Agreed.

We need to team up with these guys for Jihads. They're relentless.

I'd love to see a geographical map of where the votes are coming from. For instance, for those voting for Knight are they mostly coming from North Dakota, or is High River and Calgary a big factor voting for the hometown kid?

Similarly I'd love to know what percentage of Gaudreau votes are from the Boston area.

We need to somehow get the Flames to flash the Hobey Baker Award website on the scoreboard tonight.

We're like 1000 back now, this is unbelievable.

Something just occurred to me, the Flames twitter needs to not only tell people to vote, but let them know that they can vote daily. Most probably thought if they voted once, then they've done their part.

I think the enemy has figured out how to automate the voting. I wish Malcomk14 were involved with his graphs - we'd probably see the voting pattern on their side becoming very linear the last few days.

Yes, should be time in between periods and such to get the word out to vote and vote often.

BC need to get behind Johnny too. Can't help but wonder if they are.

The twitter idea would work great. I just have no idea how twitter works.

They seem to have the ability to turn on voting at will. They've done it multiple times, going from way back to a few hundred ahead

It really does sound like something close to, if not, a voting machine (the only other option is that they're telling people to stop voting heavily).

Exactly. If they flash it on the scoreboard for every home game they will get at least 5000 votes ( everybody has a cell) for every game.

That's a fantastic idea. Does anyone know someone within the organization we could pull some strings with?

I assume they'll still be doing the Tweet2Screen thing from last year, so we just need to spam that with "Vote for Johnny" messages.

How many people actually read those? It's mostly homers, birthday wishes, and some kid posting on it.

Though, if you try, this fits within 150 characters

Only two points behind Corban now, playing in 5 less games. Pretty sure he's a lock to win
