Stack Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 After voting for Hobey today I see where CC fans have voted Seyna first and Preissing second. I think us Sioux fans need to pick a guy and make sure we consistently vote for that player for first. Right now people have almost voted for Spiewak in first as many times as they have voted for Parise. I like Spiewak too but he's not going to win the Hobey Baker. I would recommend that us Sioux Fans pick Parise as our Number 1 guy. After that we can vote for Bochenski or Spiewak or anyone else you think deserves it. That way we aren't muddying the water with us all splitting votes amongst those 3 guys. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Fan Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 While I agree with your thoughts, I have been voting for Bochenski, Parise and Lundbohm (in that order) on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 How many advance to round 3? As I recall, in round 3 everyone only gets to vote once, so there the cream usually rises to the top because the effects of ballot-stuffers are minimized.

The Sicatoka Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Read how the selection process works. The top selections from the fans will join the ballots from the Selection Committee (comprised of college hockey personnel, pro scouts and media) in determining the Hobey winner. All of the fan votes in the FINAL round (this is round 2 of 3) of voting count for ONE vote amongst the "college hockey personnel, pro scouts and media." I don't mean to be a downer here, but it's not like you are selecting the Hobey Baker winner directly. Some NHL scout is going to pull out his "NCAA top scorers" list and his "NHL CSB rankings" list and fill out his ballot without a second thought. (I hope not, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen.) Their vote equals all of the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootdogger Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I know the fan vote doesn't have a huge impact, so I usually only vote once or twice a year. Anyways...I have not been on board with voting a full Sioux Slate--but am still a homer for the most part: Bochenski, Sejna, DHale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I vote every day. I vote for Parise, Bochenski, and Sejna. I was voting for Spiewak, but Sejna has earned my third place vote. I am sure surpirised to see Preising and Sejna jump ahead of everyone so fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
