Richter Award Discussion

Who else thought it was odd that (going from memory) something like 40 goalies were selected for the award. That's 2/3 of those starting for D1 programs. Maybe it could be a little more selective to begin with.

Definitely too many names as a start, but I suppose it keeps fans of various teams excited their players are considered amongst the best in the country (even if they really aren't HA)

I don't care for Pecker, but I cannot imagine anybody at Q wants to fire him. The guy is incredibly successful and he is the obvious coach to see Q off to their inevitable Hockey East slot.

(It is very weird he and Schafer are good friends. No accounting for taste, I guess. :-) )

There’s always an idiot or two when the talent of a blue blood gets us come April.

I know we have this talk every year about Hockey East, I don’t believe that will happen soon. Hard to dislike being in the same breath of the elitists of Yale and everyone wants to see Schafer and Rand shake hands at least twice a year :-)
 
After seeing Chrona last weekend I'd say he was good. It is somewhat hard to judge him on Friday since DU shut down WMU's offense well, but the few chances Western got he made the saves. On Saturday he was more instrumental in DU's win with DU on the PK much more. Chrona is likely the best goalie WMU has seen this season.
 
Levi is out of contention in my view barring a insane run by NU for HE tournament championship. He was fairly average the last 4 games and absolutely abysmal at Lowell. His save percentage is good but his losses in December against poor teams really close the door in my view. He's a top 3 contender for sure but I think he needs another year in college hockey. Aside from one beanpot he has never won a really big game that he absolutely had to win.
 
I'm astonished Close didn't make it.

That said Blake is the guy who should win it. Without him Tech wouldn't a cellar dweller.

Where did I ever say he would get a vote? His stats aren't where they need to be and that run and gun system would never allow for great goalie stats. I imagine if he had the best defensive defenseman and best defensive forward in front of him he would be picked and his numbers would improve greatly.

Its an award for the best goalie stats and not the best goalie prospect. "All three are ranked in the top five in NCAA save percentage...."...Lazy.

Pietila will probably win it as he has the best stats among the three.
