Keep in mind though how the process works.  The voters choose from the ten finalists.  The top three vote getters from this process are annointed "Hobey Hat Trick Finalists", but there isn't another vote.  The top vote getter from the ten man vote wins the award.  My point is that they don't choose a token goalie, except insofar as the voters as a whole decide to give lots of second and third place votes to a goalie.[/q]

In this case, Sigalet becomes the perfect token third-place votegetter, likely behind Sertich and Sterling.  Not only do the voters get to vote for a goalie and actually pretend that defense matters to them, but they get to satisfy their consciences by voting for the poor guy with the disease, despite the fact that statistically he wasn't even close to being the best goalie in the country.  (Yes, I know the Hobey looks at more than just the numbers, but I've never seen anything that makes McKee out to be a horrible human being either.)

Right.  Big game hunting in Africa is a positive for hockey fans, not a negative like it is for the hippies.  :-P ;-)

correcting your typo - should be "negative for hippos."

Dave and two guys from Colorado College or something are the 3 finalists.
