Last night the Philadelphia Flyers played their 41st game of the 2013-2014 season. They are now halfway through the season and sit third in the Metropolitan Division at 20-15-6. Like most writers and pundits, I could not resist making mid-season picks for the Flyers team awards. So, if the season ended right now, who would win the team awards? The Flyers team awards are as follows:
The Bobby Clarke Trophy – Team MVP
The Barry Ashbee Trophy – Outstanding Defenseman
Pelle Lindbergh Memorial Trophy – Most Improved Player
Yanick Dupre Class Guy Memorial Award – Character/Dignity Off the Ice
Gene Hart Memorial Award – Player Who the Most Demonstrates Heart
For a little bit of added fun, I will add the following “awards” and predictions:
Biggest disappointment thus far
Player most poised to have a great 2nd half
One bold prediction for 2014
