Personally, I would have preferred that "the Rico" would have been awarded to the Sabre who led the team in goals for the season - akin the "the Rocket" award at the league level. After all, Martin still ranks number 11 in all time goals per game.

You can’t troll Ralph - the guy walked away with like $12M.
Do people really think he hates Skinner just because he sat him for three games? So silly. I’m sure Ralph wants the best for Skinner...it’s not like the new coach is giving him many more shifts per game.
To give a team “rocket” award to someone who scores under 20 goals would look really bad, it seems like a participation trophy. Embarrassing for such a low-scoring team to do that.
Plus, a focus on just individual goal scoring is exactly what this team is trying to get away from.
Despite the cynical, cheap shot, derogatory, smart ass, sarcastic and yes, humorous responses that characterize most of the responses above, I'm glad that Martin is being recognized.

Even though it's not an award for goals, I'm glad to see the recognition.
- At 0.561 goals per game, he's ahead of players like Phil Esposito, Marcel Dionne, Rocket Richard, Steven Stamkos, Guy Lafleur, Pat Lafontaine, and Eric Lindros.
- BTW, he happens to be number 48 all time in points per game at 1.023
- Personally, I think he deserves to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame with those numbers.
Anyways, it's not that I don't understand the cynicism or that it's not deserved. Just wish in this case it did not come at the expense of an all time great Buffalo Sabre.
If I was voting seriously I’d vote for Reinhart because he’s really good and still under appreciated by fans and management.
but I’m voting for Ristolainen because he stinks and it never changes.[/QUOT
Maybe a chance to give Jack the benefit of the doubt playing thru injury with using it like Rick did.. Seeing Casey and Cozens. I can't imagine how dominate and skilled we could be .. Alot like 75.. I'd givw Sam the Robert award for possibly being a key cog the was under appreciated.
