Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 From what I've read the knock on him was that he wasn't strong enough defensively. The last d-man to win the Hobey was recognized as being very good defensively as well as offensively. Smith's more of a run and gun guy right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted April 1, 2010 link Personally I think this is bulls*** Smith deserved it, defensman dont get enough recognition IMO I haven't watched enough of him to know whether or not he deserved it (I've heard his defensive game can be sketchy), but the bolded part is extremely true.

GORM19 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 It sucks that smith didn't make it, but look at nyquist a sophomore leading in scoring and we got him in the forth round.It maybe another gem that the wings have found. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicada 4 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 if smith stays at Wisconsin next year i'd make a bet that the Hobey will between him and Nyquist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carman 387 Report post Posted April 2, 2010 Smith is the Mike Green of College hockey... I have no problem with him not being selected for the Hobey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Smith is the Mike Green of College hockey... I have no problem with him not being selected for the Hobey. exactly, IF Smith is esstaintly the Mike Green of college, can people on here who thought it was buls*** Green was up for anything complain about Smith not making it. I know the Hobey isn't just for d man like the Norris, but I don't know if they have a straight award for defense in college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Yeah I like Smith and everything. I think he has a bright future, but this year he was essentially a 4th forward. He needs some big improvement in the defensive zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
