      Hat Trick: Hartzell, LeBlanc, Gaudreau
      Winner: Winner from Quinnipiac/SCSU. I know the game doesn't matter but I can't pick one.

        You're assuming the committee throws out the whole character piece?

          I find this argument against Kristo interesting. He supposedly had character issues before the underage drinking incident at the beginning of this season, which obviously can be pointed to as a character issue. Exactly what were the character issues before this though? Walking around without shoes or socks or whatever really happened, isn't a character issue. It's a being an idiot issue.

          The other interesting thing is that the same drinking incident isn't held against Corban Knight. This all seems to be a perception issue to me. Knight is a clean cut great guy while Kristo is a schmuck who's always in trouble, even if this isn't true.

          I don't expect Danny to win or even be in the final three. The fact that UND chose to promote Knight over him shows that they didn't really expect him to either.

            LeBlanc, Gaudreau, Hartzell. I think Knight is deserving but he and Kristo split votes. At the same time, voters often bone goalies so I think Knight could steal Hartzell's spot
            tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

              I agree, in that if Knight was also involved in providing alcohol to minors and encouraging them to drink to the point of alcohol poisoning, he also should be eliminated from consideration. I think that issue alone is quite enough to disqualify both, regardless of "being an idiot."

                The charges against Knight were dropped.

                  Then he clearly did nothing wrong.

                        Lest we not forget Kristo's epic, blubbering tantrum after getting booted on a 100% legit call. Shall we just ignore that part of his "character"?

                          Yes. Just because he plays for UND everything is a character issue to you I am sure. The alcohol incident definitely was, other than that I don't think there were really any character issues for him.

                          But he isn't in the top three and it doesn't matter.

                            I made no mention of the team he plays for. The fact that it's UND is irrelevant. He got shiitefaced drunk and stumbled around campus, in the snow, in his socks; not to mention the whole other party incident. He threw one of the most immature, tear-filled tantrums I've ever seen a player throw after getting a penalty called against him. I guess I tend to think those are all somewhat of an indication of his character. I'd say the same thing if he played for any team, including the one I cheer for.
