At long last, the wait is over. Fans voted on Election Day for the bobblehead of their choice, electing Braden Holtby by a landslide over Tom Wilson and Justin Williams. On Tuesday against Calgary, there were more bobbles than fans: 19,008 bobbleheads made their way to Verizon Center, enough for everyone in attendance, and an uncontested sellout for Holtby Bobblehead Inauguration Day.
As for the bobblehead itself: It’s a beauty. It’s got a real net on a metal post, a loose stick (don’t lose it!) and a wobblin’ prettily-painted head that certainly resembles Holtby.
