For the unique perspective of the teams that call each of those rinks home, the geographic proximity creates an incalculable virtual distance.<\/p>\n<p>When the Spartans and Wolverines take the ice in their home-and-home series this weekend, the teams will be meeting for the 320th and 321st times.<\/p>\n<p>Or maybe it\u2019s the 315th and 316th times. There\u2019s no way to be sure.<\/p>\n<p>The historical friction between Michigan State and Michigan is so acute that the two programs can\u2019t agree on the number of times they\u2019ve played each other. According to Michigan State records, the teams first met Jan. 11, 1922. The Wolverines say otherwise, pinning their first match to Jan. 24, 1925.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Spartans, Michigan leads this series 163-134-22, but the Wolverines say their record against Michigan State is 159-133-22.<\/p>\n<p>If you really want to understand the how these two programs feel about each other, said Michigan coach Mel Pearson, look no further than the game the teams played Feb. 16, 1991, at Joe Louis Arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a bench-clearing brawl,\u201d said Pearson. \u201cIt\u2019s not pretty, but I think it speaks to the intensity of the rivalry. Remember, Red and Ron got suspended for that game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Michigan State hockey brawl vs Michigan  16 February 1991\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qKri58R745c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Red and Ron, of course, are legends of college hockey, former Michigan coach Red Berenson (1984-2017) and former Michigan State coach Ron Mason (1979-2002), men whom both Pearson and his Michigan State counterpart, Danton Cole, referenced when discussing this series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s that competition between the schools,\u201d said Cole. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s natural, but Coach Mason and Coach Berenson had two real good programs for a long time here and I think that escalated the rivalry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Escalated and sustained, including that bench-clearing brawl that earned each coach a suspension from the CCHA, the league to which each team belonged in 1991. Then there was the Cold War game inside Spartan Stadium in 2001 and the Big Chill at the Big House in Ann Arbor in 2010, both of which set world records at the time for attendance at hockey games.<\/p>\n<p>And there were consecutive years when the teams swapped CCHA playoff championships in games against each other, with Michigan State winning in 2001 and the Wolverines returning the favor the following season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was here when Michigan State and Michigan were both tournament teams, really good teams, when Ron was coaching and Red and I thought it was great,\u201d said Pearson, who spent 22 years alongside Berenson on the Michigan bench, first as an assistant and then as associate head coach. \u201cI thought the rivalry was healthy. If you want a good, healthy rivalry, we need to both be good teams, so that\u2019s a good thing. It\u2019s a great rivalry, regardless, but I think when we\u2019re both better teams, then there\u2019s more at stake, more on the line, and that just adds to the intensity of the rivalry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his first year as Michigan\u2019s head coach last season, Pearson coached the Wolverines to a 22-15-3 record and their first Frozen Four appearance since 2011. It was the reboot that Michigan fans had been craving. Everyone in Ann Arbor hoped that the Wolverines would keep rolling this season, but this year\u2019s Michigan team is young and learning. The Wolverines head into the weekend with a record of 6-5-2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInconsistent is the best word,\u201d said Pearson. \u201cWe\u2019re young and inconsistent. We\u2019ve got one senior up front. We\u2019re the fourth-youngest team in college hockey. We just seem to never grow old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pearson then laughed \u2013 \u201cI wish that happened to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just waiting for the day when we have six seniors up front and three on the blue line and one in net or something,\u201d added Pearson.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from the wins and losses, on paper the Wolverines\u2019 stats look much the same as they did last season, with a slight increase in goals allowed. Pearson said they\u2019re still figuring a few things out. Last weekend, Michigan tied Wisconsin at home twice. The week before that, they split a two-game road series with Penn State and before that, split two games at home with Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Penn State, we had two real good games there,\u201d said Pearson. \u201cWe beat Notre Dame in a real good game there, played a great first period against them the second night and then everything went south.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through 13 games, the Wolverines are doing everything by committee. Sophomore forward Josh Norris leads the team with eight goals and 16 different players have scored at least a goal. In net, junior Hayden Lavigne and freshman Strauss Mann have logged similar minutes, but they\u2019re not being rotated consistently. Neither has established himself as the starter yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019ve shown flashes of being a real good team,\u201d said Pearson. \u201cI think we\u2019ve shown flashes of being a real average team and the inconsistency you get with five, six freshmen in the lineup and a ton of sophomores.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Down the road, the Spartans are likewise looking for consistency, having won their first Big Ten game of the season in last weekend\u2019s road split with Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to be ready, we\u2019ve got to be focused and committed,\u201d said Cole. \u201cLast Friday night, we were pretty average and we paid the price, and Saturday, we were very focused and we reaped the rewards. Again, that\u2019s how this league is going to be. If we play hard and play the way we\u2019re supposed to, then we\u2019ve got a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cole, in his second season as head coach at Michigan State, inherited a slightly different situation than the one Pearson found in Ann Arbor. The Spartans were 7-24-4 with three Big Ten wins in 2016-17, the year before Cole was hired. Last season, Michigan State went 12-22-2 overall with six wins in conference play, and the Spartans are 5-7-0 entering the weekend against the Wolverines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re obviously in a building situation and we\u2019ve got to amp up for every game, every weekend, but I think with the Michigan series, there\u2019s a little bit more to it,\u201d said Cole. \u201cEvery team has their own challenges, but I think the guys are tired of hearing me say, \u2018Hey, this is a pretty good hockey team we\u2019re playing,\u2019 and Michigan is. We\u2019ve seen that they can win some two-one games and when it gets into a higher-scoring game, they can as well. There\u2019s dangerous guys up and down their lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though the Spartans are only scoring 2.83 goals per game, Michigan State has a line that any team in Division I hockey would covet.<\/p>\n<p>Juniors Taro Hirose and Patrick Khodorenko and sophomore Mitchell Lewandowski have accounted for 49 percent of Michigan State\u2019s points this season, with the trio combining for 19 of the Spartans\u2019 34 total goals. Khodorenko leads all Spartans with nine goals, five of them on the power play.<\/p>\n<p>The Wolverines were 3-1-1 against the Spartans last season. The teams exchanged shutout wins in early December, each winning at home, followed by 6-4 Michigan win at the Great Lakes Invitational, a 1-1 tie at Munn Feb. 9, and a 3-2 Michigan win the following night in front of over 19,000 fans at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanton\u2019s done a good job there,\u201d said Pearson. \u201cI think they had some good players there already, and he\u2019s just come in and put his own stamp on the program and they\u2019re going to continue to get better. It takes time, and it might even take more time now just because the way the recruiting is to get your program up and running. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any quick overnight fix and I think they\u2019re going about it the way they need to and want to. They can beat anybody on any given night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cole has a player\u2019s perspective on this rivalry. He was raised in Lansing, Mich., and played for Michigan State from 1985 to 1989.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been pretty lucky that I\u2019ve gotten to do a lot of things that I dreamed about doing,\u201d said Cole. \u201cOne of those things was to play in those games, to battle with them, and to represent Michigan State. For me, it was pretty high on the list that I was fortunate to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou hope that through the series, the players get that feeling. That\u2019s really what college sports is about, about games like this and it\u2019s about the guys in the room and banding together and trying to accomplish something great as a group. This is a big part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wolverines and Spartans renew their rivalry Friday at Munn Ice Arena at 7:05 p.m. Saturday\u2019s rematch at Yost Ice Arena begins at 7:35 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the crow flies, 50 miles separate Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, Mich., and Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor (photo: Michael Simari).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":110870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[935],"tags":[812],"coauthors":[802],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>USCHO.com GAME OF THE WEEK: Michigan, Michigan State renew age-old, intense rivalry this weekend - College Hockey | USCHO.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As the crow flies, 50 miles separate Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, Mich., and Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor (photo: Michael Simari).\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uscho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89502\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"USCHO.com GAME OF THE WEEK: Michigan, Michigan State renew age-old, intense rivalry this weekend - College Hockey | USCHO.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As the crow flies, 50 miles separate Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing, Mich., and Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor (photo: Michael Simari).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.uscho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89502\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"College Hockey | USCHO.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OfficialUSCHO\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-30T13:00:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-08-24T18:53:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wp-admin.uscho.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BigChill-14-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"639\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"426\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Paula C.
