Any chance Anderson doesn't win this?

No chance.

This award is easier to predict than the Art Ross.

Really cool seeing Derek Ryan's name there. He played at the university of Alberta golden bears. Last year was his rookie season and it's quiet a story.

Didn't know his story. Thanks for sharing.

Cogliano has the current iron man streak I believe and has played through some injuries. Both he and Ryan deserve to be nominated. With that said, it should be a lock that Anderson will win. That game he came back and shutout the Oilers, it was a great moment seeing him get a standing ovation in Edmonton and Cam Talbot clapping for him in the tunnel during the 3 star ceremony.

Awesome to see Derek Ryan there. He's such an underrated hockey player, I'd love to see him on the Flames one day.

Anderson should absolutely win, though.

How the hell was Bryan Bickell not nominated?

How was Derek Ryan Carolina's nominee over Bickell.

Agreed. Cogliano is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

I've wanted him on the Flames forever. His speed and defensive acumen makes him an elite bottom sixer, and he can chip in with offense.

I think Cogliano has a shot.

Think about it. Dubnyk won the award for overcoming being an Oiler, beating out Letang who had a freaking stroke!

Cogliano could win it for that same reason (albeit delayed recognition)

His wife has cancer.

Here's the description of the award:The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey

While I have sympathy for Anderson, I think this award would be better served by being an award for actual accomplishments on the ice after overcoming adversity, or awarded more often to the players that show sportsmanship and dedication on the ice.

Its almost completely been devolved at this point to "What's the biggest tragedy a player went through?".

And I believe the NHL should encourage sympathy and share these stories, but a trophy is not really the right way to go about it IMO.

The Masterson nominations were made a month ago.. before it was known that Bickell would return for a couple games.
