Does Baby have a lock on this for this week or what?
3 goals and 2 assists against a pair of teams who win 30% of their games?
A good chance? Certainly. A lock? I wouldn't go that far.
I'm sure somebody somewhere had a pair of hat tricks or a 5-3 weekend or something crazy. I doubt Baby will get it, though that would be great.
Lanny Gare of UHN had a four-goal game this weekend.
UHN's Lanny Gare had a 5 goals, 1 assist weekend
Joe Jensen, for St. Cloud State, had a hat trick against Minnesota.
Thomas Pock, for UMass, had a 4 goal weekend in the two wins against Boston College and Providence (including a hat trick against Providence)
Finally, RPI's Nolan Graham had a 1 goal, 4 assist night in the win against UMD.
Those four, along with Baby, are probably the likely candidates. Gare, Pock, and Baby, however, are the only three that also came out of the weekend with 2 wins.
Bet Baby'd kick their collective asses.:-P
After all, none of them is half the man that Baby is. Literally.
yea, let's be serious here...It's all about who can win a fight after tossing the Coopers on the ice. My bet's on Baby.
Put 'em in a body bag Baby!!!!!
word is Baby was on the ice a lot over the holidays. Seems like he has picked up a step or two. He has really been talking about turnin on the heat the second half of the season with the rest of the team. I think this is our year! Personally I would like to see him toss some more bodies around. Nothing scares a team more than seeing one of there guys thrown into the boards like Baby does. We're on the right track here Mo, we're on the right track.
what about marr for ecac goalie of the week?
Probably - he was the only goalie with 2Ws. Maybe Grumet-Morris. He stopped 29 of 30 against Union.
(By the way, why did Harvard play a single game against Union this weekend outside of the usual travel partner set up?)
Because Harvard's schedule gets complicated with the Beanpot tournament. The HU-Union game was moved to this weekend to avoid a later conflict. I recall reading that somewhere (perhaps the ECAC preview this week?)
Beanpot games are played on Monday nights. Harvard playing after a Friday-Saturday ECAC weekend has been cited as putting them at a disadvantage vis-a-vis the Hockey East teams that have only Friday games scheduled before Beanpot Mondays.
Actually, although Cornell-Colgate does a weekend (or Thursday-Saturday in the case of this year) home-and-home, most traveler partners tend not to do that. Yale-Princeton and Vermont-Dartmouth are too far to do it. Hahvahd-Brown didn't this year as you note, and generally don't... Clarkson-SLU despite being 10 minutes apart don't either. Not sure about RPI-Union and I'm too lazy after the 8 hour NCountry -> Ct drive to look it up :-), but at least 2/3rds of the teams don't typically do the home-and-home thing.

As you know, Union and Harvard aren't travel partners; I wasn't saying that they should have played a pair.
As you also know, typically, when Harvard plays Union, Brown plays RPI and they would trade partners for the next game that weekend. This weekend, while Union played Harvard, RPI hosted UMD for a pair and Brown played UML. That is what I meant by "outside of the usual travel partner set up".
Harvard hosts Brown on the Friday prior to Beanpot round one and goes to RPI the Friday before round two. Playing at Union this past weekend means Harvard will not have to play the usual Saturday game--at Union--that weekend.
Arg, sorry BR Apple... I told ya the drive got to me :-).

I don't know about USCHO PotW (that typically doesn't come out until Wednesday or Thursday), but Bâby was named ECAC PotW. Todd Marr was on the Honor Roll as Yann Danis took GotW honors (again).
And that page has a poll asking who will win the Clearly Cup. While we are currently leading, the rest of the results are kinda confusing:
Poll Results:
Harvard - 45
Yale - 18
Brown - 173
Cornell - 217
Dartmouth - 131
Union - 24
Union...?
So Danis makes 45 saves this weekend at HOME and has a 0-0-1 record to show for it, and Marr makes 53 saves for a 2-0-0 record on the road. And Danis is the ECAC Goalie of the Week? Explain that one to me.
Well it *was* apparently 45 saves in 1 game. :-P
Danis is used to making a lot of saves and still not winning the game. Recall the 66 save loss to Harvard last year.
Also, even if he makes 45 saves in a game, I don't think it matters one bit if there's not a W at the end of the night. JMO. Regardless, glad we'll have Lenny back for the stretch.
Who cares; we won, he lost.:-)
I think he tied.

According to the question, the poll options are the current top six teams in the league standings. (Except that Clarkson and Union are tied with seven points and Clarkson has played one less game.)
Exactly - tied. It was against us that he lost :-P
Speaking of that Brown game though, I know someone on their team (a starter, in fact). Said it was a pretty rough afternoon (an understatement), and that he thought we the fans were "pretty amazing." :-). Good to know they notice.
Well, apparently there is no player of the week. Doesn't this usually come out on Monday?

The USCHO weekly awards typically come out on Thursday.
Any reason why?
And the last one came out on Dec 10th, which was a Tuesday.
Lanny Gare wins the USCHO player of the week, after a six point weekend. Baby is the first runner up.
My grandma could have scored 4 goals against Merrimack in that blowout game. Baby lit it up in 2 close games (although against subpar teams) Great players make plays in tight games. Baby deserved it. Oh well, it will be all moot when he wins the Hobey.
Mo
Moot. Not mute.
Or Moo. You know, like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. ::nut::
Then Mooed. Like that town in the North Country, Mooers.
That was a funny episode.
See, that's what you paid for when you got your Cornell degree.
