D-Money Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You're such a troll. If Apollo were on a Flames/Oilers/Leafs/etc. board, yes, he'd be a troll. But here on CDC, he's just chillin' under his own bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 As A role model on how to conduct oneself professionally and to use your standing as a pro athlete to contribute to the community, he should win. As an ambassador for the game and example for youth of how to conduct oneself in public when faced with adversity (Benn/Seguin) he should win. For showing good sportsmanship on-ice throughout his career, he should win. Will he...not likely. Not a sexy enough choice. Dib...are you sure neither of the Sedins aren't sexy enough of a choice?

DIBdaQUIB Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Dib...are you sure neither of the Sedins aren't sexy enough of a choice? After seeing that...yeah, I'm pretty sure. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 He's the perfect choice for the canucks but He won't win it. I think Luongo has a good chance of winning, after the mess in Vancouver that he had escaped from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateless Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 If Apollo were on a Flames/Oilers/Leafs/etc. board, yes, he'd be a troll. But here on CDC, he's just chillin' under his own bridge. He's a troll to rational conversation. There's nothing wrong with cheering for you team or even being biased towards them. But to disrespect every other player in the league (many of whom have gone through MUCH more hardship and adversity than Henrik) and brush them all off is trolling. Apollo continually blows past the line of team bias and never brings a single rational, intelligent comment to these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I suspect there are players on other teams that have come back from injuries or other issues that will likely win (not sure if there is an obvious candidate this year though) but a nice recognition for Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Uhhhh pretty sure Letang has basically already won the award. You know after having a stroke last year and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Each team submits a nominee so it's not always about who came back from the worst injury or personal tragedy but its pretty much become that. Torts was right about one thing: the Sedins take a lot of crap that they frankly don't deserve. They're the oldest players in the top 20 in league scoring and they still don't get enough respect, especially from people in Vancouver (and I'm not just talking about people on CDC).

GB5 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Interesting article on other possible league wide nominees located here; http://thehockeywriters.com/top-10-candidates-to-win-the-2015-masterton-memorial-trophy/ Hard to pick as there are several good candidates throughout the NHL but Henrik is deserving of the nod from the Canucks POV.

Fateless Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You know nothing. Hockey or anything related. Can you even cross the street safely? That's the best retort you can up with? "No, you're stupid!"? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised this is what CDC has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we love him for it. He definitely deserves the award before he retires. He's also deserving (or Daniel) of a Lady Byng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I nominate Apollo for the "Canuck Homer" CDC Masterton trophy, for his perseverance and leadership in giving your team undying support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It's the "classiest" award. Hank is our 1C, takes minimal penalties, rarely gets injured and plays top lines.Definitely worth our pick. Doubt he would beat out other guys. But based on our team I'd have no other guy represent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Henrik rarely gets the credit he deserves. But looking at the winners over several years and why they won I'd have to say Henrik doesn't have a chance of winning it. https://www.google.com/search?q=bill+masterson&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
