I am intotal agreement with Luiz on this issue.
 
I do think that Mike Parsons is possibly the most underrated of all
the ECAC goaltenders.
 
Going back to the goalie not having a shot, if I am not mistaken, I
believe that 4 of the 10 finalists last year were goalies.
 
Neil Little of RPI, Roloson of Lowell, Steve Shields of michigan, and
Jamie Ram of Michigan Tech.
 
Should be interesting to see if the comitteee continues the trend, or if
the propaganda was too much last year to overcome the goalies, or
if it stays true.
