Re: 2010-2011 Patty Kazmaier Thread
Also before UMD fans complain about Martin's omission from the ballot, I'd point out that it's probably better for their players to have the ballot tightened. These results suggest Martin wouldn't have made the 10 if she was on the ballot. Given that, it's better for Irwin and Larocque and the WCHA's chances of getting players into the 10 to have votes concentrated on the players with a real chance.
I'm also surprised that no Hockey East coach outside of Providence apparently thought Lacasse was one of the top 5 players in the conference. That Stack, Schaus, Wakefield, and Philip-Poulin would be the top 4 is unsurprising, and I'm not surprised Ward made the list as well, but I thought at least one other coach would vote up Lacasse.
