Nope, neither of them made it. diamond_ace only got 3, but jkrever got 20, which is 10 short of what is needed.
Now, moving onto the players.
Michael Astorino, Markus Backlund, Daniel Carlsson, Matthew Ekblad, Josef Heiss, Mark Malyckj, Vyacheslav Onoprienko, Rashad Thomas, Niclas Wastlund, and Emma Watson, did not get any votes this year, meaning they will all be removed from the ballot. Sorry guys. :(
However, the following did get votes:
Thomas Duddy
Nick Fisher
Frankie Gooseneck
Raymond Lindsay
Jed Mosley
Zach Myers
Jordan Nugent-Hall
Reggie Williams
The fans would disagree slightly with this top 8, as they had Kevin Lebacon, Laraque Obama, and Niclas Wastlund, there, with them getting 27, 15, and 16, votes respectively. The fans also did not have Thomas Duddy, Nick Fisher, or Frankie Gooseneck in their top 8.
Out of those 8, a whopping 4 made it! We have a big class this year, so this update will be dedicated to inducting two players and eliminating one. First, the elimination.
With 6 votes, Zach Myers fell 24 votes short and finished 8th in voting. The fans had him in 6th with 18 votes. This means he will be removed from future ballots as it was his final year of eligibility. Sorry. :(
Now to happier things! The highest vote-getter this year was...
...former Dragon, Chief, and Blizzard, REGGIE WILLIAMS!!!!!
Williams finished with 90 out of a possible 100 votes, showing near unanimous support for his induction. Congrats Grim!
The fans almost agree, as they had him in 5th with 21 votes, meaning that they also believe him to be almost worthy based on a class size of 4.
In second place, we had a guy who was a bit of a journeyman, but a superstar all the same...
...former Rage, Renegade, Panther, Platoon, and Wolfpack, FRANKIE GOOSENECK!!!!!
Congrats Gooseneck! With 46 votes, Gooseneck came in 2nd and was clear of the induction threshold by 16 votes.
This leaves:
Thomas Duddy
Nick Fisher
Raymond Lindsay
Jed Mosley
Jordan Nugent-Hall
These five are vying for just 2 spots, so stay tuned!
Elimination time, as Thomas Duddy, with 10 votes, falls 20 votes short of induction. Better luck next year, King!
This means the final spot will come down to Nick Fisher and Jordan Nugent-Hall. The one who made it got 30 votes, just enough for induction, while the other got 29, just one short of induction. Who made it in?!?!
