Suppose Holzinger wins the Hobey: I just realized this would mean that all of the Hobey winners in the 1990's (so far, and with the significant exception of Paul Kariya) played for teams who didn't make it to the final four, let alone past that. Admittedly, the 90-92 winners played for teams that were upset in early round play, and were apparent final four candidates during the season, but still, doesn't the Hobey balloting come after that? My point is, all these players were voted with the voters knowing that their teams were out. Does this mean anything? Perhaps not, since the award ostensibly doesn't mark how the team does, though there is some sort of at least common sense link between the two (I'm not saying this link is true or right). Anyhow, I was thinking on this, especially as the winners in the '80's (by and large) played for teams with post-season success -- if not actually NCAA titles. (Part of the answer may also lie with the single-game format of the NCAA in the 90's, but still, that only came about in 92). Sandy
