I have been lucky enough to see all of the NESCAC teams play this year. I thought I'd get a discussion going with some observations.
Best Goaltending:
Williams
Amherst
Trinity
Middlebury
Colby
Bowdoin
Hamilton
Weslyan
Best Offense:
Bowdoin
Middlebury
Williams
Hamilton
Colby
Amherst
Trinity
Weslyan
Best Coach
Middlebury
Hamilton
Trinity
Colby
Amherst
Weslyan
Bowdoin
Williams
My picks are:
Hamilton[/B] (well Coached very physical, goaltending is either very good or very bad, Weslyan is a dangeroud #8 seed, with wins over Bowdoin, Ham, and Middlebury)
Middlebury ( not a vintage year for this team, Beany is a very good coach, and players like Drolet are difference makers in big games. Goaltending could be the difference here as well, McKinney can steal a game)
Bowdoin (Bowdoin has two of the best players in the league, Hardy is amazing, he could start just about anywhere in college hockey at any level, Weiniger is also a very strong player. Goaltending will also be a factor in this one, Amherst is a very tough team when they play well, loss to Mass Boston was puzzling)
Williams (Willams has one of their best teams in years, good top to bottom and very tough at home, Vesprini must be on fire for trinity to have a chance.)
Any of these games could go either way, they will be really fun to watch, could be a couple of OT thrillers in store. If Hamilton wins, how will Sage accomodate the crowd for what's sure to be a terrific final four.
