Hobey Nyquist Has Something To Prove

UNH's Bobby Butler Named Hockey East Player of the Year


Well this is just horrible news for Terrier fans.  Bobby Butler won the Hockey East Player of the Year award, beating out fellow Hobey Baker Finalist Gustav Nyquist.

In case you were wondering, here is how Butler and Nyquist's conference scoring numbers match-up.

Point Scoring:                                               GP     PPG    G- A- P
1   Bobby Butler             New Hampshire      SR F       27    1.52   21-20-41
Gustav Nyquist           Maine              SO F       27    1.52   12-29-41
Can anyone say co-player of the year?

Bobby Butler is a senior, and that is probably the reason that he was given the award over Nyquist, who is just a sophomore at Maine.

The horrible news is that now Nyquist has something to prove when he struts into the Garden for his first ever Hockey East semi-final series.
