VOTING OPEN - Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award

[hi]

My vote is for Jonathan Quick. This franchise hasn't brought in a winner and leader like Quick since Messier. It's not an easy task coming into this sad franchise and dragging your team full of spoiled limo babies to wins every time you step on to the ice.

On an unrelated note I'd like to officially request a recount of the votes from 2018-19 and 2019-20

Cousin Vinny. I have a feeling it'll be Panarin or Laf cus reasons when trocheck is the real vigga on that line

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I'd be happy with Tro, Vesey or Quick.

 

[eco's bones]

I like an Artemi who shoots the puck. He's a lot more of a threat. I'm not sure a lot of people are realizing what a difference that's made in his game and in the team's fortunes.....and it's benefitted Trocheck quite a lot....thought Vincent is doing a lot of the extras. I would say those two and Quick but I'm going to give the edge to Artemi.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Went with Jimmy Ve$ey

 

[CommaSynapse]

I went with Cuylle. He's brought a lot of hits and energy into the bottom-6, and I think he's been an under-the-radar part of why the bottom 6 has been a bit more of a threat on a nightly basis.

 

[Chytilmania]

I honestly thought this was an off the ice award.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Imo if the team was picking it, it would be Lindgren

 

[Row I Goon]

2 votes for “other”…..?

Ok - who voted for Mika? Own up to your tomfoolery

 

[bobbop]

I voted for Trocheck here and online.

Many worthy candidates but Trochek is the best choice this year.

 

[bhamill]

I'm surprised Lafreniere hasn't gotten many votes considering how far he's come this season.

I voted for Laf for the hard work and improvement.

 

[TominNC]

I went with Trochek as his season defines extra effort, but I can see Quick too.

 

[bernmeister]

Tro, w/Kreider barely over Quick for runner up

 

[yada]

I went vesey. No matter where he plays in the lineup he always contributes and doesnt complain. Appreciate his timely goals and fit.

 

[mike14]

Quick, Tro or Laf would all be a worthy recipient IMO.

 

[CasusBelli]

Went with Laffy. The guy has made me eat crow and then some. I never doubted Trocheck’s ability, and he’s always been a team player, so it was a matter of time for it all to come together. Quick was another interesting choice. Talk about surpassing expectations. At the start of the year I was missing Halak. And then …

 

[Larrybiv]

I gotta go Vinnie! As good as Panarin has been, Vinnie has been the heart, no loafing whatsoever, 2nd and 3rd efforts all over the place.
And yeah, way more than just an honorable mention, Quickie. Without the 15-5..... and say an average 2nd stringer with a 10-10. Well that's an extra 5 wins, 10 pts we wouldn't have. Amazing, date I say his glove seems to better than Shesty's.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Last year the board picked the wrong choice(though i think it's rigged), will we be right this year?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Trocheck is really the only correct answer.

Quick has surpassed expectations but he’s a back up goalie.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Trocheck is really the only correct answer.

Quick has surpassed expectations but he’s a back up goalie.

Talbot won in 2014 as the backup.

 

[GAGLine]

Talbot won in 2014 as the backup.

He played 36 games that year though, because of Hank's injury.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I bet the tally wasn’t even close this year
