[DeltaOne81]

Natyshak-Paolini (career improvement) - McCutcheon
MacFarlane (transcendent beauty and skating prowess) - Pokuluk (when he's been on)
Shippel-Hornby (scrappiness and effort) - Topher (2nd team: Barlow (in this playoff run at least) )
Gage (supporting role) - Chabot
Schafer-Bâby (leadership and passion) - Chris Abbott
Belanger-Murphy (loathed ref) -- no opinion, too many bad, none spectacularly so
Carter-Moore (most respected opponent) - Elliot (2nd team: Leggio, 3rd team: Dekanich)
Melrose-Nickerson (least respected opponent) - George Roll (I didn't really see the MSU stuff)
Dadswell-Vesce (best freshman) - Mugford (2nd team: Seminoff, just stop the penalties!)
Nieuwendyk-Murray (MVP) - Moulson


I also like Ithacat's idea of the Badgers as a whole for the most respected opponent, if Greg thinks that a team as a whole is fair game.
