    Osburn at times is a shadow of himself. I think he can still be that guy ... but there's some maturing to do, and this team needs to have the depth at D for him to have the freedom to be that guy. His mistakes are costly, because I don't think either of these goalies are playing with any confidence right now..

    He's not the only one, however. There's one senior that's just never lived up to his potential at MSU. When defending a rush, for example, I don't think his positioning is great, he's never gotten involved offensively, and his decision-making in his own zone leaves me at times scratching my head. Perhaps he gets a hall pass because of the history with off-season injuries, but it's time for him to step up if MSU has a chance at all to salvage this season.
    I agree Osburn has made some "freshman" mistakes. But if I recall correctly I don't remember Krug making very many if at all his freshman year. I do agree though that Krug probably had better defenders on the roster with him then what Osburn has this year. So maybe his mistakes where picked up by the other guys better then Osburn's have been.

    As for the senior I assume you are talking about Draeger? Walsh hasn't had too many injuries so it has to be Draeger. I agree that, for a 3rd round draft pick, he never really figured it out here at MSU. But MSU could say that for a lot of players on the roster.... Maybe coaching is the issue....?

      Just so everyone knows, the weekly Picking the Big 10 blog post erroneously states that the MSU at NU game is not televised. In fact, it really is going to be televised. NBCSN at 7 p.m. EST. The basketball game also (12:30 p.m. EST)

        The always accurate Paula Weston strikes again.

          That is entirely possible

          • Tom Izzo is on the bench at Northeastern. Too bad coaching doesn't work by osmosis.

                To quote Homer Simpson:

                "Yeah, Moe, that team sure sucked last night. They just plain sucked. I've seen teams suck before but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks who ever sucked."

                  It was nice to get a goal tonight, but, yeah, I still hate everything.

                    Also, why did it take a century for Anastos to pull Hildebrand during that last power play?

                      Could be because so many people were coming up to him in the seats, maybe it was a way to keep that from happening. It was cool to see the men's and women's hoops team in the crowd watching a game.

                      It was pretty quiet there, not sure if that came across on the broadcast. The MSU fans were super loud when they scored. I can only imagine what it would've been like if it was a more competitive game,

                        I casually watched your game yesterday and saw Izzo in the stands right behind the bench on TV in the 2nd period. Did he actually get on the players bench? Izzo is God of that pathetic sport (bouncy-ball) but he has no reason to be on the bench. I highly doubt that he was actually on the nench. Are you sure that he was on the bench?

                          NU better never put Coen behind the bench.

                            Yes, he was on the bench. He was talking quite a bit with Kelly Miller during the game, and a little bit with Anastos. He wasn't shown interacting with the players, he probably wouldn't know what to say. The Spartan games at Munn usually feature a special guest coach, often a former player. For the GLI maybe we can bring in Pat Narduzzi as a special guest coach since Dantonio will be busy.

                              In the 3rd he was on the bench. I have zero problem with it. The way the team is playing right now basketball coach would probably do a better job.

                                As an NU fan, I thought the sight of Tom Izzo standing behind the Sparty bench was pretty cool and even classy. The NCAA rule permits up to eight "team personnel" to be on the bench so no problem there. (The rule doesn't specify which "team" the "personnel" are associated with.)
