The Hobey Baker presentation takes place in Albany, N.Y., on Friday, April 6 the day before the NCAA championship game. MIND BOGLE-ING Senior center Andrew Bogle, who tallied an assist in Saturday s loss to Michigan, is in the midst of a three-game scoring streak. The Calgary, Alta., product has a goal and four assists in his last three games and was the team s leading scorer in the month of January with in eight contests. Bogle, who has on the year, needed just 24 games this season to reached single-season highs in goals, assists and points. GOOD ANDY Junior defenseman Andrew Hutchinson continues his torrid offensive output from the blueline for the Spartans. The Rochester Hills, Mich., native, who assisted on MSU s third goal Saturday vs. Michigan and was +3 in the loss to the Wolverines, has scored at least one point in eight of the Spartans last 10 contests and is during that span. Hutchinson leads MSU rearguards in scoring with on the season. He was third among Spartan skaters in points in January with SPARTANS TOP NATIONAL POLL For the third straight week, the Michigan State hockey team captured every vote in both of the country s college hockey polls. The Spartans maintained their places atop the U.S. College Hockey Online and USA Today/American Hockey Magazine polls after sweeping 6

7 Miami at Munn Ice Arena last weekend. MSU received 600 points and 40 first-place tallies in the USCHO poll. Boston College, North Dakota and St. Cloud State remained in the two, three and four spots with Colorado College moving back into the top five after a one-week hiatus. The Spartans captured all 18 first-place votes and 270 total points in the USA Today rankings. Boston College held on to its number-two ranking with St. Cloud State moving into the top three for the first time this season. North Dakota and Colorado College rounded out the top five. Other Central Collegiate Hockey Association teams in this week s rankings besides Michigan State are Michigan (6th USA Today, 7th USCHO), Western Michigan (8th USA Today, 9th USCHO), Nebraska-Omaha (14th USA Today, receiving votes USCHO), Ohio State (receiving votes in both polls) and Northern Michigan (receiving votes USA Today). CURRENT, FUTURE SPARTANS RANKED IN NHL DRAFT REPORT One current MSU player and three future Spartans are listed as potential National Hockey League draft picks according to mid-season rankings released by the league s Central Scouting Service. The CSS report consists of four separate lists the top 240 North American skaters, the 30 best North American goaltending prospects, the top 100 European skaters and the seven best netminders in Europe. Forward Jim Slater, who plays with Cleveland of the North American Hockey League and will be an MSU freshman next season, is projected as a third-round draft pick (76th overall). Current freshman Jeremy Jackson is tabbed as a fourth-round pick (91st overall). Two members of next year s crop of newcomers are projected as fifth-round selections. They are defenseman Duncan Keith (134th overall), who is a member of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League s Chilliwack Chiefs, and forward Brock Radunske, who now plays with Newmarket of Ontario s Provincial Junior Hockey League. Forward Lee Falardeau, another MSU recruit who now plays with the U.S. National Development Team, is projected as a sixth-round pick (151st overall). Ohio State s R.J. Umberger, who is ranked fourth overall, is the highest-rated college player on the CSS list. The CSS will release a final ranking combining draft-eligible North American and European skaters in April. I VE GOT THE POWER Three individuals with MSU ties are among those highlighted in the annual rankings of the 100 most powerful individuals in hockey according to The Hockey News. They are: Bob Goodenow (No. 2), president of the NHL Players Association, father of Spartan junior center Joe Goodenow. Harley Hotchkiss (No. 22), a 1950 MSU graduate and captain of the Spartan hockey team as a senior, who currently owns the NHL s Calgary Flames and heads the league s Board of Governors. Tom Anastos, a four-year letterwinner under Ron Mason in the early 80s and current commissioner of the CCHA who graduated from MSU in 1985, is mentioned as one of four rising influences in the game.

Although the PWR does not precisely duplicate the method used by the selection committee, the PWR has exactly predicted the NCAA Tournament field in each of the last three years. HOW IT WORKS The PWR compares teams at or above.500, judging them by five criteria: record against common opponents, record in last 16 games, head-to-head competition, record against other teams at or above.500, and the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI). The RPI takes results from games between two teams that each play 20 or more games against Division I opponents and from them, produces a statistical rating. Factors involved are the team s winning percentage, the average winning percentage of the team s opponents, and the average winning percentage of the team s opponents opponents. These factors are multiplied by 35%, 50%, and 15% respectively. Remember the RPI is just one part of the PWR. For each head-to-head comparison won, a team receives one point. The final PWR ranking is based upon the number of points won against teams at or above.500. Ties are settled by the RPI. WHAT IT MEANS Remember, the PWR is not used by the NCAA selection committee to determine the tournament field. However, the raw data that is combined to form the PWR is utilized by the selection group to determine who makes the tournament and who doesn t. Basically, the PWR is an overview of what the selection committee looks at when deciding which teams get at-large bids and which don t. WHO GETS IN The playoff champion in five leagues the CCHA, ECAC, HOCKEY EAST, MAAC and WCHA all receive automatic berths in the NCAA Tournament. That leaves seven at-large bids for the selection committee to hand out in mid-march. WHO S LEFT OUT For the most part, the top 12 teams in the PWR over the last three years have been part of the NCAA Tournament field. However, the selection committee has the wherewithal to override statistical comparisons in cases where the numbers don t tell the whole story. For example, MAAC member Quinnipiac was not invited to the NCAA Tournament last year despite a top-10 PWR rating because its winning percentage and strength of schedule numbers were skewed high. IS IT BETTER THAN THE BCS? Yes. It s based solely on facts head-to-head record, strength of schedule, record over the last 16 games, and so on. There are no elements of the weekly polls involved. And no one benefits by running up the score, so MSU s 3-2 win over Notre Dame in October means no more or no less than the Wolverines 9-0 win over the Fighting Irish earlier this week. THE PWR IS KEEPING ME UP AT NIGHT AND GIVING ME A HEADACHE. DO I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT? If you re a fan of a team in the top eight of the PWR, then probably not. If you follow a MAAC or CHA school or a team in spots nine through 15, then you might want to keep an eye on it. But remember, there is still about a month left in the regular season anything can happen. Your team could also win its conference s playoff championship, rendering this entire discussion moot.
