Hobey Polls Rank Mannino Highly

(above) Peter Mannino

Western College Hockey Blog cite DU goaltender Peter Mannino as their 2nd choice this week in their list of Hobey Baker Candidates.

Inside College Hockey haven't been impressed with Mannino's last three games and list him as a "Bear Market."

CSTV's Hobey Tracker Poll have Mannino as their 4th choice. Matt Carle was usually around 4th at this point of the season in his Hobey year.

No surprise that the LetsGoDU SuperHobeyPoll® has Mannino at #1.

Therea Spisak, the WCHA correspondent for USCHO.com seems to imply that LetsGoDU.might try to "rig" the Hobey Baker Fan Balloting in Mannino's favor. Moi?
"DU: The Pioneers have started the “Mannino for Hobey” campaign to promote senior netminder Peter Mannino. Mannino is a legit candidate this year, but we’ll see if Damien over at LetsGoDU (http://letsgodu.blogspot.com) can provide backing like they did with Danny King"

How great would it be if another Pioneer won the Hobey?!

Throw out last Saturday's game against Wisconsin. Hopefully the Pios crank it up down the stretch. This is Mannino's team--I think they'll go as far as he takes them. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

It's going to be difficult to think of a Pioneer team without Mannino... but at the same time not. Being that he's been with the Pios as long as I have been coming to school here.
