    MVP of the best team. Its the way it almost always goes. If Wisconsin had won the MacNaughton, Geoffrion would have been POY.

    Besides Chevy might have the best NHL future of all these guys.

      Mike Lee didn't make rookie of the year?!? Complete bull****! Drew LeBlanc, no 3rd team, no nothing?!? I'm sick of college hockey!

      Ok, now that my impression of uw14's done, yeah, pretty easy selections this year. Switch Raboin to 2nd team and Prosser to 3rd and its practically EXACTLY what I think it should've been. Congrats to.... well everybody!
      tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

        Genoway healthy is hands-down the best d-man in the league. No issue at all with winning third team status with 9 GP. I am sure the players and coaches in the league would echo the pick. The guy is money.

          Little surprised that Gwozdecky was named Coach of the Year since that award usually goes to the "most improved" team or "biggest surprise."

          That being said, this is his fourth WCHA Coach of the Year Award. Its his 16th year at DU.

            I gotta call out the outstanding winner of the Student-Athlete Award. As someone who's getting old, I hope he succeeds. My life might just depend on it.

            Congratulations Eli.

              Wow. That's better than most of us will ever do and he's still an undergrad.

              Bravo, Eli.

              I went to Denver with Eli's uncle, Dan Vlaisavljevich, who was a DU defenseman in the early 80s. I am sure Dan is one proud uncle today.

                He is well deserving, brilliant student with a 4.0 gpa all 4 years at Michigan Tech in Biomedical Engineering, up for a Rhodes Scholarship. Honestly, he is just an all-around good guy. I'll miss having him around the program.

                I've met him and Eli's parents, I'm sure they are all very proud today. They are great people.

                  To get a 4.0 for four years in a demanding major at a tough school is a huge academic accomplishment. But to go beyond mastering existing material with a serious constribution to creating new bio-medical advances is sensational.

                  To do both of these while being a Division I athlete is nothing short of incredible.

                    We see these young people on Friday and Saturday nights. What they do with the rest of their time is often more amazing than what we see on the ice.

                      Great gene pool there. Proud papa Steve V, is a great hockey dad and a great guy. Steve used to travel to Denver to watch Dan play. Well done Eli.

                        How long has it been since not one Gopher player is named in the entire awards roster?

                        That's very, very telling for the state of the program right now. Time for a regime change, methinks.

                          With 20 drafted players, you would think a few of them would play their way into elite WCHA consideration. Schroeder and Lucia tied for 25th in league scoring. Barriball probably would have been in the mix had he not gotten hurt. Patrick White had a decent year on D, and Kangas was fourth in goaltending. But you are probably right that despite some good talent, the Gophers were unable to get WCHA-elite-level performances this season.

                            Patrick White doesn't play defense.

                            The only player that had a shot was Leddy for the rookie team. Getting his jaw crushed probably destroyed that opportunity. Course if Kangas had lived up..................but I digress.

                              My bad. Meant to say Leddy, not White.
