ESPN on UND's two Hobey Baker candidates

Here is a nice read on the The UND Fighting Sioux's Hobey Baker Candidates. First off; Phil Lamoureux and T.J. Oshie are legitimate Hobey Baker Memorial Award nominees and no matter how the votes turn out these players are deserving of this award.

Senior goalie Lamoureux has lost only one game in the past 20, while allowing opponents one goal or less in 15 of those outings. He sports the nation's best goals-against average at 1.63, along with the second- best save percentage at .934.

There is no doubt that if Oshie had decided to sign with St. Louis the Fighting Sioux would have been a little thin on offense and probably would have been displaying the trap every night. I am just glad as a Sioux fan we have a few more games before Oshie is off to the NHL.

North Dakota's Oshie boasts five game winners this season and a career total of 16 clinchers, placing him second all-time in Fighting Sioux history. Named to the WCHA First Team, Oshie finished fifth in WCHA scoring, producing a team-high 39 points in 37 games. Michigan senior forward Porter is the nation's leading scorer, producing points in all but six of the 38 games he's played. Porter helped guide his team to the CCHA regular season title and is a finalist for the league's player of the year award and best defensive forward award.
