Hensick. Coming from a fan of the team that embodies poor sportsmanship he should know it when he sees it.<BR/><BR/>All you need to know about poor sportsmanship can be found over at siouxsports.com. Siouxnami is a classic pot calling the kettle black. You would have to go a long way to find a more fitting example of poor sportsmanship, just check some of his posts. They aren't hard to find.<BR/><BR/>Duncan had a good season. Not deserving of the Hobey however. He had a decent year in the scoring department. His role was quite similar to Ryan Potulny last season. Potulny being the superior player to Duncan and he didn't even make the Hobey Hat Trick. Potulny didn't deserve to be in the Hobey Hat Trick either.<BR/><BR/>From a purely historical perspective 57 points hardly qualifies Duncan as the Hobey winner. <BR/><BR/>The knock on Potulny last year was he scored too many of his goals against lower level competition. The same could be said of Duncan. Half of his goals were scored against weaker competition. Check the record. <BR/><BR/>What was Duncan' plus/minus this season? Was it as bas as TJ Oshie's was last year? Oshie scored a lot but had a pathetic plus/minus. <BR/><BR/>Ehn gets my vote. He is the complete deal. Hobey Baker by the way was also a pilot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-10001090602673088492007-04-02T07:55:00.000-05:002007-04-02T07:55:00.000-05:00Voting for Hobey is done before the first round of...Voting for Hobey is done before the first round of the NCAAs.

He's a sophomore and the Hobey has only gone to (I believe) 2 underclassmen in nearly 30 years. I think Ehn's conference will hinder him. He's a junior and the committee may think, "Let's see what he does next season..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-71679341116913170972007-03-29T18:48:00.000-05:002007-03-29T18:48:00.000-05:00It'll be good for college hockey if Ehn gets it.It'll be good for college hockey if Ehn gets it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-78315349252471369472007-03-29T15:46:00.000-05:002007-03-29T15:46:00.000-05:00Hensick's sportsmanship might have prevented him f...Hensick's sportsmanship might have prevented him from winning the Hobey, but it should have got him into the top three...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-91296739178141542362007-03-29T13:27:00.000-05:002007-03-29T13:27:00.000-05:00Ehn in a landslide, his numbers were equivalent to...Ehn in a landslide, his numbers were equivalent to the other top players (admititly against weaker overall competition) but when you add in all the off the ice stuff which is as important as the one the ice performance he just CRUSHES both Brown and Duncan.
