Good, another year where this incompetent organization can't ruin Bowers' development is all right in my books.

That was a fantastic game, all three of them were very good and noticeable for the right reasons (Morrison, Morris, and Smirnov). That was one of the best games I've seen Smirnov play since late-February, just controlling the game and using his IQ to make plays happen. Furthermore, if I recall correctly - Morrison is no Anders Bjork - but he is one of the most clutch players for the Irish the last couple of seasons'. He lead the team in postseason stats coming into the Big 10 championship game and left with another GWG. Seems like he takes a next step when the games are that crucial for the season.Morrison has scored the game winner in both of ND’s conference tourney championship games. Also, Cale Morris w/ 48 saves, including a breakaway chance by Dennis Smirnov.
Has he had a good year of development at BU this past season?
What assurances do we have that next year will be an improvement?
Bowers doesn't have that kind of skill level to absolutely dominate the NCAA level & be the main catalyst to turning a team's fortune's around. He's just a piece of the puzzle & needs to be surrounded with talent to put up big #s at that level.
If Jost could put up a point per game in his 1 season of college I see no reason why Bowers can't in his 3rd. He's supposed to be a high end 1st round prospect. Outside of just pure skill he should be mature and strong enough to be dominant in his 3rd year.
