The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Jagr? What did he have to do to get back to the league? Decide to get off his butt and stop collecting tax-free KHL checks for playing half-hearted hockey? And I guess Boychuk had to get over the idea that he broke another player's back...what a trooper.

KamikazeWatermelon Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Congrats Manny! It would be so great if he were to win the award. He deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 no surprise here Manny was the obvious choice, no despect to everything Raymond has over come Glad to see Pacioretty nominated by the Habs, he truly deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etsen3 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ever since Ian Laperriere won last year for similar cicumstances to Manny's, I was thinking maybe Manny would have a chance at the Masterton Award for this year. Just shows he has heart and dedication to the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels22 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Sami Salo was my guess when the year started. Bigger part of the team than Manny is, has played longer, has played longer with this team, equally devastating injury last year, equally a leader by example... Oh well, Good for Manny too...

Spectacular Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think Fleishmann might take it. He was told he may never play hockey again after the docs told him he had I few blood clots in his lungs. Instead, the soldier powers through a life threatening issue because of his love for playing hockey. "[Hockey] was the only thing I was good at... When they tell you you can not do that, you wonder 'what am I going to do with my life?'" Fleischmann said. "I'm happy to play hockey again. I always hoped that I could play again... Even if I was playing hockey, I would still have to take [the blood thinners]." The man deserves HUGE props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Raymond21 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Manny's nomination was well,well deserved. Manny never gave up his fight to contribute to the Canucks last year despite surgeries and not being able to play until the last round. Number 27 clearly has the Heart of a Canuck. What a shame that Raymond's road to recovery may be swept under with Manny's nomination. Both were equally deserving. On Boychuk being nominated: Someone please tell me, what were his struggles? What did he persevere through? Finally getting the guts to text Mason Raymond "he's sorry" for a near life threatening injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick-in-Rink Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I still get goosebumps thinking of Game 2 in the SCF when everyone erupted in cheers as Manny got on the ice screaming, "MANNY, MANNY!" for his whole shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehamburglar Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think Raymond's injury is pretty comparable. Breaking your back is a pretty serious thing. It could have afftected his ability to walk, let alone play hockey. People shouldn't underestimate how much work and determination Raymond has put in to ge back to where he is now.

Hotdawg Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm throwing in Ryan Kesler after his Hip operation, Alex edler for his thunderous bodychecks after his back op, but my vote for sure goes to Mason Raymond for his comeback from a broken back. Sorry Manny, but your 4th on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
