[qwertyaas]

Rangers should trade him now while his value is high.

Please.

They never release the vote tally

I hear a rumor that Rempe lost by one vote

It is weird that all the other awards are decided by a committee of some sort (the NHLPA, the PHWA, etc), but this one is just “Here’s an award for being Messier’s favorite player.”

 

[Bowski]

Congrats! Much deserved.

 

[broc]

oh crap I thought it was the flying elbow award

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

WOW! THE Mark Messier trophy, The most prestigious trophy that nobody give 2 shits for a f*** about and totally wasn't made up to stroke his gigantic f***ing ego more.


Who won the Tom Barrasso Award for biggest asshole his own teammates hated?

 

[Miller Time]

The NHL is the most embarrassing pro sports league around.

DeAngelo, nine years running.

 

[hamzarocks]

Mark Messier/Mr Clean/Johnny Sins gets the job done

 

[JoeSakic13]

Nuke got snubbed

 

[Rafafouille]

When I become emperor of the known universe, one of my first acts will be to rename this trophy to the Mark Messier Shameless Self-Promotion Award

Petition to rename it the PK Subban instead?

The thread I was waiting for

Incredible this must have made so many internet hockey fans heads explode.

Part of the worst pair on a stacked team - better give him some hardware!

Devils fans just the idea hockey isnt a simulation eh. Tough thing to not acknowledge considering its a CONTACT sport.

....what?

Is this an ESL thing or am I just totally missing whatever it is you're trying to say.

 

[Bizz]

This is like giving an award for good sportsmanship to Mark Stone.

Making fun of Trouba makes someone head explode?

He won a meaningless award knows or cares about. Kudos to him.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Trouba will do anything for his team and community, including diving head first into the glass!

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Hahaha this league is so f***ing dumb.

 

[12ozPapa]

Kind of shocked anyone even cares about this award? Or really any of them?

Wait what? Does Messier himself decide who gets this award? Makes no sense.

 

[jetsforever]

Bit surprising but cool to see him get it

Hahahahahahahaha

That’s genuinely hilarious. Messier randomly picks a guy lol.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

is the trophy a silver elbow?

 

[Realgud]

they should have a fighter of the year award, call it the Tie Domi Award or something

Rempe would win this year

Why stop there? You could have the "most improved bust" so Laf can get a trophy too! Call it the Juraj Slafkovsky Memorial Trophy.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

It's the one trophy that every fan base everywhere in the NHL can universally get behind and go lol who the f*** cares.

I'm genuinely more interested in every years cy young NHL winner. Biggest discrepancy between goals and assists. Much more entertaining a thought experiment when Brandon Pirri is the answer.
