What happened on Saturday night to Michigan State hockey will stick with the players, coaches and fans for a long time. And the fans were quick to voice their displeasure on social media.
Michigan State hockey had its first Frozen Four in nearly 20 years in grasp, but couldn’t close out the Badgers and were stunned in overtime.
