AZSIOUX Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Another season has passed as we head into the playoffs. I see Brad Schlossman has his picks out so we can start with those... http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/ First team F -- Blake Geoffrion, Wisconsin F -- Rhett Rakhshani, Denver F -- Jack Connolly, Duluth D -- Brendan Smith, Wisconsin D -- Ryan McDonagh, Wisconsin G -- Marc Cheverie, Denver Comments: Geoffrion, Rakhshani, Smith and Cheverie are locks. Went with JConnolly over the other Dogs because of his all-around play. McDonagh is NHL ready and his +19 is ridiculous. Second team F -- Justin Fontaine, Duluth F -- Derek Stepan, Wisconsin F -- Tyler Ruegsegger, Denver D -- Patrick Wiercioch, Denver D -- Nate Prosser, Colorado College G -- Brad Eidsness, North Dakota Comments: Fontaine also makes that UMD offense go. Went with Stepan over Davies because I think he's the better all-around player. Ruegsegger also is a well-rounded player who plays in all situations. Wiercioch and Prosser put up the numbers and Eidsness' numbers justify his second straight all-WCHA selection. Third team F -- Chris VandeVelde, North Dakota F -- Brett Olson, Michigan Tech F -- Ryan Lasch, St. Cloud State D -- Gabe Guentzel, Colorado College D -- Jake Marto, North Dakota G -- Alex Kangas, Minnesota Comments: VandeVelde and Olson are not only their teams' top scorers, they also are very good faceoff guys and all-around players. Lasch again put up good numbers. Marto was the most consistent D-man on the country's third-best defensive team. Omissions: The guy I had the most trouble leaving off was Joe Colborne. He deserves a spot. Kevin Clark, Mike Connolly, Michael Davies, Jason Gregoire and Bill Sweatt also were factors. Mike Montgomery was very good when UND was in Duluth, but I didn't notice him as much in GF. Rookie team F -- Danny Kristo, North Dakota F -- Craig Smith, Wisconsin F -- Tyler Pitlick, MSU-Mankato D -- Matt Donovan, Denver D -- Nick Leddy, Minnesota G -- Joe Howe, Colorado College Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
