USCHO player of the week?

[Mo Kelly]

Does Baby have a lock on this for this week or what?

[Adam \'01]

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.

[Greg Berge]

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.

[Al DeFlorio]

Lanny Gare of UHN had a four-goal game this weekend.

[Section A]

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

[Adam \'01]

After all, none of them is half the man that Baby is.  Literally.

[Ogletorp]

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!!!!!

[Ogletorp]

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?

[ugarte]

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?)

[Section A]

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?)

[Al DeFlorio]

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".
