Linna was a very late scratch last night with a stomach virus.  My
uneducated guess is that he will be available Friday.
 
I don't know the status of Pandolfo, but it's possible he will be
available this coming weekend.

Well, it is one thing to predict who the winners will be, and another
to choose who one believes SHOULD win. :-)
 
Voting has already taken place for these and other HE awards, and the
results will be announced Thursday.
 
I am pretty sure that if I had a vote, this is how I would cast it:
 
ALL HOCKEY EAST TEAM
FIRST TEAM
G  Blair Allison, Maine
D  Chris Imes, Maine
D  Kaj Linna, Boston University
F  Chad Quenneville, Providence
F  Greg Bullock, UMass-Lowell
F  Mike Grier, Boston University
 
SECOND TEAM
G  Martin Legault, Merrimack
D  Jeff Tory, Maine
D  Todd Hall, New Hampshire
F  Chris O'Sullivan, Boston University
F  Eric Flinton, New Hampshire
F  Jordon Shields, Northeastern
 
HOCKEY EAST ALL ROOKIE TEAM
G  Tom Noble, Boston University
D  Jeff Tory, Maine
D  Mike Nicholishen, UMass-Lowell
F  Mark Mowers, New Hampshire
F  Casey Kesselring, Merrimack
F  Shawn Wansborough, Maine
   Chris Drury, Boston University
 
Only one winner is named for the below awards, but I am
listing my top three choices.
 
Rookie of the Year
1  Jeff Tory, Maine
2  Mark Mowers, New Hampshire
3  Casey Kesselring, Merrimack
 
Bob Kullen Award - Coach of the Year
1  Shawn Walsh, Maine
2  Dick Umile, New Hampshire
3  Ron Anderson, Merrimack
 
Player of the Year
1  Blair Allison, Maine
2  Chad Quenneville, Providence
3  Greg Bullock, UMass-Lowell
 
Len Ceglarski Award - Individual Sportsmanship
1  Ryan Haggerty, Boston College
2  Steve Thornton, Boston University
3  Jean-Francois Aube, Northeastern
   Jeff Tory, Maine
 
Remember, those are *my* selections.  The real winners will be
announced Thursday.
 
I believe New Hampshire has won the Team Sportsmanship Award, given to
the team averaging the fewest penalty minutes per league game.
