Yesterday the NHL announced that Bruins' rookie Phil Kessel won the Bill Masterton Trophy. I thought Kessel should win this trophy because of his fight with cancer during the season and his fast return to hockey and he played better in the second half of the season than the first half.

"The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the NHL player who 'best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game of hockey' by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. The Trophy was first presented by the PHWA in 1968 to commemorate the late William Masterton, a player for the Minnesota North Stars, who died on January 15, 1968 after sustaining an injury on the ice."
