Interesting story on Aaron in Washington Post, and the linked article in it is also a good one.

Aaron Volpatti has been waived by the Canucks and picked up by the Washington Capitals.

Harry Z had a horrible game last night as well. Not sure if he got suspended

Doubtful he gets suspended. Adam Oates, the Caps head coach, blamed his own guy for the play.

Aaron Volpatti: one of my all-time favorite Brown players.

If recruiting, rather than coaching, was all that mattered, Roger Grillo would have won a few ECAC titles and possibly a national title.
For sure. Shame/blame on Grillo for recruiting three NHL caliber players who put up big penalty minutes! I'm sure Brendan was happy to see them move on from the program.

He will get some votes for sure but it would be hard pressed not to give it to Rand Pecknold after the season Quinnipiac is having.
Brendan Whittet merits serious consideration for ECAC Coach of the Year.

Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder
I think it's impossible to not consider him. I know we won't finish with one of the better records in the league, but this team should have finished dead last in light of the various injuries and inconsistent scoring that have plagued it. And yet, with two games to go, it could conceivably receive a first round bye. Whittet has done a masterful job this year, both tactically and in terms of keeping his guys focused and motivated. Bravo.

Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder
Bingo!
Biggest evidence of Grillo's great recruiting but terrible coaching: Bryan Inhacak. He could have been a great, and he was largely mediocre after his freshman year. That's on coaching.

Agreed. I do hope he'll come in second, however. You could make an argument for Seth Appert, as well.

He's had a nice turnaround season from a year ago. I'd put him third or 4th depending on where you would put Greg Carvel who has turned St. Lawrence around in his first year. It's hard not to give coach of the year to a coach whose team is 16-1-3 in the league going into the final weekend where the 2nd place team is 12 points behind.

A few stats may help tell the story:
AARON VOLPATTI
Under Roger Grillo
2006-2007: 5-2-7
2007-2008: 4-6-10
2008-2009: 6-7-13
Under Brendan Whittet
2009-2010: 17-15-32
HARRY Z
Under Roger Grillo:
2007-2008: 0-3-3
2008-2009: 1-1-2
Under Brendan Whittet
2009-2010: 13-20-33
2010-2011: 16-15-31
Recruiting talent wasn't the main problem the Brown program faced under Grillo. His teams had a tendency to underperform.

I was going to make this point but didn't feel like looking up the exact statistics. I think it's very clear what impact Grillo had on good hockey players.
Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder
What has Pecknold done that couldn't have been done by someone else? He had the tools and he had the talent. He'll win, but there's no doubting that Whittet's done more with less. If Whittet had the talent level of the QU team, they'd probably be undefeated. You guys still lost to AIC.
Btw - Appreciate the input, but the Pecknold/QU love affair is kind of amusing. Any inkling from any other forums that they might have a differing opinion that QU isn't this mega giant leads me to believe that you guys are trolling with the "OMG QUINNIPIAC IS AWESOME! I LOVE QUINNIPIAC! GO BOBCATS! WE RULE! EVERYONE ELSE STINKS! RAND IS GOD RAND IS GOD RAND IS GOD HARTZELL RULES"
You gotta pay the toll troll if you wanna get that boy's soul. -It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Cue QU fans eating me alive in 3..... 2....... 1......

Why would they eat you alive? Your team earned a true split, so you have every right to gloat.

Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder
The decision was not a surprise. Not even Capitals coach Adam Oates saw it as a dirty play, although Zolnierczyk's knee made contact with Mathieu Perreault on a late-game body check in open ice.... http://www.hockeybuzz.com/

http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/...lnierczyk-ejected-for-kneeing-caps-perreault/
his game misconduct was rescinded by the NHL. Harry Zolnierczyk's game misconduct at the end of the game against Washington has been rescinded by the NHL. There will be no suspension or fine issued as a result of the kneeing penalty he was assessed.Doubtful he gets suspended. Adam Oates, the Caps head coach, blamed his own guy for the play.
