Over at Defector, Barry Petchesky has a review of the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award.
The backstory to this award is that in 2006 someone in the NHL wondered, Wouldn’t it be fun if we created a Mark Messier award, with the winners chosen by Mark Messier? Seventeen seasons later, we have our answer: No, it wouldn’t.
True, but it is fun to mock this goofy award.
