#5 & 6 are too close to separate. Top-6 get in.

....and if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills....

 

[jigglysquishy]

Not surprisingly, only two players got votes in the top two.

I'm curious on the Cleghorn > Lalonde. It's an interesting placement, and I'd love a rationale. The more we talked the more I was convinced that Cleghorn is more the consensus number one defenseman than Vezina was goalie.

 

[Sturminator]

Not surprisingly, only two players got votes in the top two.

I find it surprising Frank Nighbor didn't sweep the voting, actually.

But to each, his own.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I'm curious about the NR vote for Bowie, as it means at least one person had one of Stuart or Phillips from the same era ahead of him, which I really can't see.

I'm more surprised that those voters who put Taylor first on their initial ballots (wasn't me) changed their mind

I think Bowie is clearly ahead, but the argument for Tommy Phillips is that he was much more prolific in the Cup challenges than Bowie was.
Stuart vs Bowie? I don't know, but maybe they were both NR'd.

I think we are now officially done the "easy" part of the project. A lot of consensus in this round (4 guys were on every list, over half of ballots had Malone/Gerard as 1/2, Dye nearly completely shut out) but I think it's the last time we'll see it this cut-and-dried.

Look at those gaps from 1 to 2 to 3, to 4, to 5, to 6. No question about the conclusion the group came to. I think it gets much tighter from here on.

Top-4 get in, to give us an easy 10. Six more into the discussion hopper for this week.

 

[jigglysquishy]

The huge spreads in voting is expected with this project. But I certainly wasn't expecting votes for Phillips at both 2 and NR.

I didn't expect to be the second highest vote for Lehman.

 

[Professor What]

I agree that we're past the easy part. The lists for the first two rounds very closely mirrored my personal list, but it's a lot more spread out now that we've seen the third list. I've got a feeling we're really going to start seeing votes all over the place from here on out.

Top-5 get in.

 

[jigglysquishy]

Did I convince anyone to go Fredrickson>Denneny? I ended voting Denneny ahead anyways.

That McGee vote spread. 4 2nd place votes. 5 unranked.

Not a lot of discussion this past round.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Not a lot of discussion this past round.

I had Fredrickson 3rd, Denneny 6th. I have just never been very high on Denneny, relative to this tier of players.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Man when I look the ballot I submitted and the aggregate I'm all over the place.

 

[Habsfan18]

Man when I look the ballot I submitted and the aggregate I'm all over the place.

I think many of us were all over the place. I probably made about 200 edits and tweaks to my top-80 ballot and I’m not exaggerating. And looking at it again, I’d change my mind again on a few placements since submitting it.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Surprised Fredrickson got that much love, not that I complain. I had him high too.

I see him as the Ryan Getzlaf of pre-consolidation. A big guy who can excel against other top centers.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

It's a bit surprising Fredrickson went that much higher than MacKay and Keats, when they all ranked so close to each other in the centers project. But I guess Frank had his vocal supporters, and those of us who would vote for the other two as just as high were away.

I mean when each round's aggregrate comes out

I was very high on the 3 Franks relative to the group

One of the reasons I'm not in as a voter. Didn't feel I could honestly rate 80 players deep, and didn't have the time to get to that depth.

Surprised Fredrickson got that much love, not that I complain. I had him high too.

I see him as the Ryan Getzlaf of pre-consolidation. A big guy who can excel against other top centers.

That's fair...if Getzlaf was also almost always the best skater on the ice.

That's kinda a thing with Fredrickson tho.

We could have held on for this other set of votes but it was highly unlikely to make a difference.

 

[jigglysquishy]

That vote spread is crazy. Everyone inducted got a non ranked.

Are we willing to name the non voter?
