Each year the NHL awards the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to the sport of hockey. The award is named after Bill Masterton, who died from an injury he suffered during a game and is the only player in NHL history to die as a direct result of an on-ice incident during a game.
The Flyers Ian Laperriere was announced as a finalist for the Bill Masterton Award. He was award the nomination as well as Ray Emery, who returned to net this season after a potential career ending hip injury, and Daymond Langkow who missed a year due to a spinal cord injury after being hit with a shot by his on player in the 2009-10 season.
Every Flyers fan knows about what Lappy gave to the team on and off the ice. Lets hope this one goes out to a guy who gave his all, even when he had nothing left to give.
Predictions:
Hart - Perry
Vezina - Rinne
Selke - Kesler
Adams - Trotz
Calder - Grabner
Byng - St. Louis
