I know I’m not alone in not caring much for the Lady Byng. Just the name itself makes me go, ‘Blah.’

Gentlemanly conduct should be left on the golf course during some overplayed major where their top star is a total fraud. Translation: This is H-O-C-K-E-Y!!!!!

Not for the feint of heart. We love our gritty players who will go that extra few inches into the corners and muck it up coming out with the puck during this time of year. It’s the team that’s willing to win those physical battles which will come out with the most prestigious trophy in all of sports. Lord Stanley.

So what if Pavel Datsyuk, Martin St. Louis and Jason Pominville got nominated for the Byng. Nobody really cares.

I don’t think Mr. Datsyuk wants to be remembered for being nicest player on and off the ice. Especially with his team still in the mix for the Cup.

Maybe I’m being a bit mean but this award does nothing for me. And with that, I’ve spoken my piece.

Onto what really matters with the Conference Semis finally underway in Montreal!
