MOST IMPROVED PLAYER: Awarded to the man who did not do much for
fantasy owners but reached his potential and blew up like
gangbusters this season.

Rick Nash, Columbus Blue Jackets: If you had plenty of
defensive-minded players on your fantasy roster to offset Nash's
horrendous plus-minus, he was a superhero for you.  He shared
the league lead in goals with Jarome Iginla and Ilya Kovalchuk
and led everybody with 19 power-play tallies.

Mike Ribeiro, Montreal Canadiens: After registering just 35
points over the previous two seasons, this fan favorite and
primo playmaker put up a 65-point effort.

Nils Ekman, San Jose Sharks: Ekman is another player Rangers
general manager Glen Sather missed the boat on.  Projected as a
third- or fourth-line guy, all Ekman did was pile up 55 points
and a plus-30 rating with San Jose.

David Aebischer, Colorado Avalanche: Who needs Patrick Roy?
This Swiss backstop stood on his head, just like Patty used to,
and gave fantasy owners Roy-like numbers (32 wins, 2.09 GAA,
.924 save percentage).  His days as a backup have been forever
erased.



MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Given to the player who was the best
player in fantasy hockey this season.

Ilya Kovalchuk, Atlanta Thrashers: He played a little more
defense and was rewarded with a little more ice time, then tied
for first in goals, tied for second in points, first in shots on
goal and tied for third in power-play goals.

Robert Lang, Detroit Red Wings: Lang was in the top three in
scoring virtually all season long, never having one slump.  He
finished with 79 points in 69 games and probably could have won
the scoring title if he did not get hurt.

Cory Stillman, Tampa Bay Lightning: No offseason acquisition
gave an NHL team more bang for its buck than Stillman, who
surprised fantasy owners by amassing 80 points - the one player
in the top 10 in scoring who probably was not expected to be
there.

Martin St. Louis, Lightning: This slippery sniper led the NHL
with 94 points and eight shorthanded goals, and he shared the
lead in assists and plus-minus.  The miniature menace also
played every game.


Ich hätte gerne alles auf einmal gepostet,aber geht aufgrund der länge nicht.So wer sind eure Favoriten auf die trophäen?

JASON ALLISON AWARD: Given to the player whose injury or
injuries cost fantasy owners the most this season.  This award,
which has been bestowed upon Saku Koivu, Pavol Demitra and Mario
Lemieux in the past, gets named after the player who wins it,
which is why Allison is the current namesake.

Eric Lindros, New York Rangers: Another year, another
concussion.  Lindros missed more than half the season, putting
his career in doubt - again.

Mario Lemieux, Pittsburgh Penguins: "Super Mario" started the
season with one goal in 10 games, then pulled a Bo Jackson and
missed the remainder of the season with a hip injury.  Good
news, though.  It sounds like he will be back to torture fantasy
owners again next season.

Peter Forsberg, Colorado Avalanche: Did you think Forsberg could
go two seasons in a row without injuries?  Abdominal strains
and other ailments limited the reigning RBTN MVP and Comeback
Player of the Year to 39 contests.

Dominik Hasek, Detroit Red Wings: Were you more excited than
Jacques Lemaire at a neutral-zone trap seminar when you heard
Hasek was coming out of retirement?  Well, instead of blowing
whistles and ringing bells, you should have sounded alarms.
Hasek played 14 games, then prematurely ended his season, saying
his groin was not up to snuff.


COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Given to the player who came back
from a major injury or terrible season and made another huge
splash in fantasy hockey pools.

Chris Pronger, St Louis Blues: After missing last season due to
a major wrist injury, Pronger tied for second among defensemen
in scoring, and he did it without Al MacInnis playing alongside
him on the power play.

Steve Yzerman, Detroit Red Wings: It was almost assumed Yzerman
would retire after knee problems plagued him the past couple
seasons, but "Stevie Y" persevered and totaled 51 points in 75
games.

Jose Theodore, Montreal Canadiens: He went from being a Vezina
winner two years ago to being one of the worst goalies in
fantasy pucks last year.  This season, he rebounded  with some
Vezina-level goaltending that made his fantasy owners overjoyed.

Sheldon Souray, Montreal Canadiens  Souray was known as a
journeyman defensive defenseman who missed the entire 2002-03
season following numerous wrist surgeries.  So I guess nobody
could have predicted he would total 15 goals and 35 points in 63
contests, especially since he never had scored more than three
goals in a season.

Bryan Berard, Chicago Blackhawks: After returning from a major
eye injury a couple years ago, Berard was a mediocre blip on
fantasy radar in stops with the New York Rangers and Boston
Bruins.  But he quietly put on a show for the lowly Hawks,
totaling 47 points and playing as well as he did before Marian
Hossa high-sticked him.

THANKS FOR NOTHING AWARD: Given to the player from whom fantasy
owners expected a lot but delivered a season so forgettable he
should be banned from the NHL for life and never again drafted
in a fantasy hockey league (there are seven nominees because so
many stars had awful seasons).

Alexei Kovalev, Montreal Canadiens: Kovalev not only was bad for
one NHL team this season, he was bad for two (not to mention
millions of fantasy teams).  After a lackluster 42 points in 66
games for the Rangers, he came to the Habs and had three points
in 12 outings.

Marian Gaborik, Minnesota Wild: He held out for the first month
of the season, then came back without a clue how to score a
goal.  His 40 points in 65 games were unacceptable, and he only
had that many because of a late-season surge.

Todd Bertuzzi, Vancouver Canucks: Everything was going fine
until Bertuzzi blindsided Steve Moore and got himself suspended
for the last month of the season, the time when fantasy owners
needed him most.

Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim: Last season's
Stanley Cup darling was this season's fantasy hockey goat.
"Giggy" was not a biggie in the nets, going 17-31-6 with a 2.62
GAA.

Mike Modano, Dallas Stars: Modano had easily the worst season of
his 15-year career.  He had 44 points and was a minus-21 on a
team that was pretty good.  That is very hard to do, especially
when you are supposed to be that team's marquee player.

Curtis Joseph, Detroit Red Wings: Dominik Hasek's injury was
supposed to open the door for "Cujo" to get his starting goalie
job back, but all it did was open the door for Manny Legace.
Joseph was injured on and off all season, and when he did play
he was far from a stone wall.

Paul Kariya, Colorado Avalanche: Kudos to Kariya for signing
with Colorado for millions less than he could have made on the
open market.  But this match made in heaven (Kariya plus
up-tempo system plus star-studded linemates) ended up with
Kariya scoring 36 points in 51 games and being hampered by ankle
and wrist injuries.

Dann die Goalies und Verteidiger



GOALIE OF THE YEAR: Given to the netminder whose rubber-stopping
skills helped fantasy owners the most.

Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils: The most durable goalie in
fantasy hockey history did it again this season, playing another
70-plus games while leading the NHL with 38 wins and 11
shutouts.

Marty Turco, Dallas Stars: If you thought last season was a
fluke, you were more wrong than a prognosticator thinking
Detroit would sweep Nashville in the first round of the
playoffs.  Turco proved he is the real deal after winning 37
games and posting a 1.98 GAA and nine shutouts.

Ed Belfour, Toronto Maple Leafs: Belfour is showing no signs of
slowing down, good news for Toronto fans who were about to
decapitate Trevor Kidd after some of his sieve-like
performances.  Belfour finished in the top 10 in most goalie
categories thanks to 34 wins, 10 shutouts, a 2.13 GAA and .918
save percentage.

Miikka Kiprusoff, Calgary Flames: All "Kipper" needed was a
chance to play, and play he did after San Jose traded him for a
draft pick.  Kiprusoff led the NHL with a 1.70 GAA and .933 save
percentage and arguably was the top fantasy player scooped up
on waivers in fantasy leagues.

DEFENSEMAN OF THE YEAR: Given to the backliner whose fantasy
skills did not just encompass body checks, standout defensive
plays and blocking shots, since those are not categories in 99.9
percent of fantasy leagues.

Bryan McCabe, Toronto Maple Leafs: Forget about his physical
presence and leadership.  His 16 goals, 37 assists, 53 points,
eight power-play goals and plus-22 are what made fantasy owners
happier than a Hanson brother in a brawl.

Zdeno Chara, Ottawa Senators: Chara is not just the tallest
player in the league anymore.  His combination of offense (16
goals), defense (plus-33, tops among defensemen) and toughness
(147 penalty minutes) has made him a fantasy stalwart.

Scott Niedermayer, New Jersey Devils: No Scott Stevens, no
problem.  Niedermayer played more and scored more, tying for
second among defensemen with 54 points, his best output since
1997-98.  His nine power-play tallies and plus-20 helped, too.

Sergei Gonchar, Boston Bruins: Gonchar battled a shoulder injury
and the fact he was playing on the hapless Washington Capitals
for most of the season and still led all defensemen with 58
points.

Hier sind die Nominierungen für die wichtigsten NHL-Awards.

Als erstes die rookies:



--------------------------------------------------------------

By Craig Rondinone
SportsTicker Staff Writer

JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (Ticker) - We are one week away from
handing out awards that are bigger than the Grammys, Oscars,
Emmys and Tonys.  They may be even more prestigious than the
ESPYs.

It is time to decide who gets the 2004 RBTN Fantasy Hockey
Awards, given to the best and worst in fantasy pucks, and it is
you, the obsessive-compulsive fantasy owner, who gets to choose
who wins and who doesn't.

So without wasting any more time, here are the nominees:

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: Given to the youngster who made the most
fantasy owners look like geniuses for picking him up, either
late in their drafts or during the season.

Michael Ryder, Montreal Canadiens: Fantasy owners rode Ryder to
a spectacular season as he led all first-year players with 38
assists and 63 points.  His presence gave Montreal two scoring
lines for the first time in a long time.

Trent Hunter, New York Islanders: When the Isles lost Alexei
Yashin and Mark Parrish to major injuries, this kid stepped up
to fill the scoring void.  He tied for first among rookies in
goals and second in points.

Andrew Raycroft, Boston Bruins: Fantasy owners may have known
Felix Potvin would not keep the No. 1 goalie job in Beantown,
but nobody could have guessed Raycroft would carry the Bs on his
back, going 29-18-9 with a 2.05 goals-against average and .926
save percentage.

Marek Zidlicky, Nashville Predators: Nashville fans quickly
forgot about Andy Delmore as soon as Zidlicky started
quarterbacking the power play with Kimmo Timonen.  Zidlicky
scored 53 points from the blue line in the first NHL season and
was among the league's top scoring defensemen from start to
finish.
