Thanks for the heads up. This award screams Ryan Miller.

While Miller is a deserving winner of the Messier award, for some reason I cannot get the "Monty Burns award for oustanding achievement in the field of excellence" song from The Simpsons out of my mind.

Right after they hand out this award he will then hand out the Messier determination award sponsored by Mohegan Sun, followed by the Messier Git'r Dun award sponsored by Skoal. If they pay him enough, he'll put his name on any award.

 

Coming soon, the Messier Massengill Award. It's given to the biggest a-hole in the playoffs.

That is the Preperation-H Award. The Massengill Award goes to the biggest pu$$y in the NHL.

Wow! So Sean Avery will get an award then?!

Hey Jack, maybe you can make a fake version of this trophy and bring it in for the playoffs. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

edit: Wait a second, a leadership award and they nominated a player who has been suspended twice this season? What a farce. They'll even turn some crappy new award into a publicity stunt.
