[JIHAD] Vote for Johnny Gaudreau as the Hobey Baker recipient (Need YOUR Vote!)

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

I have gained a new respect for UND and its fans. CP has lots very few jihads in its existence and right now we're down by about 3000 votes.

I'm getting in four votes a day.

Corban Knight is on a 19 game point streak, right now. If he falls off in the scoring department down the stretch, UND fans might fade a little. Or Gaudreau could go on a tear even more than he has already. so who knows what will happen. Lots of time left.


Watch out if/when the Flames have a Hobey Baker Candidate that plays for UND! We will crush everyone together!

[The Fonz]

North Dakota is pretty much Canada.

Does not surprise me.

Gaudreau just had 5 assists last weekend. How much of a tear does he need?

[Roof-Daddy]

Knight seems to be having a great season for sure, but Johnny Hockey is having a better one IMO, and he's got two less years of NCAA experience, and is a full three years younger than Knight.

Gaudreau is a hell of a player.

I haven't seen a lot of him, but I liked what he did at the World Juniors.
I still rewatch some of his goals he scored in Ufa when I'm bored.

Haha. So do a lot of us on both counts, and we're mostly Canadians.

[SkunkyJosh]

This reminds me of this jiad thing to get Rory Fitzpatrick at the All-star game in 2006.
Pretty sure we were enough people to vote for him and the NHL lied to us again...

i voted...bump

When can Johnny realistically crack the Flames roster? As well Bill Arnold is doing well to?

Depends on whether or not he wants to finish college.

He could be on the roster next year if he really wanted to, but I'd suggest 2-3 years is probably more likely.

He's not like Jankowski, who is still like 4 years away.

Corban Knight isn't even the best player on his team IMO

That's never stopped the Hobey Baker committee before.

A guy from UND named Ryan Duncan won the award a few years back...

He had a couple of linemates that year by the name of Jonathon Toews and T.J. Oshie. Maybe you've heard of them?

Wasn't even the second-best guy on his line, lol. He racked up a crap ton of points playing with those guys, though.

[Table 5]

Every CPEr should throw in one vote to Jon Gillies, so we can at least get him into the enxt round. Beating 194 votes is peanuts.

Voting him into the top ten in the fan voting doesn't mean that he will make the next round, since 99% of the vote is still with the selection committee, or whoever gets to vote on the Hobey Baker.

EDIT: Not saying that it shouldn't be done.

[StrykerSteve]

Wow, Knight has a like 10K lead. Most failed jihad ever?

[IgiTang]

Damn... Knight starting to run away with it.

[StrykerSteve]

Now a 16,000 vote lead for Knight.
