I see no reason to pay tribute to the founders of the game anymore. While we're at it let's change the name of the Stanley Cup to Super Cup.

We should also add trophies for division winners while we're at it.

Central: Beer Cup
Northwest: Coffee Cup
Pacific: Sippy Cup
Atlantic: Athletic Cup
Northeast: Solo Cup
Southeast: Dixie Cup

My suggestion is to let the media continue to nominate the candidatesn for the awards involving votes. But, leave the final voting for the overall winner to the players who have been previously nominated. This is one way you could protect the integrity of the process. The players would not allow it to become merely a popularity contest.

NO

Leave some Traditional things in the game.

Also don't give Bettman ideas, he'll name an award after himself.

longtime Maple Leafs owner Conn Smythe


Yeah, because that's all he was. If things had gone a bit different in October 1917 there would have been no Maple Leafs.

Don't care what they're called, would prefer they just handed out the trophies based on the actual criteria as defined, rather than the perceived and unwritten criteria they have now.

keep them the way they are, dont change names, any new awards that they want to create should be more recent and players

This!

On another note, these threads are whacktastic. We're down to the last leg of playoff race and we're talking about awards already?

This was clever, I liked it.

I'd advocate the Pacific to be: Double D Cup, you know with Hollywood and fake boobies and all.

That sounds to similar to the Spengler Cup, how about the Ultimate Extreme Mega Elite PWNAGE CUP

As long as it's sponsored by Budweiser I'll be happy.

Renaming the awards is the most dumbest thing you have ever posted here... and that says alot! The beauty of the game is it's long rich history and all you want to do is erase it? Changing the Calder cup to the Teemu Selanne cup?? What happens when somebody beats his record... gonna rename it again?... and again?? You are as mistaken about this as you are that you think this is a news worthy site to read. Shut this site down until the playoffs are over....
