I'd take LaRose over Purdy. I like Prez's forward and defenseman picks, but I like Alden's goalie picks.

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

I really hope John Bockmann of UWSP gets a little love. He is out there almost half the game. He puts up respectable offensive numbers as well. He is the rock of the team.

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

I think picking the best players should be the only factor when picking all americans.

This sort of reminds me of football all-americans that go on to play pro football. If you follow the NFL draft you will see that a lot of the first round draft choices might of been all conference selections but not all-american's. Sort of reminds me of a former Norwich player that didn't get too much support for all-american until his final year at Norwich who is the leading scorer on a ECHL team. I think if you talk to pro scouts they will tell you Kyle Thomas is the one they want to get into there program.

All American Coach: Joe Baldarotta

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

Something that I haven't seen mentioned; you need to weight the selections based on their year in school. A senior will get the nod over a freshman nearly every time unless the Frosh is head and shoulders above the senior. Next will be the Junior, then the Soph....and so it goes.

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

Prez. I still think you have Lee too far down, Willer at least a 3rd team.

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

When are the all conference lists due in? before the NCAAs?

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

Prez. I still think you have Lee too far down, Willer at least a 3rd team.

As I've said before I think Martin Lee is the best player I've seen this year, but you have to remember that these are Prez's predictions, not necessarily his teams if he were in charge of picking them. And, I have to admit, it will be hard for Lee to get 1st team votes with his lower point totals. That's just the way it usually goes.

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

Yes. ECAC East nominations were sent out today and they are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday. I would assume the lists will be compiled and sent out by Monday or Tuesday of the following week.

So far this year I would say Plattsburgh, Oswego, Norwich, and either Elmira or Manhattanvile would be considered the top teams in the east, however, your list only included 5 players from these teams. I think it is harder to get the big stats when you teams like Plattsburgh, Norwich, Castleton or Elmira whom are good on D. Some of the guys on your list would not put up as big numbers in other leagues.

Re: All-Americans Watch 2012

I can't see any ECAC West team getting a top seed in the East or a second seed either!!! That will either go to Norwich or Oswego. I haven't read all the posts here but were is Hare in the goalie conversation. Beckwith a 1st team all american goes down and Hare steps in and has been very consistant and solid this year. I would put Josepher up there for defensemen also.
