The It’s Not You It’s Me Award goes to Christian Dvorak who doesn’t suck but the teams he plays for do. It’s not you, Christian. It’s not you. I just thought it would be different and I need to work on myself.

The Best Trade Chip of the year : Ben Chiarot, for getting such a great return at the deadline despite having the Worst. Advanced. Stats. Ever. This was the first time I’ve ever seen Toronto Media actually caution Toronto management about trading for him. And what a difference that made.

Attaboy Ben! Way to work buddy! Way to get those draft picks! Way to earn that B Level Prospect. WOOO! YEAH!

Shooting Is The Only Play Award : This is a tie between Big Ben, Angry Jeff, and Alexander the Great. They shot it lots. Not effectively, but lots.

Scrappy Underdog Of The Year : Carey Price’s knee. I’m not sure when that knee took an arrow to it, but enough already. It’s not supposed to end this way for the greatest goalie in Habs history.

Scrappy Underdog Of The Year Honorable Mention : Dominique Ducharme. That guy could take loss after loss after loss and not give an inch. Not one! You’ve gotta admire the strength of those convictions. Stay strong, Dom. Stay strong.
