The thread I was waiting for

 

[Machinehead]

Not surprising.

A bad player, and highly controversial, but according to the parameters of the award, not surprising.

He does a lot of work in the community and is loved by his teammates.

 

[Jacob]

Does Messier pay to sponsor this award like Bud Light? I don’t get it.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

When I become emperor of the known universe, one of my first acts will be to rename this trophy to the Mark Messier Shameless Self-Promotion Award

 

[Killer Orcas]

Strange someone can be acknowledged as such a fine individual off the ice yet be such a disgrace on it. Ironic his wife is a Dr is he looking to get here clients with all his dirty head shots?

 

[tabness]

the fact that a player like Trouba gets so much controversy shows how soft hockey is now

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Great choice! Guy does so much for the community and is loved by his teammates.

Next best thing next to the Norris!

 

[Satan]

he deserves it, i cant think of a better ranger player to receive this prestigious award

Messier awards the award to the dirty scumbag captain of his favorite team.

Nope. No bias here. The award isn't a total joke, no siree.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Is the trophy an elbow?

 

[Legion34]

People forget how fond of elbows mess was. He was a pretty dirty player.

 

[NVious]

Just a great example for everyone, after he finished winning all those Byngs, he is now winning the Mess! I even elbowed a kid in the head today and his mom smirked at me "You Trouba fans are something else!"

 

[TheNumber4]

Let’s go Captain Headshot. Leading his team one elbow to the head at a time. A special player with special leadership skills so special the League allows him to target heads.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Part of the worst pair on a stacked team - better give him some hardware!

 

[pld459666]

Awesome. Great recognition for an upstanding player on the ice as well as a better human being off the ice.

Plays the game honest and fair.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving player/person.

Way to go Trouba.

He's the first Ranger to ever win it...

I can’t think of a more fitting guy to give Trouba an award than Mark Messier.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Trouba will do anything for his team and community, including diving head first into the glass!

You start when you feel like!

 

[WarriorofTime]

Was that like the "troll" option? Lol, why Trouba?

 

[Machinehead]

You can't think of any Ranger to receive this award in 16 years.

 

[Shocker]

He does have some Messier quality leadership, so it does make sense.
