That reminds me, what about OGC for Coach of the Year?

Now you’re just being silly.

Colgate game on Time Warner Sports Friday night for those in the CD.

They'll probably give it to Ryan Pecknold, but weren't we picked as 10th or 11th in the preseason polls?

Who's Ryan, does he coach just the piac team?

What about Chris Bradley for best defensive defenseman? As much as his +/- leaves something to be desired, could his blocked shots total help give him that?

Depends, are the voters people who think that blocking a lot of shots means that you're good at defense?

I did catch the Peckmold error quickly.

That's a bit of a stretch Ralph. This is one of his better years but we would have had to move up into a bye position for any consideration at all.

It looks like I was wrong -- but that is nothing new.

That moment you realize that Cam Hackett is probably going to be on the ECAC All-Rookie team with only 5 league appearances...

The only two other options are Harvard's Michael Lackey (.887, 3.27) and Union's Jake Kupsky (.886, 4.56). Hackett .932, 2.50.

All three freshmen netminders with roughly the same amount of playing time in league play.

There's a strong argument to be made for Jake Wood being the ECAC's best defensive forward, too. +4 with 27 blocked shots.

From the "Pick the ECAC Standings" thread....

Now that I have all the information I can get, time to make some picks:

1. ....
2. ....
3. ....
4. ....
5. ....
6. ....
7. ....
8. ....
9. ....
10. ....
11. RPI. Still can't play offense.
12. ....

So despite picking the team to finish 11th in the league, they are still playing well below expectations anyway??

FF, remember, he doesn't like dogs, so that's all you need to know.

How can anyone justify not liking dogs (or cats for that matter)? Children i can see, since as they grow you have to pay for college and weddings.

Only the last 5-10 minutes of some games. If this season rules were changed and games were limited to 40 or 45 minutes we could be one of the top ranked teams in the nation. Exciting team that you cannot help watching. So far one of the fun years for me. Sure we have had years with better overall results, but his team is just great to watch.

Great minds think alike.

this has been one of the better Appert-led clubs, a lot of energy, a lot of playing for each other, and the results have shown on the ice. Are they closing out games? No. Could you realistically expect them to, after the last 2-3 years? No. The collective emotional IQ of the team is growing - the Brown/ Harvard wins are good examples of that. A team does not just form in the spate of 10 games. And it's ok to be critical. The denouncing of the team and program that happens with 1 or 2 posters is what i find inexcusable.
