Howard leading the big10 in goals and points, Kurth not far behind at #6 while leading in +/- by a long shot. TB never gets enough credit for the prospects but there are some solid players in the system.

Hope Howard doesn't bolt on the Lightning.

I rant about the mental side of the Bears game (which has been pretty decent the last week), but let me illustrate.


Ignore the headline. Most of the article is about the team mentally. Buffalo doesn't have the best roster in the league, but they also probably shouldn't be doing as poorly as they are (and they aren't bottom of the league terrible).

The coach is very experienced, but there's a feeling that the players are mentally weak. The players made it all the way to the NHL, but just don't have enough to win in Buffalo. Just short. They left home at 16 to play in the CHL, get booed by strangers, but closing out a regular season win against Seattle is just too much. It's just asking too much.

But it's the children who are wrong.

Been watching Crozier’s stats since his return from injury on 12/27–seems like a complete turnaround from his first few months: in 7 games, he’s got 2 goals, 5 assists and a +6 rating.
He also fought and beat our former prospect Foote (Nolan). Would love to see him back with the Bolts, he was a breath of fresh air with his enthusiasm and overall play.

The chants were impossible to ignore. So were the posterboard signs. Most importantly, so was the performance. Michigan State star Isaac Howard could win the Hobey Baker as college hockey’s top player this season, and his game Friday night showed why.

“I’d be hard pressed to find someone more qualified,” Michigan State coach Adam Nightingale said. “I think you look at the season he's had and how our team has played.”

Howard's case is strong, and Friday's win shows why. To Nightingale, it’s the way that Howard plays at both ends that makes him a candidate for the Hobey Baker. He leads the nation in scoring, but he also kills penalties and shows up, especially when his team needs him, as he did against Minnesota.

“Without Ike, I think there's a huge void there, right?” Nightingale said. “So you look at the season we've had, we still got a lot of hockey, but he's a huge piece of it. Definitely should be in the conversation.”
