Rookie of the year was tough. I suck with new names. Also the most underrated poster, I don't know how you guys rate our posters.

 

[DFC]

Most valuable poster (MVP) - The Macho Man (Brings the heat on the main boards too.)


Most popular poster - The Macho Man


Funniest poster - Crabby Williams (Would have been tight between him and Hose, but Hose wasn't as active.) HM: JoVel


Most insightful poster - Still All In --> The one guy more/less immune to the "hot take." HM: Macho, Sky04, a number of others.

Should post more - Still All In


The Crunch Effect - Werewolf/HosEmDown


Cory Murphy Chalice of Victory for Underratedness - Tie: JoVel/Rschmitz


Rookie of the Year - ???


Best avatar - As of right now, The Macho Man with his Stamkos/golf cart avatar.


Best name - Post Karl Malone


Biggest Optimist Prime - Fabio


Biggest Negatron - T-Rex, although a lot of his negativity turned out to be well-founded.

ADD: Every time somebody posts, I realize I forgot them and could/should have added them to one of these categories. So many guys + the one or two girls in here have given me a genuine laugh, or made me think about something a different way, or just flat-out proven my opinion wrong. :p

 

[T REX]

Wait, so I called it right all year and you want to give me some fake high school award about being negative though it was all TRUE.

Some people would call that INSIGHTFUL. I'm sorry so many buried their heads in the sand and plugged their ears...

Next year I'll come with rainbows and unicorns!

 

[God King Fudge]

I'd like everyone's posts, but I think I'm banned from doing that for a few more years.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Russianguyovich for everything.

 

[HoseEmDown]

I sucked this year, don't ever have kids if you haven't yet. I hope I don't get too many votes unless it's for biggest letdown.

 

[The Macho King]

I sucked this year, don't ever have kids if you haven't yet. I hope I don't get too many votes unless it's for biggest letdown.

That's a lie. Kids are awesome.

 

[DFC]

Russianguyovich for everything.

I always forget this guy. His ratio of posts:laughs for me is massive.

 

[HoseEmDown]

That's a lie. Kids are awesome.

Not if you you want to win most valuable poster.

 

[Steazy Doo]

I always forget this guy. His ratio of posts:laughs for me is massive.

Not to mention that Point shirt.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Not if you you want to win most valuable poster.

You'll rebound. You're too good not to.

 

[JoVel]

To be quite honest I gave kind of a reputation vote to Hose. Hasn't been as active with his truthful quality posts recently. Could've given it to Crabby too. But I'm sure Hose will bounce back as well.

And by the way, kids are not awesome.

[Stammertime91]

I still see nobody likes me. I've never won a Dundie or a Boardie.

 

[Hoek]

You don't want to be nominated after this season. Much like the players, it will be nothing but shame to win an award for what happened.

 

[Todd1a]

no cooper negative award ?

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Most valuable poster (MVP) - @TheDaysOf 04 for his GDT work. I get the @The Macho Man votes, but I don't think his posting style gets the MVP in a year we get swept.

Most popular poster - @HoseEmDown hands down

Funniest poster - @Crabby Williams

Most insightful poster - I feel like I want to nominate @DFC for this, but idk why.

Should post more - @RussianGuyovich for reasons already stated by others.

The Crunch Effect - @HoseEmDown

Cory Murphy Chalice of Victory for Underratedness - @Fabiobest for his distance fandom.

Rookie of the Year - I worked too much this year to even watch a full game much less notice new posters.

Best avatar - Voting Phobia Catalyst (can't @ him for some reason) for making the avatars as I can't remember whether there were any exceptional ones.
(The user with the best avatar.)

Best name - @Post Karl Malone I guess. I don't think there's a ton of competition in this category.

I'm abstaining from the last two. Is @geoo9 still around posting? I want to nominate him for something. Most Russian Russian.

 

[The Macho King]

Most valuable poster (MVP) - @TheDaysOf 04 for his GDT work. I get the @The Macho Man votes, but I don't think his posting style gets the MVP in a year we get swept.

Way to bring the postseason into what should be a REGULAR SEASON AWARD!

I'll get mine together later. Let it be known that I am ranking myself in the "should post more" section.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Best avatar - Voting Phobia Catalyst (can't @ him for some reason) for making the avatars as I can't remember whether there were any exceptional ones.
(The user with the best avatar.)

There is a reason for that. Username change

 

[DistantThunderRep]

If I can win an award, it will save the season for me.

Also Dom and Macho fight it out for everything.

EDIT: I feel like I might win an award on the Canes board.

 

[These Are The Days]

I still see nobody likes me. I've never won a Dundie or a Boardie.

You get my vote for underrated at least
