Taro T Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I love this thread. I just have to keep reminding myself: a win is loss and a loss is a win. Are we going to have a Hart award equivalent for the Carrion League? Definitely. Mezsaros and Benoit are early candidates from the Sabres. Not sure who's stepping up on the other rosters, but they'll out themselves eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Current standings through games played 10/15. Team ----- GP - L - W - OT - PTS Edmonton 4 3 0 1 7 Buffalo 4 3 1 0 6 Florida 3 2 0 1 5 Carolina 3 2 0 1 5 Calgary 5 2 3 0 4 Winnipeg 3 2 1 0 4 Arizona 3 0 2 1 1 NY I 3 0 3 0 0 Arizona showing that early on they are having difficulty hanging w/ the league leaders. Edmonton vaults to the league lead w/ a commanding performance. They jumped all over the opening the Sabres left them the night before in Carolina. Nearly 1/2 the NHL is playing tonight, but only 2 CHL squads hit the ice. Greater NYC is the site for both tilts. The Isles have an excellent opportunity to FINALLY get on the board as the low swimming Snarks land on the Island. The Candy Canes will be playing a Rags squad that emphatically said they want IN 2 nights earlier against Garth's group. Rags could seal the deal and gain entry into the CHL if they can finally make the Canes suffer that 1st W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakish Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Definitely. Mezsaros and Benoit are early candidates from the Sabres.

X. Benedict Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) We have early leads on the Sulky Award.....(think Selke) the Carrion League's most incompetent defensive forward. Early leaders include Edmonton's Nail Yakupov and David Perron....both -5 after 4 games. The Oil writer on Hockeybuzz writes the early MVP favorite is Dallas Eakins. http://www.hockeybuz...Games/191/63101 I see Eakins and Nolan battling it out for the Jack Dammit coach of the year award.

LastPommerFan Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 The CHL's version of the Hart absolutely has to be the Leino, He pioneered the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CHL's version of the Hart absolutely has to be the Leino, He pioneered the position. How the #### do you pioneer something 30 years after the original? Seeing as this is a Sabres related board, I'd suggest it be named the Buddy in honor of Real 'Buddy' Cloutier. His arrival coincided w/ the start of a 10 year stretch of not getting past the 1st round in an era where over 3/4 of all teams made the playoffs.

dudacek Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Can we have a trophy for the rookie making the biggest contribution to the cause? It could be called the Kryukov-Heisten-Zagrapan-Cooper-Savage Memorial Trophy — or the Titanic for short. (I thought the Dudacek was a tad too self-serving.)

It's a shame that Nabakov is no longer on the Island. He'd've been a lock for the goaltending one and possibly the Buddy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) The goalie one can be called the "Whoever-is-backing-up-Miller-or-Hasek-this-year" or we could shorten it to the "Lindy's Graveyard Memorial."

In the same way Rocket Richard pioneered the position of Goal Scoring Winger 30 years after the league formed. Take something that already exists and be way better than anyone has ever been. That's Leino. The best commander $27M can buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
