Brian Boyle may be playing better than ever after being diagnosed with a leukemia that is likely never going away... He's my pick.

 

[Used As A Shield]

sharks nominating Thornton

 

[Empoleon8771]

Letang is the Penguins' nominee, he had neck surgery and had similar issues that caused Peyton Manning to retire. He has played in 73 of 76 games for the Penguins this year, he's approaching his first healthy season since 2010-2011.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Not Karlsson, eh?

That's surprising.

Isn't this award usually given to whoever deals with the most off-ice trauma?

They said it was Boro because he’s having the best season of his career while missing time with concussions

Interesting. You'd think losing an unborn child would be more of a hardship on a person.

I thought its about getting through tough injuries. However I would like to see teams give a reasoning for their nominations.

Player that best exemplifies persaverence, dedication, sportsmanship to the sport of hockey.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Brian should win it

 

[Unspecified]

Staal wins this!!

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

I'd probably give it to McDavid for persevering through Chiarelli's personnel moves

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Does anybody know what date the nominees had to be selected by?

It’s possible Karlsson lost his son after the deadline.

 

[The Burdened]

Staal or Boyle

Cancer versus death of child. Both bad yes. But i would rather have cancer over ever losing a child.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Pietrangelo for St. Louis, his infant son died this season. Same as Karlsson. But Boyle should at least be nominated too.

 

[Alicat]

David Backes should win it

Really with pietrangelo? What is in the water this year for hockey players and there families. 3 players lots kids to death in 1 season. Just unthinkable.

I like that Cullen gets nominated for being old.

It isn't exactly a contest of who's suffered the most. Boyle was diagnosed with cancer and battled through it, spread awareness and is playing a great season. Karlsson very recently had an absolutely horrible thing happen to him and will probably be in a very dark place for a long time. I don't mean that to sound negative at all towards Karlsson. No trophy is just going to better the situation.

Boyle is a great feel good story. Karlsson is a recent unbearably tragic story.

Sorry if I sound like a jerk, just my two cents
