2010 Hookies - SportsHoopla Hockey Award Winners

[elocomotive]

Finally got my new power adapter so my laptop is back online. I just tallied up the votes from the spreadsheet. I did an informal nominees list from memory last week since I didn't have access to the spreadsheet, so if you lost a nomination, my apologies and you can assume you were close.

I was going to do a video presentation, but I haven't had any access to my laptop and I got a busy week ahead, so maybe next year. Without further adieu (scroll slowly for dramatic effect, haha)...

Thanks to everyone who voted and participated in this year's awards. We'll bring them back next year after the hockey season is over, hopefully have some new categories, and maybe my computer won't catch on fire.

Cheers, and congrats to the nominees and winners!

 

[naslundfan19]

Congrats to all the winners! And how in the heck did I manage to get nominated for best overall?

 

[Darkstone42]

I got nominated for best avatar? Really? Awesome!

 

[Darkstone42]

Also, yes, congratulations to all the winners! We have a pretty excellent board here, and those guys truly do deserve the accolades. They're a big part of it.

 

[Darkstone42]

Also, thanks eloco for doing this. It was really neat.

(And see my post count rise. 650 now!)

Congrats to the winners!!

 

[mooger_35]

I'd like to thank Dion and the Toronto Maple Leafs for making this happen... I couldn't have done it without them.

 

[dash]

I'm wondering if the sympathy vote put me over the top...At any rate, thanks folks and keep cool (especially you Eastern folks).

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

So can I still claim to be "Hookie nominated poster: forty_sixand2"

I already got the promotional posters printed for my next big thread and Kinkos is a bitch about refunds.....

 

[Automattic]

Awesome! Thanks everybody! And just think, all I had to do was get my picture taken when Jumbo put his hands on Lidstrom.

Hahahaha. Sorry if I messed up, 46. Just as an FYI - you, Tox, ScottFlyers, and Naslundfan all had multiple votes in the Team Knowledge category, but just came up a little short of the nominees on that one.

So, based on that, I've checked with the rules sub-committee and come up with the following tag line you can officially use....

"Voted 2010 SportsHoopla Hockey Awards Olaf Kolzig Capitals' Fan Award for Most Knowledgeable Capitals Fan Based on Overall Team Knowledge Award"*
*Elocomotive not eligible

It just rolls off the tongue... Anyhow, congrats on being the top Capitals' fan in that category. Feel free to laud it over me at any and all times. (For example... "That's an interesting opinion, though I don't know if I'd trust a guy who's never been awarded the 'Zilla'.") You and Ritari repped us well for a bunch of bandwagon fans.

LOL, Thanks devs30. My son got me that DVD and said "Dad this is you"

I am happy I voted for most of the winners and congrats to all and a special thanks to eloco for doing this.

Now I need to work on my rep points.
