Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 The top three finalist for Hobey Baker are up. Eric Ehn, David Brown and Ryan Duncan. Go Duncan! I think his chances are good-we are the only team still in the dance with a hobey contender. Quote
Csonked Out Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 The top three finalist for Hobey Baker are up. Eric Ehn, David Brown and Ryan Duncan. Go Duncan! I think his chances are good-we are the only team still in the dance with a hobey contender. I'm actually surprised John Curry from BU didn't make it, but with ehn bein from a lower tier league and brown being more of a product of the system in some peoples eyes, Duncan's chances are suddenly better. Very surprised Ehn made it over hensick though Quote
SiouxFanatic Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Link?!?!?! What he said....I don't see an announcement on hobeybaker.com... Quote
Csonked Out Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 What he said....I don't see an announcement on hobeybaker.com... if you click on how to vote on hobeybaker.com it shows the top 3 vote getters which are ehn, brown, and duncan, but i dont know those are the three finalists. Quote
Tsiouxnami Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Looks like those are the top three vote getters in the fan vote. With Eric Ehn being the winner of that Phase of the Hobey Baker voting. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, the top 3 vote getters from the fans doesnt necessarily mean they will be the top 3 finalists. Quote
Csonked Out Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, the top 3 vote getters from the fans doesnt necessarily mean they will be the top 3 finalists. now i'm not nearly as confused, i was floored when the thread said ehn was a finalist Quote
PCM Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 if you click on how to vote on hobeybaker.com it shows the top 3 vote getters which are ehn, brown, and duncan, but i dont know those are the three finalists. That doesn't really mean anything. When they officially announce the Hobey Hat Trick, it will mean something. Quote
UNDintheNHL Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 where can we see the actual % of votes each finalist has? Quote
Tsiouxnami Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 where can we see the actual % of votes each finalist has? Doesn't look like you can. It says, "Survey unavailable"?? Quote
Csonked Out Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Doesn't look like you can. It says, "Survey unavailable"?? I would speculate that Brown, Curry and Hensick we'll be the finalists, brown and hensick because of the numbers and curry because you need someone from out east usually. Kinda sucks but duncan may be on the outside lookin in Quote
redwing77 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I'll restate (perhaps change) my picks: Top three: Ehn -- Feel good story. Good pub for "lesser conferences." Not necessarily a good Hobey Baker winner, but since when does the most deserving player get the award? (see Panzer). Since Air Force is now in AHA, they think that will garner the Eastern vote. Hensick -- Big school. Big numbers. Big publicity. NOT WCHA. Not the best attitude but his on ice performance isn't questionable at all. Curry -- Eastern School. Big School. NOT WCHA. Sleeper picks: Brown (ND), Duncan (UND) Duncan won't win because he's a sophomore from a school the NCAA doesn't like that hasn't broken any records who plays on a line that should produce numbers like that. If the NCAA and the folks on the committee were ever looking to take the Hobey away from the WCHA, this is the year they could do it with only the minimum of kvetching. Quote
Sioux Hockey Fanatic Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 I think they will be announcing the official finalist this week. I doubt TJ Hensick has any chance after that 10 min game misconduct. Quote

AZSIOUX Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 the fan vote does not determine the hobey hattrick, bummer thread, get the hopes up then read and its not official yet Quote
LeftyZL Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I think they will be announcing the official finalist this week. I doubt TJ Hensick has any chance after that 10 min game misconduct. Wednesday, the 28th, they will be announcing the Hobey Hat Trick of Finalists. Quote
redwing77 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 the ncaa has absolutely nothing to do with picking the hobey winner or finalists. THis is a total buzzkill to my conspiracy theory! Thanks, jerk! Quote
AZSIOUX Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Wednesday, the 28th, they will be announcing the Hobey Hat Trick of Finalists. 1, 10 minute misconduct wont have a darn thing to do with a hobey baker award, lets be real, its the top 3 players...and if they feel he is top 3 which i think he should be then he will be in hensick brown duncan my guesses Quote
Vegas Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 1, 10 minute misconduct wont have a darn thing to do with a hobey baker award, lets be real, its the top 3 players...and if they feel he is top 3 which i think he should be then he will be in hensick brown duncan my guesses The 10 minute misconduct in the most important game of the year will definitely have some impact. It remains to be seen how much. Quote
PCM Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 1, 10 minute misconduct wont have a darn thing to do with a hobey baker award.. I wouldn't be too sure of that. Quote
Sioux_Hab-it Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I wouldn't be too sure of that. I wouldn't vote for such a one dimensional player anyway but talk about the worst possible timing. Tell me that the voters haven't at least read about it and what their impressions would be. It has to be a factor. Quote

Lots of voters will notice the timing and his comments about the incident, which were none too smart. Quote

You are the best player on your team. You are in the West regional with a team that beat you last season in the first game. Your team is behind, and need your help badly... you are the best scoring threat available. ...but you had to shoot your big f'ing mouth off to the ref and he gave you 10 minutes of solitary, pretty much screwing your team out of any chance of a comeback. Hobey criteria 1 through 3= D Quote
