2014 Brandon Bochenski Trophy - Nominees

[pepty]

I tried finding 2012 and 2013 but came up with nothing, but I swear we had the discussions...

In 2012 there was the lockout so no training camp to speak of and no Bochenski award.
Here is the discussion:

I nominate Colin Greening because he played games and soon enough he won't be playing any

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Pageau. Guy was excellent in every game.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Hoffman.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Pageau. Guy was excellent in every game.

So much this

I am very surprised there are so many hoffman votes...I thought he was ok but man does he need to make better decisions...

 

[UnHappyDude]

Doenst the Bochenski award also have a criteria that "their play in the preseason must be unbelievably super than that in the regular season".

I voted Hoffman, but I say no Bo this year.

 

[sensR4real]

I can't believe Denis Hamel is not on that list!

Alright it's that time of year:
Please nominate your choices for the Brandon Bochenski Trophy... polling will close 3pm on Oct 9, at which point the top 3 finalists will then be voted on.

Remember the original intent was as follows:

Poll closing in 24h and then we move on to the finalist vote!
And though we name it after Bochenski, knowing now with hindsight how things turned out..

This truly is an award for preseason excellence - without thought on what may happen after the preseason.

 

[pepty]

Looks like we have a clear winner.

 

[Caeldan]

Oops. I got busy and forgot to start the finalist poll.
I suppose though not much reason to since Hoffman got over 50% of the votes

 

[MainDotC]

Well thats it-no one knew he was going to be a fluke at the time-he was actually pretty good for his first few regular season games too.

So this is for pre season excellence and then we wait to see what happens.

Mucks knew he was a fluke.

In retrospect maybe Legwand deserves a few votes too...
