Lady Byng Trophy

Don't worry guys, you can keep nominating your selections for the Masterton trophy (and no, we don't have real trophies to give out!). We'll keep these open for a week or so and then tally the results.

Today's award: Lady Byng trophy. Given to the player that demonstrates gentlemanly play and good sportsmanship. While that should apply to all of us, we'll base the standards on the way that we play. Techinically Cindy should be eligble for this too, but it's supposed to be "gentlemanly" play so that would disqualify her.

That said, my nominees:

Ron. While his shot is not gentle, he is among the most mild-mannered players in Saugus. His writing might be vicious at times, but that's not what this is based on.

Billy T. I'm not sure if it's a result of him still being relatively new, or he is just a laid back kind of guy, but Billy comes, plays, and is nice to all. Once he gets sick of certain players next year we shall see if that continues!

Mike W. Mike plays hard and gritty, but I can't think of a time when anyone has complained about him being cheap / dirty. Well, maybe Jared...but he complains about everything.

Chris Y. Let's face it. If Chris wanted to, he could destroy us all. Fortunately Chris is at the age where he doesn't need to show anyone up - he plays the game at his pace. Otherwise, Brendon might still be trying to dislodge from the boards.

My picks:
1. Ron
2. Chris
3. Billy T
4. Mike W

no one else even deserves a vote.

i love how johnny is starting off with the lesser awards before he gets to the much hotly debated awards

John said...

Brett, you've got to build up to it...next up will be Calder, then Selke, Vezina, Norris, and Hart.

Brett said...

oh good cause we were all wondering when you'd post your rankings. that puts my mind at ease

Brett said...

i wanna know what makes posting the stats so difficult so that it makes nick delay it for so long. i realize he's lazy but he can't find 2 minutes out of week to post the stats

Brett said...

maybe cause no one care about this site when we're not playing

John said...

Sorry Brendon, literally haven't had time. I'm starting a new position so I've been swamped at work, and with Jamie's shower this weekend I've been very busy at home too.

Don't worry though: it's coming. I've still got a lot to rant about with that!

Lady bing is definately Chris. And can we start a new thread remembering ken griffey jr?

John said...

I was not at work yesterday since I had to take Jamie for her doctor's appointment in Boston. Thus, no new content. Should be continuing the awards today though.
