scoop 3,426 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I think I did okay with my S53 predictions. Not great, to be honest, but I have to wonder how many people got any Jarvi or AK47's awards correct. My success mostly came from correctly predicting team success. I had all four of the team trophies picked correctly, but the only individual award I pegged was Jakab Holik as Top Goalie. Maybe that'll teach me for predicting a lot of New York awards (it actually didn't, and my current S54 predictions have a lot of New York awards). How do I feel about the award winners? For the most part, I agree. My personal ballot agreed with all the winners except Advantage as Top GM and Hamilton as Top Defenseman, though those were two of the tougher awards to decide (I went with Higgins for Top GM and Velvet for Top Defenseman; I tried, @Higgins, now give me my TPE!). Hopefully I do better with my S54 picks, but maybe this season I get more player awards right and less team trophies. That'd be swell. for mist4ke Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/39221-how-did-my-s53-predictions-do/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins 3,618 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thanks buddy I have a good idea of the people that voted Velvet. I won't forget.

It was a tough vote, but 2/3rds of our cast voted Velvet too I believe. I'm pretty sure @Jericho and I mentioned we did.

scoop 3,426 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Honestly, I think throughout all the award voting I've done here, Top Defenseman has overall been the toughest to decide by far.

I blame the people in the BOG who did not even take the time to cast a vote.

Which will be nothing more than a select group from the BoG, who coincidentally (and I use the term literally and not sarcastically) will be made up of a group of individuals who primarily win the awards in the first place.

Well that is a load of lies. Tons of people not in the BoG win awards, have won awards in the past, and will win awards in the future. No serious candidates get disqualified, or don't get their due in this current system, or any system that pushes voting with debates and justification over blanket popularity voting. Which is exactly the type of mentality we didn't want this to be. If you have a better solution, I'm all ears. Although I don't see how an award committee wouldn't solve matters since there are easily strong candidates outside of the BoG who would make it as well.
