            Bull****. I'd bet anything Union jobber and ZAR split the vote in the east, while Butcher swept the west. **** this. By what metric, at all, was Will Butcher the best player in the country.

              The real question is why would anyone vote for Vecchione over ZAR?
              GO NU!

                  Yeah, I think you're pretty much on target but I also think it goes a little deeper. Even though how deeply a team goes in the playoffs is not a criteria, I do believe some voters, especially those who might have been on the fence, will gravitate toward a player whose team makes a deep run. So it's likely that Butcher pulled in some votes because of that. And, of course, Northeastern is not exactly a brand name in the hockey world.

                  Not the way it's supposed to be but it's the way it is.

                      Be a better goaltender. It's clear that's what he was penalized for, was the team's poor record.

                      I am less mad that Butcher won, more upset that ZAR lost. Butcher, after speaking to a DU fan, had the best non-ZAR case out of anyone in the Top 10. So, I'm more composed now than I was last night. Congrats to him.

                        I had a chance to meet and speak with Jim Madigan yesterday. He's the kind of guy you'd love to have as a best friend. No wonder the kids love him.

                          Hobey Committee needs to take a look at itself and figure out that if regional politics are the determinant then they need a new system of voting. I will state that referees, for sure, should be taken out of the equation. They are more plentiful than rabbits @ the D1 ranks and there is no way that they can offer a meaningful opinion. That's 9 whole votes.

                          I congratulate Will Butcher and his program but I point out that DU without him is still probably playing tonight. Union without Vecchione still wins 23 games or comes close. Northeastern without ZAR is Madigan circulating his resume'.

                          I saw a graphic or article late last year that logically detailed how ZAR was not only the best current D1 player but had been since late 2015.

                          Anyway, congrats to ZAR as he moves on to the show. Congrats to "The Boys" for staying together in their attempt to overcome poor goaltending, and, often, poor defense and goaltending.

                          GO HUSKIES!

                          PS: Did everyone see how ZAR's papa gave a HUGE shout out to the Dog House? Thought that was pretty classy.

                            If you're a defenseman you can only win the Hobey if you're up against an NU player. Much like Gilroy, Butcher wasn't even the best player on his own team! Borgstrom >>>>

                              This is the first time in quite some time that the college hockey press has either hinted or come right out an said that the vote was in error.

                              I don't believe the goaltending had anything to do with it. I do believe that regional politics had everything to do with it.
