Patty Kaz 2013

I respectfully disagree and have to place Jenner over Lam. She and Lam have about the same # of pts per game, but Jenner has done it with less supporting cast (no twin sister who she has played with her whole life) and a very young team. Yet, she led her team to win the ECAC and IVY (co-champs) Leagues. She also has a very high GPA and started a charity, Markers for Madysen where she got sponsors who pay $1 for every goal - to assist a young girl with cancer.

Is it really fair to have 3 WCHA players in the final-3 when there are more East teams in the top-8.

I'm sorry - I missed the part where fair came into the equation when deciding who the best players are.

Waaa. Waaa. Call the waambulance. These girls have certainly had a fair of share of recognition over the years for their accomplishments, including the most important one as Olympians.

I could name a pile of other players who got a whole lot less love, recognition or appreciation for their accomplishments. Including a fine defenseman, Hayley Cudmore who was snubbed for All Ivy completely this season despite having not only better defensive stats (plus minus), but also better offensive stats not only than a teammate on D, but also better than a forward from another program who got first team recognition.

It happens. Awards don't always go to the most deserving players.

Not arguing the "who" of it...but the fact is that numbers in any situation certainly can be looked at from a variety of different viewpoints so depending upon your viewpoint, they certainly can at least fib.

Okay, seriously, if you gave odds at -400 for Kessel to win the Kaz, I would put my entire life savings up because that is guaranteed return.

A couple weeks ago, I might have agreed with you, but the picture has changed. Kessel was on pace for > 120 pts. Now, Kessel has been on the shelf, Räty has back-to-back shutouts, is rewriting the goaltending record book, and I think has become even more vital to her team. So hang unto those life savings.

It's like they say in horse racing when a heavy favorite is running with very short odds, "If you already have $5, do you really need $6?"
 
Re: Patty Kaz 2013

Jenner had a hand in all 8 of Cornell's goals this weekend 4-4 including scoring yesterday's OT game winner and today's game winner unassisted with 1 second to go on the clock.
