As I’m attempting to remain unbiased in my evaluation..I believe without eye popping, jaw dropping numbers . Right from the start Anaheim Left Wing Ethan “Edgy”Price @Zomp and his strong numbers and 41 PIMs, and Colorado Left Wing Sven “Never saw a shot he didn’t take”Svenson @LordBirdman are going to be hard pressed to be considered.. They’re both terrific players having great seasons this year ..But, without the corresponding level of Team success they fall to the nominated only category .
This leaves the trio of Anchorage Right Wing Chris de Siren @“Chrisda19”, Carolina Centerman Linus Grimstad,@TurdFerguson and the odds on favorite Newfoundland Centerman Mats Marner @leafsftw1967 . And as much as I’d love to make a strong case for either de Siren and his submachine gun shooting numbers OR for Grimstad and the nicely balanced stats he sports ...It’s gonna be Marner ..it’s a forgone conclusion... it basicly has become his award to lose...When one of every five times you put the puck on net you score..(23 goals on a 114 shots for a SH% of a REDUNKULOUS 20.18%).
Combine that with The Berserkers dominate record.(28-5-4. 60pts)...give the man his trophy and close the show.


Now as a Goalie I’m actually leaning for one of the Masked faternity to make a Darkhorse run and steal the damn MVP...my choice ...I want to say Phil Weaver @W19eaver but that’ll wait till next season....So my S55 Darkhorse choice i’ll go with Cale Amundsen @“Wally”
