Sort of looked like your average NHL All-Star Game, at least through the first period, but then the hitting began to pick up a bit (no fights, sorry). Three players that impressed me in the game (strangely, all played for the Green team, which won 7-4): Chad Alban, the freshman goaltender, who appears to be the #2 goalie (he played the 1st and 3rd periods) with a few nice saves on Carter and Guolla (come to think of it, the only goalie that didn't look sharp was Buzak); Steve Ferranti, the sophomore forward, who had a couple of goals and looked to be in the form he was at the end of last year (reminded me a bit of the other #15 who used to wear Green and White); and Dean Sylvester, the senior forward who transferred from Kent, who scored a nice breakaway goal on Buzak in the 1st and appears to be deceptively quick for his size (6-2, 200). It's tough to tell what MSU's starting lines will be. There was a mention in yesterday's Lansing State Journal that Sylvester will play RW on a line with Suk and Murray, while the RW for Carter and Guolla is still a question mark (last night it was Brian Clifford). Ferranti seems to be a lock as the third line center, but I would prefer to see the Murray-Ferranti-Clifford line to- gether again, with Sylvester winging for Carter and Guolla. But, then again, I don't coach the team. G. M. Finniss Michigan State University WVU '87, UTenn '92, MSU who the hell knows when? ONE SHORT WEEK UNTIL OPENING FACEOFF..........
