2011 NHL Awards: Ian Laperriere Takes Home Masterton Trophy

by Travis Hughes on Jun 22, 2011 10:13 PM EDT in Philadelphia Flyers News

For the first time since I can remember, a member of the Philadelphia Flyers is the winner of a major NHL award. He might not have played a game all season, but Ian Laperriere was rewarded for his courage in the 2010 playoffs, winning the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for dedication and perseverance.

He beat out Ray Emery, who would've been a perfectly worthy winner himself, and our other old friend Daymond Langkow, who returned from a horrifying back injury this year. Congrats Lappy. We love you and stuff. /sheds tear

Oh and why didn’t Grabner win the Calder … if he amassed 3497 points?

As soon as I saw Luc Robitaille was presenting the award I knew Lappy was going to win. The league did that intentionally.

Richards tweeted in support of Corey Perry before Lappy

Yeah – let’s trade him! Brilliant. His value couldn’t be higher …. mostly because his value couldn’t be higher! (Stupid idea, y’all.)

I was just about to point out that Carle is 8 times better than Meszaros.

by Eric T. on Jun 22, 2011 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions

But only 1/92 as good as Lidstrom!

I don’t understand the lack of love for Carle.

I do understand that you might need to trade him if you are signing a goalie for 8 or 9 million a year.

Ian did well on the speech

But one of his teammates is apparently “Chris Pryor.”

Or is there really someone named that who helped Ian?

Indeed. Although just about any of the top 3’s I don’t have a problem with as a group.

But I’ve watched Trotz’s teams for a number of years, and he is really a genius who could win any year.

Hey, remember when NHL.com had Paul Holmgren as GM of the year at the quarter pole? And when they had him as GM of the year at the three-quarter pole?

Good times.

If Bryz gets $7M, he’ll get the GM of the year award at the NHL Agents Gala.

He got his nose fixed!

Lappy is God. Instant Flyers legend. Who, on our current team, is our Laperriere? our Glen Metropolit? or, to a lesser extent, our Arron Asham? Where’s our guy with both a brain and some balls? Hartnell? Uhhh… Betts? I don’t think so.

Spagett.

by WhiskeyDrinker on Jun 23, 2011 3:59 AM EDT reply actions

Like every single team has a Lappy? Come on, not even close. Whats your argument here? You asked who on our current team is our Lappy, Metro(??), Asham? Asham did nothing last year, couldn’t even get to 50 games played. And Metro wasn’t even able to stay in the NHL, I think he went to Swissland? Then you mention Betts, without adding Powe? I would say Powe is the closest to what you’re asking: great skater, blocks shots, likes to hit, and a very solid penalty killer. Sounds like a lappy in the making to me….
