So there's a new criteria which im hoping would be clarified here in this post. (in a nice and respectful way please)  so maybe no ones scratching there heads in the future and we dont have to have this discussion for the next time around. ya know?

Kimmy... Kata is a friend, but im also his GM and id make a clarification post for any of my players...i would hope that your GM's now or in the future do the same for you if they felt an answer was helpful/needed.


If there is a advanced stats comparison available ... that would be helpful and maybe help move along this inquiry   

I think a big issue that they're pointing out is like duff said. It simply takes the wind out of the winners sail. I'm not here to defend my player winning or if they were deserving of the award or not because there are a lot of great goalies who could have won this and it could have 100% went a different way. However, I think making a public post complaining about the methodology while also shitting all over the winner because you feel your own team's player performed better is unfair to the winner of the award. Simply go to the awards committee and ask them their methodology behind why they chose Booth over Vilde and see if they can provide stats instead of making a giant deal out of it on the forums where the winner can see and feel deflated because immediately after a win it's brought into question. I'm sure the awards committee would be more than happy to answer all of these questions had you PMed them.

Hi Danga, As a seperate piece away from the discussion topic.. if you feel the timing was bad then yeah i am sorry to you guys in LAP and Booth.. and perhaps i should have waited a week before posting this.. in the past weve had tons of immediate posts about award winners.. no ones ever had a real issue with the timing of those debate topics before.. and you get the most of out a discussion when its on peoples minds..but yeah for the next time i will definitley be more cognizant of the timing of these. My Bad.

But the topic and it's clarification is still something that should be addressed.
