Hobey Hat Trick

[Trotsky]

[quote Drew]Why not?

It is debatable whether he deserved it,I think he was a better two way player than Morrison and his numbers are right there with everyone ---here are the runners up that year with goals and assists Chris Drury 25/29, Mike Crowley defense, Jason Blake 28/41, Mike Harder 22/33, Randy Robitaille 33/34 , Martin St. Louis 36/24, Brian Swanson 25/41, Todd White 38/36,  John Madden 26/37 — Brendan Morrison 31/57 the winner.
 
It would have been nice for the ECACHL. Then again if "ifs" were fifths we'd all be drunk at Christmas.[/quote]

If "if"s were "fifth"s you'd get an infinite recursion, f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(f(...)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths)ths.

And Todd didn't win it either.:-/[/quote]And he didn't deserve to, either.[/quote]As for saying that White was a cherry picker, ugarte, your either trolling for reaction on your own board or you're crazy.

White was a superb two way player and anything but a cherry picker.[/quote]And there it is. Of course, it wasn't me that called him a cherry picker. All I did was predict this post from Rich S.

Next prediction: The sun will rise tomorrow. Trust me. I'm good at this.[/quote]

well whoopdie-damn-do...lol.  I guess all you guys start to sound alike and there's so many of you, I got ya confused.  I'm so sorry.

Is that a big deal that you predicted my response?  And why not?  Calling White a "cherry picker" is easily one of the most inane comments I've ever read on this board.  Too ridiculous to not call him on.

If you'd seen Todd play even once in college, you'd know better.  But then I guess any opponent, even a two time AA, is fair game for you.

Glad to hear you can predict so expertly.  You have a career in Vegas.  

:-D

Oh sure...we all sound alike, next we all look alike...come on, Rich...




:-P

[Rich S]

depends on how you define "cherry-picker."  The most common conotation is that the a guy is a "goal-hanger."  Certainly not true of White.

He was a complete player who played hard in all three zones and has continued to do so as a pro.  He's a classic case of a small guy (no taller than 5 ft 8") who plays "big."

Now if you want to say a "cherry-picker" is a guy who scores "goal-scorer's goals", fine.  Then that's a guy who has a nose for the puck and has good hands around the net.  That was Todd too.

Sure, they all come from one person but they are so shockingly similar it is hard to believe that it is a person and not a macro.

[q]Is that a big deal that you predicted my response?  And why not?  Calling White a "cherry picker" is easily one of the most inane comments I've ever read on this board.  Too ridiculous to not call him on.[/q]Except that (1) it was obviously a joke designed to get your goat and (2) I knew you wouldn't get that, So that's what I was predicting. As I said, sure as the sunrise.

[q]If you'd seen Todd play even once in college, you'd know better.  But then I guess any opponent, even a two time AA, is fair game for you.[/q]Saw him play plenty. He was awesome. The only time I don't root for his success in the NHL is when he is playing the Red Wings or I think of you. Glad to see that he is doing well in Minnesota.

[Rich S]

Shockingly similar to you?  That just shows how close-minded you're being.

Yeah I got the poor attempt at a joke.  The idea that you'd "design it" to "get my goat" is just pathetic.  It was so poor that I called it "inane."  Or didn't you get that?

You don't root for White when you think of me?  lol....

I'll pass that on to Todd; I'm sure he'll get a laugh at your expense.:-}

[quote Dafatone]If Elliott wins, it is also because the WCHA is so much more offensively orientated than the ECAC.  Without getting into any debate about the quality of the two conferences, there's no question that WCHA is more offensive.  [/quote]

I agree that the WCHA is more offensive....at least their fans are

Let's take a look at our most recent games against the WCHA and the number of goals scored against us (disclaimer: I am doing this from memory)

Minny 2 in OT
UMD 1 in OT
CC 2
Whizconsin 1 in 3 OT

That probably works out roughly to a whopping 1.5 GAA. Not really that overwhelming. So is the WCHA really that much more offensive against a real defense?

Good point. Also, Mankato 2 (I think).

In fairness to the western teams, we did play exceptionally well defensively in those games. Better than our average defensive performance in conference play, especially this year.

Just imagine how good McKee's stats would be if he played in the WZHA! :-}

The Minnesota-St. Cloud semifinal almost looked like a women's game there was so little body contact.
