to anybody who has seen the two teams play this year:
 
michigan has lost three games this year, two of them to michigan state.
they haven't just lost, either.  they've lost pretty big (6-3, 5-1).  have
they played well during these losses, or has msu simply dominated michigan?
 
since the first defeat at yost, it seems that michigan's goal-scoring
production is down, and their games are much closer score-wise.  what's
michigan state doing that nobody else has done all year?  is everybody
else catching on, and playing michigan the same way that msu has?
 
or is michigan just getting complacent because they've already won the
ccha by >10 points?  i'm just concerned that they're getting worn out too
early.  and michigan state is certainly a team michigan might see in the
playoffs, both ccha and ncaa.
 
thanks for the insight,
