Patty Kaz talk--again!

Ok, so now that it is very close to the time that the finalists will be announced, what are people's guesses? Here are my top 10:

1. Ruggerio
2. Ouellette
3. Potter
4. Rachel Barrie
5. Gillian Apps
6. Chanda Gunn
7. Wendell
8. Jody Horak
9. Gretchen Anderson
10.Kelly Halsiak

I would have had Darwitz in here but given she's out the rest of the season, I thought better of it....

Here's the previous thread on that subject...

Note that asking for predictions and for people's top ten are two entirely different questions. It's tough to predict because you don't know who will get nominated by the teams. Stuff like whether Darwitz will make the cut is tough to predict because we don't know when Laura submitted her nominations (I'd guess it was before Darwitz was hurt) and when people voted.

I think everyone in your list has a chance to be there, except Jody Horak. I don't think she'll get her team's nomination, and even if she did, I don't think she deserves to get in there over Shari Vogt, who's a senior captain and almost singlehandedly made her team a top 10 team earlier than anyone in Mankato ever expected. Among goaltenders, I think Gunn and Vogt will be there and should be there. Barrie, I don't she deserves to be there. She might have had one good game against UMD, but so did a lot of other goalies. Only Gunn made the cut last year.
