The Rory Fitzpatrick All Star Defence Trophy

I was going to say something about skating backwards, but I completely forgot it. And now the finalists.

Justin Schultz



Craig MacTavish still swore this season that the former snag from Anaheim has Norris potential. I can only hope some reporter gave him the phantom jerk motion

Andrew MacDonald



Luca Sbisa



He can't shoot. He can't skate. He doesn't hit much. The only time he looks decent is when the Sedins are on the ice.

I stuck to my guns even though the obvious winner totally deserves to win. No worries, he's getting my vote next year.

I am kinda curious what the result would have been if this had been done prior to the draft though.

The Dale Hunter Award of General Niceness

The following players are beloved by fans who pine for the 70s/80s when open ice hits were frequent, and drilling people in the head was fair game. I hope they all fall off a cliff.

Zac Rinaldo



A quote from Rinaldo, "I changed the whole game, man. Who knows what woulda happened if I didn't do what I did?" Dude relishes in hurting people, and convinces himself it make him useful.

Slava Voynov



It's one thing to headhunt on the ice, but to be charged with domestic violence makes Carcillo look like Selanne.

Ryan Garbutt



While he hasn't bragged to the media about crippling someone, he still got poo poo for taking out Dustin Penner and others.

The Jay Feaster is Fat Trophy

We've lambasted incompetent coaches, defensively irresponsible players, and worthless shitheads. Let's not forget about the bastards that signed them. The finalists are...

Jim Benning



According to this guy, Alex Burrows' greatest asset is his character. Probably signed Ryan Miller because he heard he shows up early for practice.

Don Sweeney



A latecomer in this year's awards, but proved his worth demonstrating how fast he can soak a franchise in gasoline and light it on fire.

Dave Nonis



A mainstay in the bad GM racket. He's got the veteran experience to show up in this category over and over again.

DOOMocrat

Nonis was bad enough to actually get fired by the Maple Leafs, but I have a feeling this is gonna be a down the line fanbase vote.

Hey, Sweeney did well with the Lucic trades for sure.


He also traded away a 22 (?) year old franchise defenseman for peanuts and picked way off board for the two 1st round picks he got. Also, Zac Rinaldo because the Bruins weren't at their "complete shithead" level wtih Lucic gone.

And here we are. The worst of the worst. I think we all agree these players should go away forever. Here are your finalists.

Dion Phaneuf



Ever since being traded to the Leafs, Phaneuf has had two official titles: Captain, and GOAT. Until he gets traded or bought out, that isn't going to change.

Andrew MacDonald



Andrew MacDonald is Alexei Emelin painted orange.

Luca Sbisa



Remember when he was on the ice for nearly every goal against the Flames scored in the playoffs? Good times.

Kari Lehtonen

I am not sure how Lehtonen beats Smith, so I am now really angry about these internet awards.

I kind of hated him after watching him on TV for most of the season, but once I saw him play in person I was convinced. He's the worst ever. EVER.

Everyone knew Mike Smith was bad. Everyone expected Kari Lehtonen to rebound this year and carry a lovely Dallas D into the playoffs. Instead he played worse than Mike Smith, got injured, came back, played worse than Mike Smith again, cost Dallas a playoff spot.

Kari let in like 20 goals with under five minutes remaining this year, and didn't win a home OT game until January. I'm convinced he was still suffering from the Haula concussion.
