On another note, Marty Turco was left off the list of nominees (yet again!), must have been a call that the referee's made? LOL! That's for you Dallas Fans! LOL!

You should know the only awards we get are Jere's Selke's! I think you're Vezina nominee is awesome...but he's about to lose his first playoff series! And then we start all over...I sure hope we get another crack at you guys next year!

I hope that we get a crack at these Crazy Canucks also next season...As I think we will just tear them apart...Roberto might be a good regular season goalie, but he is not made for playoffs..That being said, the Canucks will NEVER win a cup with him in the goal...On the other hand, MARTY showed that he is a great playoffs goalie, by shutting out the Canucks three times in one series..
