[billhoward]

Is there room for a Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda Award for the player who would have won one of the other awards if he hadn't been injured at leat a third of the season?

Agreed.

[gobigred24]

Peter Natyshak Award, Career Improvement.

MIKE IGGULDEN.  Is there any doubt?

Randy MacFarlane Award, Transcendent Beauty and Skating Prowess. Title says it all. Anne's favorite award.

Jeremy Downs

Dave Shippel Award, Scrappiness and Effort.

Topher Scott

Terry Gage Award, Determination in a Supporting Role.

Mitch Carefoot- edging out Chris Abbot and Dan Pegoraro, if only because he gets even less recognition, but will be next year's Iggy.  

Mike Schafer Award, Leadership and Passion.

Knoepfli.  Came to play every night for four years.  One of my favorite players to watch.

Pierre Belanger Award, Most Loathed Referee.

The entire ECAC officiating team.  Just one?  Murphy, your choice

John Carter Award, Most Respected Opponent.

Silverthorn.  I wouldn't trade McKee for him, but he also gave us fits

Kevan Melrose Award, Least Respected Opponent.

Welch and LaTullip.  I am going to miss them, in a perverse way.  

Doug Dadswell Award, Most Valuable Freshman.

Topher Scott.  Somewhat disappointed Sawada didn't play well enough to win it.  

Joe Nieuwendyk Award, Most Valuable Player.

Matt Moulson.  Couldn't argue with McKee, but the Red are a great defensive team, and Moulson had to shoulder most of the offensive burden this year, and in the process put together one of the best years by  a Cornell forward in a long time.

Some of that actually made it into a CSTV commercial this weekend.

Peter Natyshak Award, Career Improvement. This award is open to seniors or in the very rare case when no senior has demonstrated above average career improvement, juniors. The award measures how well the player has improved since starting at Cornell.

Mike Iggulden - No Question

Randy MacFarlane Award, Transcendent Beauty and Skating Prowess. Title says it all. Anne's favorite award.

Jeremy Downs - Runner up Chris Abbott

John Carter Award, Most Respected Opponent. This award generally goes to an opposing player who has both ferociously skewered Cornell and who we would take in a heartbeat for one of our own. It is based on his performance against us only in games this year.

Jamie Sifers  - VT

Kevan Melrose Award, Least Respected Opponent. This award goes to the guys who, when you scream "Sucks!" you really mean it. The bad and the ugly. The goon, the cheap shot artist, the whiner, the showboat. The asshole.

Noah Welch

Dave Shippel Award, Scrappiness and Effort. This award, which is associated with the longest-running typo in TBRW? history ("scappiness"), generally goes to a player who plays bigger than his size or "better than his talent."

Topher Scott - Runner up Chris Abbott

Terry Gage Award, Determination in a Supporting Role. This award generally goes to an athlete whose contributions do not show up in the box score. It often goes to an unexpected player who comes out of the pack to really contribute a particular skill as a role player.

Mike Iggulden - Runner up Abbott Brothers, Daniel Peggararo

Mike Schafer Award, Leadership and Passion. This award needs no explanation.

Mike Knoepfli

Pierre Belanger Award, Most Loathed Referee. Nor does this one.

John Murphy - Runner up - Both his brothers

Doug Dadswell Award, Most Valuable Freshman. Define it however you want. Open only to freshman, not transfers.

Topher Scott- Sasha Pokoluk - Tie

Joe Nieuwendyk Award, Most Valuable Player. Again, define it however you want, as long as you consider only this year's performance.

Dave McKee - Matt Moulson - Tie

Your right. This is a slam dunk. Davenport had a 0.00 GAA and a 1.000 save percentage. McKee's numbers were good but he just can't compete with those stats. We sure are gonna miss him.

Do I really need a smiley?

I'll say this about Davenport: Nobody has beaten him. :-P

By the way, so far this season for the Des Moines Bucs of the USHL (i.e. since leaving Cornell), he's 5-5-1 with a 3.23 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

BTW, not a TBRW? award, but who do we like for the Crimson Cup?  My money's on McKee, with 2 GA in three games.

Perhaps, but I'm thinking it'll be Charlie Cook, scoring two goals in the game against Harvard that probably counted the most.

[Jordan 04]

Ok...here's goes...first time I've done this without reading everybody else's picks first  :-)

Peter Natyshak Award, Career Improvement.
I'll go Iggy, although I don't think Knoepfli is too far behind.

Randy MacFarlane Award, Transcendent Beauty and Skating Prowess.
Jeremy Downs

Dave Shippel Award, Scrappiness and Effort.
I'll go Knoepfli, because I gave the Natyshak to Iggy

Terry Gage Award, Determination in a Supporting Role.
Dan Pegoraro

Mike Schafer Award, Leadership and Passion. This award needs no explanation.
Mike Iggulden

Pierre Belanger Award, Most Loathed Referee. Nor does this one.
I don't pay attention to this really.  I'll go Dupree because his name fits nicely into the rope/tree cheer.

John Carter Award, Most Respected Opponent.
Steve Silverthorn...I just couldn't bring myself to say "Dov" Edit: I guess if I have to pick just based on this year, I wouldn't go Silverthorn.  But I still can't make myself say Hyphen

Kevan Melrose Award, Least Respected Opponent.
Dan Fridgen. If I have to go player, Noah Welch

Doug Dadswell Award, Most Valuable Freshman.
Topher Scott

Joe Nieuwendyk Award, Most Valuable Player.
David McKee

Here are the automatic awards:

Duane Moeser Award, Leading Point Scorer: Moulson.
Chris Norton Award, Leading Scorer, Defensemen: Cook.
Brian Hayward Award, Leading Goaltender: Duh. Louis Chabot. Hands down.

Could we rename this the Sam Paolini Award (although that could mean a few things) and add it to TBRW?
