Re: Quinnipiac Bobcats '12-'13 Post Season - The view from the top...
Actually.....if you have been following the debate, Kyle Flanagan is the "endorsed" candidate from SLU, not Carey. They say over the years that having two players from one team detracts votes, one from the other and they both wind up suffering in the ballot. This year North Dakota is facing the same problem/issue with Knight and Kristo.
As for Hartzell....it is rare for a goalie to win the award. But I think Hartzell's best chance comes from splintered voting so he could sneak in. My guess is Gaudreau will win it as he is tops in the nation in points scored per game.
As to Hartzell winning ECAC player of the year I have very ambivalent feelings about that. I have the same feelings when it comes to the NHL awards. When there is a whole separate category for "Goalie of the Year", I don't favor having that same player win "player" of the year.
