Final results going by position (not seeding):
York +5
Bazin +3
Sneddon +2
Dennehy +2
Gendron +1
Quinn EVEN (preseason #1)
Umile EVEN (
)
Leaman EVEN
Micheletto -1
Jackson -2
Cavanaugh -2
UMadBro? -6
If you're using this as a small guide for voting on COY, it's pretty clear that it has to be one of the three coaches that shared the RS title.
York.
Pros: Went +5, best in the league, and took a squad decimated by pro defections and amazingly tied UML and BU in the standings.
Cons: Team looks like they belong in the Super 8 rather than Hockey East as the season closes. Choked away a huge, huge lead.
Quinn.
Pros: Given that he could NOT have a positive number with a preseason #1 rank, he did finish right on the money. Meeting high expectations is always welcome and you cannot be penalized for being ranked #1 going into a season.
Cons: With a talent differential equivalent to the Harlem Globetrotters vs the Washington Generals, BU somehow finished tied with BC, a glorified HS team right now. How did this happen?
Bazin.
Pros: At +3, he had the second highest climb from the preseason expectations and also shared the RS title.
Cons: None? Somehow finished tied with BC?
Thoughts? By the time I got to Bazin I realized it's truly a reach to find a negative against him. It's a tough call. York did do an amazing job overall but seeing the team tank and not be able to defend, score, or put together a powerplay really makes it hard to make the vote here in the end of February. Quinn, you feel like perhaps even though he did win, the point differential in the standings would be higher and he would not have had to share it given such talent on the roster. UML... they are peaking at the right time, terrific team, terribly difficult to play against, Bazin may be the choice.
