From the beaches of Sunny Florida, Brad Richards would like to thank the Acadamy. He enjoyed his year in Chicago and looks forward to another great season in his new home.

I forgot to vote for like 3 awards. Congrats to all the winners. After losing out in a tough vote last year good to see Goffie get the Fletcher this year.

Congrats to Goffie. I guess out of all the awards the one we'd all like to win most is best GM. With all the injuries in Pittsburgh the Pens still represented a very very tough conference in the finals. Great work by the GM, or was it all Lindy Ruff?

[HalifaxDrunk]

Thanks for the D'arcy McGrath Award! It actually means alot to me. I really enjoy making some of my posts and this makes it even easier.

Congrats to all the winners! Especially Goffie and HD for winning the Best GM and Best Poster respectfully. Goffie's done a great job in Pittsburgh and deserves the credit, and HD's posts are always worth the read. Two great guys to have in the league!
