I share all these sentiments. Also, I can't believe Wagner was snubbed as an All American.

Agree. Not seeing Wagner at least as a second team AA is baffling.

When Ray Stasiak[sp} won it over Adam Oates in 85 I felt the same way. The best thing that can happen now as far is colgate is concerned is to have Smith have a great NHL career and have Doc Emerick mention where he played college hockey every time he plays.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
I have to say, I think the way the league is run has a lot to do with the perception nationally. The commissioner needs to be replaced ASAP. I would suggest they go after a guy like Paul Kelley. He would instantly give the ECAC some credibility. The guy running the show now is incompetent and inadequate. The fact that he did not have a TV deal in place long ago for the ECAC Final Four is an absolute disgrace. The website looks like a 12 year old designed it and now that the new conference has a HUGE television deal, the ECAC will fall further behind. It's an embarrassment.

Also, the Cornwall Colts and their four forwards from 'Gate's 2012 recruiting class have moved onto their league's finals after sweeping their second round series. The 'Gate recruits are 4 of the top 6 in the league in playoff scoring with Borkowski in particular elevating his game with 17 points in 10 playoff games to tie for the league lead.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
thanks...read many of the posts on the Hobey Baker thread and there is certainly a decent amount of support for Austin. I'll let this thing go (at some point), but, again, Smith's numbers are so superior that even a moron would have to say he had a LARGE edge in the pure numbers. We must therefore look at other factors and they must be somewhat considerable to offset this statistical advantage. Unfortunately we come back to what I think is a clear bias against the ECAC and, on occasion, a tendency to favor WCHA players due to league strength. In addition, UMD did win a national title last year and Connolly it appears is a very good student with a few extra things on his resume. Fine; understood. I still don't buy these subjective factors. As I said, the ECAC - although in all honesty ranks fourth out of the five DI conferences - is not uncompetitive in non-conferences games. And Austin's 3.5 GPA at Colgate should count for something. One is left with the question: what will it take for an ECAC player to win the Hobey in light of the work product of Smith this year. His year wasn't just good; it was one of the best years produced by a college hockey player in the past decade. Mother Theresa and 28 goals (with a +22) would've been competitive.

You have to watch out for those UMD players.
The correct spelling is "Bill Watson."

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
I just have to say it one more time. This Hobey Award was a royal shafting!!!!!!!! Analyze these stats all you want it all points to Smitty winning the award as the best college hockey player 'This Year'.
Wags also got hosed on the A A team.

That was Reilly Smith from Miami, Austin hasn't dressed with Dallas this year.

I am sympatico with you Gaterrooter, but for the sake of your mental health I think you should let this go. Believe me, I agree with everything you've said, but we do want you back for next season's thread. So have a G&T, sit back, try to forget the blown up Hobey Award, and enjoy the Stanley Cup playoffs
