Arizona State arrived in Kalamazoo ahead of Friday's game looking to take a raucus atmosphere and channel it into desperation to save their season.
Instead, the defending national champions showed exactly why they are one of the top teams in the nation, leaving the Sun Devils floundering with few answers as the games tick off the calendar.
The most concerning part of the game wasn't the 4-goal margin of defeat, it was how completely overwhelmed the team was up and down the ice.
