well, after screwing up the masterton (giving a nod to chelios over bergeron? really? oh he’s old, make sure he gets a trophy….) at least the candidates for the adams are correct. even if julien doesn’t get it, all 3 candidates are definitely deserving.

1) The whole Masterton trophy idea is a joke. Its become the ‘comeback player of the year’ award. Who ever comes back from the most horrific injury/illness is assured of winning.
2) Julien should/will win the Adams this time around.

I find sometimes it's easy to be myself

I give Claude alot of credit, but its a shame if this award goes to anyone other then Andy Murray. He took a young, un-expirienced, last-placed team in febuary, and made a run to 6th place in the most competitive division in the confrence.

Whatever it takes?
