Re: Austin Smith Colgate
I believe RIT is the only Atlantic Hockey team to reach the FF. The ECAC wants to be considered with the WCHA, CCHA and Hockey East, no? It is by far #4 with no significant tournament results to point to over the past 10 years. I realize you're an ECAC guy, so it's hard for you to accept the fact that your conference is terrible, but it is what it is. But if you want to parse it so "the ECAC just isn't as good as the other three major conferences"...fine. That you can surely agree with.
So now you're bringing up the possibility that if Colgate played in Hockey East, Austin Smith could have 40 goals...exactly double what the leading goal scorer in Hockey East has? And that if UMD was in the ECAC, Connelly could have only 10? Ya, ok...
You are correct though, he does lead the nation in goals.
