Yeah, it's just a hockey award for the player who demonstrates the highest level of sportsmanship while also demonstrating a high level of play.

If I ever won an award like that...I'm pretty sure I'd slash some across the head Marty McSorley style and try to instigate a bench clearing brawl in the very next game I played.

The Buffalo Sabres of the Mid to late 90's were one of my all-time favorite Sports teams. They had about five of the biggest goons around. Rob Ray, Brad May, Matt Barnaby, Bob Boughner, and Wayne Premeaux. They were assembled by a drunken Indian named Ted Nolan who won Coach of the Year in 1997 and not only got fired, but was basically blackballed after the very season in which he won Coach of the Year.

That was such a dirty, gritty, nasty, cheap-shotting, goon squad of a tough team. I had both a Rob Ray and Matt Barnaby Jersey. Would wear Buffalo Sabres gear everywhere. They were the most badass sports team in the history of modern sports.
