Paolini Named ECAC Player of the Week

(As far as I'm concerned, LeNeveu should've been a given to win his second consecutive Goalie of the Week award. Walsh is a good goalie, but if you lose to Northeastern at home, you don't deserve jack squat IMO.)

Unfortunately, the ECAC office takes a "spread the wealth" approach with these awards so at times it really is "Player/Goalie of the Week Amongst Those Who Haven't Yet Had the Honor" --but that name is much too unwieldy to use all the time.

If you go to Harvard(sUcKs). . .apparently "spread the wealth" means something different.

Player of Week: Tim Pettit, Harvard
Goaltender of Week: Dov Grumet-Morris, Harvard
Rookie of Week: Christian Jensen, Yale

or RIP. . .

October 14
Scott Basiuk, Rensselaer
Kevin Kurk, Rensselaer
John Zeiler, St. Lawrence

So far 25% of the time they have not "spread the wealth". . .

I know that's often the way it works, but considering Kevin Kurk and Yann Danis have both already won the GotW award twice... Oh well. I'm sure our guys would rather have the wins than the individual awards anyway.

According to the ECAC weekly press release, (available for download in .pdf format here: [hockey.ecac.org] ) they gave it to Walsh for his shutout vs. PC and the fact that the 2 goals he allowed were on 5x3 situations. It also mentions that Walsh hasn't allowed an even-strength goal in his last 5 games. LeNeveu made the "Honor Roll".

Also of note in this week's release is that Jean-Marc Pelletier got called up by the Whore-icanes.

But then, LeNeveu hasn't allowed one in 6 of his last 7.
