PK 2018 - Who do you have?

Re: PK 2018 - Who do you have?

I think Campbell has to be in the discussion, she has ARD type numbers. She has a more composed style than ARD (not good or bad, just an observation) and will probably be around 12 shut outs. Roque makes a move or 2 a game that you just shake your head in wow belief.

Sauve looked bad in Madison, but maybe she was injured? UW snipped her, but one game does not make a season. The rematch in Ohio will be fascinating. That could be an PK elimination series for either goalie.

Re: PK 2018 - Who do you have?

If I was voting, based on what I've observed: 1) Bach, 2) Lonergan, 3) Watts. Next forward in the running would figure to be Gabel. Highest goalie in the voting should be Tiley. Sauvé is the most likely in the top 10 from the WCHA. It would be nice to see Vanišová in the top 10, but how many HEA players get a nod?

The Buckeyes looked bad period.. Sauve was excellent the following day if I recall stopping close to 50 shots. Campbell is a good goaltender but needs to be tested to be in the conversation. If Sauve stays healthy for the remainder of the season, she will be in the top 10 but not likely a winner. If Watts keeps playing like she is, it’s a no brainer.

Does anyone know the timeline on this? Kaz 10 should be announced sometime this week, right?

I can't imagine Watts isn't the front-runner still.

With my East Coast Bias I think it is Watts, Gabel and Bach as the final 3 but even wearing my Green and Gold Glasses I do not see anyone but Watts winning it.

If Watts wins she would be a first then. No freshman in 20 years has ever won the award. Since 1998 12 seniors, 7 juniors and only 1 sophomore (Jennifer Botterill) have won. But, very few if any freshman have put up the kind of numbers that Watts has this year, so maybe she will win. Of course, as we all know it isn't just numbers that is supposed to decide who gets the award.

As in 2005, how about Bach (forward), Tiley (goalie) and Miano (defenseman) as a final 3. Watts? She'll have 3 more years to win it or maybe even win it twice as Botterill did.

Don't see any Gophers in the top 10 this year, but watch out for next year...

If Watts is the most deserving player, she should win the award. Hard stop.

Player of the Year, yes. Patty Kazmaier, partly, maybe even mostly, but not all just on numbers. I know nothing about her other qualifications though, so if she's "deserving" in other areas, then she should not be ruled out just because she's a freshman. History points in a different direction though.

Botterill won as a junior in 2001. She was centralized for the 2002 Olympics. She won as a senior in 2003. So no, a sophomore hasn't won.

Wow, I did not know that, thanks for this

Re: PK 2018 - Who do you have?

Does anyone know why Julie Chu is not credited with the NCAA rookie scoring record? I've always thought that she had 93 points, and as far as I can tell, those all came versus NCAA programs. Is there some opponent for Harvard in 2002-03 that would cause those points to not be legit?
