How DU "Stole" the Hobey Baker Award
- Carle winning two National Championships & "The Pass" to Stastny last year against UND had to stick in voters minds.
- DU having almost half its games televised on Fox College Sports.
- DU getting the "Carle for Hobey" Website up and running early and having the site looking good.
- Elliott's injury was pivotal since he was running away from the field at the time of the injury.
- Danny King getting inside Brett Sterling's head and bringing his play down a notch.
- DU's Power Play working like clockwork from New Year's onwards. Props to Stastny because he was the key to the PP's success IMO.
- When the two time National Coach of the Year is singing your praises, the media notices.
- All the media articles that appeared throughout the country. Props especially to the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News, which really came through with some well-timed and well-written Carle articles keeping the momentum going.
- Puck Swami's posts, which clearly defined what the parameters of the Hobey Baker selection were going to be this year. Who knows if or how many voters he swayed?
- Carle getting into the lineup with San Jose and scoring was HUGE.
- And especially to Matt Carle himself, who really won the award on his own. When the media frenzy kicked into high gear, most players performance usually drops off. He handled it all with ease...
