Bump. Starting now.

What planet is Tim McDonald on?

[q]For Goaltender of the Year, I'd choose Colgate's Mark Dekanich. He's second in goals against average and first in save percentage and he's put up those numbers with a less talented defense than the one that plays in front of David McKee. Player of the Year is probably the toughest of all; there are a lot of good candidates--Moulson, Trevelyan, Cashman, Ouellette, Wilson (plus Dekanich and McKee). But I'll go with Tyler Burton because he's put up great numbers, including four game-winning goals.[/q]

Pfft.  I hate questions like this anyway.  As if I'm interested in what Tim thinks.

They didn't even show my question this week.  I note that I had the toughest question for Chris Abbott last week.  At least he had the cojones to address it.

Of course, this comes right after he questioned Cornell's post-season chances because of their uncharacteristically weaker defense.

I didn't like his answer to my question either, not that he was wrong, I just didn't like the answer. ;-)
Cheers,

I think Moulson should be a unanimous pick for player of the year.

[Trotsky]

Here are the league-only stats: http://www.ecachockeyleague.com/leaguestats/men

I wouldn't object to Trevelyan, McKee, Moulson, or Cashman as POTY.  Burton should definitely be considered, by as a sophomore, he'll get plenty of other chances.

My bet is Trevelyan, and to be honest, so far this season he's the only guy I've seen who completely owns the ice when he's on.

[daredevilcu]

I'm not saying he should get POTY, but I would've at least liked to have seen Nick Dodge mentioned on that list.  Through Clarkson's slump, he's been a member of the only line accomplishing anything consistently, is tied for second in the league in overall points, tied for the national lead for SHG... that's at least worthy of mention.  If Clarkson had won half of the games they lost in the last few weeks, I feel he probably would've been on that list as well.  TMM has consistently disappointed me, though, so why change?

if your "TMM" stands for what i presume, i'm not sure how any college hockey coverage qualifies....

[daredevilcu]

TMM = Timothy Muir McDonald, the ECACHL columnist for USCHO -- the guy who was interviewed by CSTV, hence the existence of this thread at all.  What did you think it stood for?

yeah- i was thrown off by the middle initial inclusion.  i retract everything.

Moulson really should not get consideration for Player of the Year.
