Player Discussion Lane Hutson Part 2

[Captain Mountain]

Hutson
Snuggerud
Levi
Farrell

all top 10 finalists who were more deserving than Knies.

I just really don't get Knies over Snuggerud. Like, even if you pretend the Big-10 is the only league that matters (its not), Snuggerud had a better season on the same team.

 

[WeThreeKings]

It should have been:

Fantilli--- Winner
Levi---runner up
Cooley/Hutson

Knies is a joke, he's not even top 5.

Knies shouldn't have finished above Farrell.

The Hobey Backer has been mostly a "thank you for staying with your University 3-4 years and improving" award over the last 41 years. Knie fits that mold perfectly.

Well Caufield, Makar, others won it with only 2 yrs in NCAA.

Just read the criterias that include scholastic achievements. Top 10 is influenced by fans voting. Top 3 is by 29 coaches and NHL scouts

Except he doesn't. He just finished his sophomore (20 yr old) season. If that was the intention then Farrell makes more sense.

I put the stats for it in this thread a few weeks ago: 2 freshmen and 5 sophomores in 41 years.

But looks like I did a mistake (see below) and this year will be a freshmen or sophomore.

My bad, I was sure it was his 3rd season and not the 2nd one.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Knies is barely even a top 3 candidate on Minnesota alone.

 

[morhilane]

Well not a finalist for the Hobey, but he won an award still. 2nd freshman ever to win it,

Damn the man is dripped out of the wazoo

I owe him an apology, I wasn't familiar with his drip.

Hutson had a better rookie year than Makar did as a softmore when he won the Hobey Baker award, and Hutson wasn't even a finalists?? WTAF. LOLZ.

Its not an only-hockey award…

 

[SlafySZN]

Its not an only-hockey award…

Still, Hutson is the most important piece on the BU team.

Was he caught drowning a bag of kittens? Did Makar save a bunch of orphans from a burning building? What am I missing here?

 

[JRichard]

You say he deserves the Hobey-Baker because of that?
Its not a best player award as it is often labeled. Its also an off-ice, character thing.
Maybe reading about the man would help…

No, just like Bill Masterton’s nominees who do not win it all. Its a judgement thing. Lady Bing. King Clancy.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Hutson is going 2.06 PPG next season beginning his new villain arc. He's also reaching 6'1 in the summer, and kissing but not calling all the chicks that rejected him at 5'6.

His girlfriend is a badass BU hockey player, too.

Who cares, he's cheating. He's a villain now.

Not quite. It’s an award for best player as well as character on and off the ice but on ice performance is still the main focus. Given Hutson’s historical performance for a rookie, best since Leach in the 70’s and past Hobey Baker winners, he absolutely should’ve been nominated. It’s crazy that he wasn’t when Cooley and Knies were. All good candidates but Hutson literally made history.

Hutson on his way to bag all the thotties

As much as I've been a Hutson denier, I must admit the NCAA is seriously capping on this one.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

This Knies to be corrected asap.
Someone's getting fired after this.
