Keep voting For McKee

Greg Berge · February 03, 2005, 01:53:32 PM

In the long run, everything's meaningless... ;-)

KeithK · February 03, 2005, 02:11:24 PM

I don't disagree with that Beeeej. If it's a fun exercise in fandom then more power to you. It may be meaningless, but it's also completely harmless. I was just replying to Will's scomment about Northeastern rounding up more votes. Of course, his next post acknowledges that the point is ammo for USCHO flamefests, so it's clear he's not taking it seriously either (which I knew in the first place, so why did I post on this thread again? :-) ).

Looks like he's doing pretty good vs. his NCAA competition. He get's my vote.

McKee also looks good in L column. The goalies with fewer losses are splitting time.

Not to say nice things about the Bruins, but Brown has jumped seamlessly from good goalie to good goalie. Not the Cornell didn't and for a bunch of years.

McKee's in danger of falling another spot:
David McKee 6372
Keni Gibson (N'eastern) 6293
(as of 4:30 Thurs.)

Let's keep voting!

Beeeej · February 03, 2005, 05:24:15 PM

If it were an award for the best goalie in the NCAA, it'd be a complete no-brainer - especially for Cornellians - to vote for Dave. But it's not, it's for the best hockey player in the NCAA, and I'd have to agree, there are probably better hockey players, though how you measure goalies against forwards and defensemen is a rather open-ended philosophical question.

Oh, I don't think so. I'm a plenty interested and motivated COrnell hockey fan, but I can't be bothered to vote in "Stuff for Hobey" because I know how silly and basically meaningless it is. (Not to mention the fact that I don't think McKee is the best player in college hockey this year...)[/q]

Sigalet in first must be killing you! ;-) Which is worse, sympathy-stuff or homer-stuff?

dbilmes · February 04, 2005, 07:29:30 PM

Voted yesterday, and then went to vote today but was told I had already voted. Seems they registered yesterday's vote as today's even though I voted around 4 pm yesterday. Interesting...

duffs4 · February 04, 2005, 10:17:28 PM

After watching the Colgate game I would say that McKee is easily one of the best NCAA Players. Without him tonights game could have easily gone to 'gate. McKee for Hobey, keep voting!

It won't let me vote! It says my vote from yesterday was cast today and that I didn't vote yesterday! :-(

puff · February 04, 2005, 11:53:31 PM

Same thing for me. I sent a comment to them about that it too so hopefully it'll urge them to figure it out and fix it ::twak::

Brian · February 05, 2005, 07:37:25 AM

I found it best to vote early in the morning between 8-9am. The loading time is not as slow and I haven't had any more problems with the site crashing. I have checked the standings periodically over the course of the day and the site seems to continually crash especially in the afternoon.

duffs4 · February 05, 2005, 03:55:50 PM

Oddly enough if the voting for the top ten ended today, five of the ten candidates would be goalies. Keep Voting McKee is getting challenged for 5th!

Ben Rocky '04 · February 06, 2005, 01:03:01 PM

Northern Michigan's Tarkki has passed McKee. Keep up the voting, faithful!

Was it just me or did that happen out of no where?

Some extra motivation for those that aren't voting for McKee:

"He's solid," said Vaughan of McKee. "People look at Cornell, and I think sometimes the goalies get a bum rap because they play so well in front of them. He faced some pretty grade-A chances tonight. The one on Jon Smyth at the side of the net ... that was one of the best saves I've ever seen."
