Today, the topic is the Calder Trophy. The Calder is given to the best rookie. We're going to keep this one short, since it likely will not be the source of heated debate. Cindy would qualify by the number of games, but the "kid" clause is in effect, preserving her rookie status for another year or two.
Anyway, the candidates:
Billy T - Billy was impressive with his hockey sense, and defensive prowess. Not the biggest or fastest guy there, but he played very solidly on D, and showed some flashes of offensive potential (6 points - 1g, 5a) in 15 games.
Steve P - Had a rough first week, but then quickly became a top ten pick demonstrating surprising play making skills. Showed some defensive awareness too, although still has some work to do in this area. With a regular appearance next year, has a shot at cracking the top ten in scoring (20 points in 17 games this year - 6g, 14a).
Matt P - Provided energy, and instant offense - better than a point per game. 14 points in 11 games (5 g, 9a). If he put as much time into hockey as he does basketball he could one day be a top ten scorer.
Mike M - He might have the record as second oldest player, and he used some old-guy tactics to help his team (the Bob C bear hug was especially effective). Very good offensive numbers too (5g, 8a in 16g).
My picks:
1. Steve P
2. Matt P
3. Billy
4. Mike M
