    So Johnny Hockey it is.
    All three have strikes against them. LeBlanc isn't a goal scorer. Gaudreau is a sophomore. Hartzell is a goalie. Add in the first dual WCHA POTY and SAOTY, SCSU's first MacNaughton and SCSU's first Frozen Four and I think Drew is the Vegas favorite
    tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

      There was so much action at the Caesars sportsbook on that, they had to take it off the board.

        I'm going to change this so we appropriately show the TWO strikes that Hartzell has, even in light of what the ECAC has done recently.

        I'm not sure why we consider not scoring a lot of goals a strike against any forward to be honest. I think that's ridiculous. The problem is that assists can easily add up with a lot of secondary assists added on by eager scorekeepers (even after the fact). At the end of the day, if you can watch a guy and say Jesus, that guy is a great player and his team scores a lot because of him, I'm completely ok with that.

        I consider this to be a close call between Gaudreau and Leblanc. Gaudreau brings a ton of positive baggage into this thing with his season from last year, his great WJC and gold medal there, and another great season as a sophomore. He definitely passes the eyeball test and has numbers to back it up. Haven't seen enough of Leblanc to even say much but he has nice numbers and his team is in the FF.

        Odds for Hartzell to win it are about 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000.

        The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

          Well in addition to his awards, LeBlanc spent a lot of time playing with Kossila and Brodzinski and they're the highest goal scoring freshman duo in the NCAAs. On top of that he's a great "story"... senior breaks his leg, turns down pro contracts, comes back for fifth year.

            LeBlanc is probably going to win it because we lived on the same floor in the dorms 5 years ago. Did I mention I went to high school with Joey Benik?

                    Are you still a freshman?

                    The Herb Brooks National Hockey Center..... I wonder who originally came up with that.

                        Gotta believe it goes to Hartzell....heres a chance to acknowledge what a great year a goalie had and what a great season the ECAC had. Gaudreau seemed like a front runner at the beginning of the season, but he and his team kind of limped through after Xmas and then flopped. Hobey type players and leaders dont allow this to happen.
                        sure why not

                              I think it will be Johnny Hockey. Though his team choking in the easiest regional might have cost him. LeBlac deserves the most despite the goals/assist ratio for his high amount of points. Hartzell had a great season, but it hurts that every year ECAC has a goalie with great numbers.

                                I hope so. For me, as a college hockey fan in general, Gaudreau is the player who is the most fun to watch. He is small and shifty, has mad stick skillz, speed, and can take a hit. He thrills whenever he is near the opposing goal. This is the kind of guy that makes college hockey shine. Hope he gets it.

                                Hartzell is good (as are some other goalies, including my home team's, Anthony Borelli), but I have a bias that the HB should go to a skater who lights up the ice beyond mere stats.

                                Johnny Hockey, MTFBWY!
