siouxcaddy Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I would think these two players would be considered for Offensive Player of the week for the WCHA and maybe even USCHO. Both had 7 points on the weekend--Both had 4 goals and 3 assists. Vannek figured in on about 44% of the U of M offense on the weekend 7 of the 16 goals. Parise figured in on about 58% of UND's offense, 7 of 12. Did anyone else have a big weekend offensively? Or will it be between these two? Quote
TheSiouxFan Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 the % of the offense is and interesting stat and by that it'd make more sense for Parise, but they have been known to give out Co-MVP's. Quote
flatspin7 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 That one might be a toss-up from what I gather neither opposition put up a lot of fight so there might end up being co-offensive player of the week, but it should be Parise, becuase I said so! Quote
UMDDogz Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 NObody else came close to the kind of weekend Vanek and Parise had. Lessard for UMD had 3-1-4, and Schwabe extended his point streak to 13 games. I would say the award should go to Parise, but Vanek may get it because of his hat-trick. Quote

The fact that Vanek got a hat trick was meaningless. If Bochenski didn't get it for his 4 goal Friday performance vs UAA, then Vanek won't get it because of his hat trick. Hat tricks aside, and just looking at the weekend totals, I will pick Vanek for USCHO and INCH POTW honors. Why? Because the Gophers at one time sucked this season and the Austrian sensation showing up is just a feel good story to more people (Minnesota population is larger than ND's). Therefore, Vanek gets the nod. If everything is fair, then there would be co-POTWs, which is what will happen with WCHA honors. Quote
UMDDogz Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Who got it the week Bo got 4 goals?? Somebody who must have had a huge game both nights? Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 I'm thinking Vanek will get it, just because of MN's turn around this year. Quote

cfm567b27 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Well it made me feel good. More importantly, I don't care who gets either award. Correct me if I'm wrong - Vanek is leading Minnesota in penalty minutes? Quote
Greyeagle Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Correct me if I'm wrong - Vanek is leading Minnesota in penalty minutes? I think he was going into the weekend series with MSU-M, now Ballard is. Vanek - 22/44 Ballard - 17/53 Quote
redwing77 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Who got it the week Bo got 4 goals?? Somebody who must have had a huge game both nights? On INCH it was someone from LSSU. On USCHO it was someone from Yale I think? Quote
Greyeagle Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Parise & Vanek are WCHA Offensive Players Of The Week. Quote
Goon Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Parise & Vanek are WCHA Offensive Players Of The Week. I guess my prediction came through eh? Good for them. It amazing how many points these guys can score with Goons drapped all over them. Quote
WPoS Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 silly Goons, hat tricks are for kids! WPoS Quote
