Heisman winner 'Johnny Football' to box influencer
- Winner: Henrik Lundqvist
Players’ Player Award
- Winner: Chris Drury
- The award is given out to the player who “best exemplifies what it means to be a teammate.
The John Halligan Good Guy Award
- Winners: Erik Christensen and Vinny Prospal
- This award is voted on by the Rangers’ media.
- It recognizes players’ cooperation with the media. Or whoever gives the best interviews.
The Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award
- Winner: Ryan Callahan
- This award is voted on by the fans.
- It recognizes a player who “performs above and beyond the call of duty.”
Thoughts: These awards are all pretty straightforward and expected. I think the only one that wouldn’t have been an easy guess is the John Halligan award. Although I think we all knew that Sean Avery or head coach John Tortorella wouldn’t have gotten this one.
These have been some of the good guys on a team that, until recently, often lacked visible heart. I think only Brandon Dubinsky and Marc Staal are missing some recognition. Although both will have long careers and I’m sure they’ll be honored plenty during that career.
