Awards

And parenthetically, na, na, na na, nah at the two student announcers from Clarkson who repeatedly noted how uninspired and awkward Stewart appeared on Saturday.

To be fair, they were only doing that for the first 10 minutes, and later in the game they were quite complimentary.

That could be right.  I stopped paying attention to them part way through the first.  Even so,  I like the idea of giving students a platform for developing their skills in this way.

At least Cornell got one of the big awards this year. Bardreau gets Best Defensive Forward and 3rd Team ECAC. Ryan 1st Team. 'Das it.

"Well, I say let Harvard have its football and academics. Yale will always be first in gentlemanly club life."

[Trotsky]

Is the SPORTSMANSHIP TROPHY just fewest PIM in league games?

I can't really argue with any of that, although I'll bet the final RS weekend knocked Gillam out of at least 3rd team GOTY.  Ryan breaks a 4-year period with no Cornellians on the first team; we continue our struggles at forward: 2 First Teamers in 28 seasons (2% of the 84 slots), as compared with 9 defensemen (16%) and 4 goalies (14%).  An average team would have 1/12 = 8%.

Not one Cornellian among the all-rookie team.

When you score few points as Cornell does, Cornell ought to win the defensive forward of the year.

If Cornell won the sportsmanship award, it would be posted on the Schafer Must Go thread.
