amp73 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 So who wins it this year ? The "Jacques Beauchamp" Trophy is awarded to the player who played a dominant role on the team during the regular season without ever obtaining any particular honour. The selection is made by the media covering the team Past winners are as follows 2006-07 Mark Streit 2005-06 Steve Begin 2003-04 Francis Bouillon 2002-03 Jan Bulis 2001-02 Joe Juneau 2000-01 Oleg Petrov 1999-00 Eric Weinrich 1998-99 Benoit Brunet 1997-98 Patrice Brisebois & Marc Bureau 1996-97 Stephane Quintal 1995-96 Peter Popovich 1994-95 Benoit Brunet 1993-94 Lyle Odelein 1992-93 Mike Keane 1991-92 Brent Gilchrist 1990-91 Mike McPhee 1989-90 Mike McPhee 1988-89 Petr Svoboda 1987-88 Mike McPhee 1986-87 Rick Green 1985-86 Craig Ludwig 1984-85 Craig Ludwig 1983-84 Jean Hamel 1982-83 Craig Ludwig 1981-82 Doug Jarvis This year ......................no reason why Streit can't win it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmash Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 This year ......................no reason why Streit can't win it again Now that he has around 60 points I'm not sure he's any longer the "unsung hero". The frontrunners in my mind would be Gorges, Bouillion, Kostopolous, maybe Hamrlik (although I'm not sure if a guy with a 5 million + contract really qualifies as "unsung"), and maybe Lapierre. My pick would be Gorges, Kostopolous runner up, Bouillion in third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChitownHabby Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I made a case for Hamrlik a while back and I am going to stick to it. I agree 5 million dollar players are usually far from unsung or obscure but I think given all the other stories of the season Hamrlik's astonishing play has gone largely uncredited thus making him the logical choice for the award. He missed 5 games ; we lost 3, badly. ROMAN HAMRLIK should win it. If not him I'd give it Josh Gorges as a tribute to his play with Komisarek out.

Kindred Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Gorges. Since December he has played above and beyond what anyone could have expected him to do. Since Komi has bene out Gorges has stepped up his game. He is playing like top pairing defenceman. I could see Hamrlik getting the award but IMO Gorges deserves it more. Hamrlik was brought here to anchor the 2nd pairing which he has done quite well but Gorges spent time in and out of the pressbox and was on his way to being a reserve d man. Right now I would rank him as the 3rd best defenceman we have in the current lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Handlanger Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Now that he has around 60 points I'm not sure he's any longer the "unsung hero". The frontrunners in my mind would be Gorges, Bouillion, Kostopolous, maybe Hamrlik (although I'm not sure if a guy with a 5 million + contract really qualifies as "unsung"), and maybe Lapierre. My pick would be Gorges, Kostopolous runner up, Bouillion in third. Gorges no doubt. Streit would deserve it again yes, but he had it once, and Gorges has made a huge contribution without paricularly being noticed. I'd give it to little Josh.

My congratulations to Streit but I fully agree that it should have went to Gorges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColRouleBleu Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Congrats to Streit but judging from all the 'hoopla' about him on this forum and in the media this season, I'm not so sure that he's that unsung. If it had been me choosing I'd have gone with Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmash Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well congratulations, but I'm not sure how someone with 60 points is unsung? I'm a little confused by this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Handlanger Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well congratulations, but I'm not sure how someone with 60 points is unsung? I'm a little confused by this pick. I would have taken Gorges. But Congratulations to my MAN Mark Streit!!!! It's probably cause it says something like "the most improved"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably cause it says something like "the most improved"... if that was the case Kovalev would have been a top canidate Honestly I can say I am surprised that Streit won. Good for him none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ryanrdt Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Congrats to Streit. I think he got this because of the way he has been put back and forth from Dman to up front and that he wasn't expected to play this well. Go habs Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franck5890 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Well congratulations, but I'm not sure how someone with 60 points is unsung? I'm a little confused by this pick. By unsung I think they mean in terms of the media. It was definitely between Streit and Gorges in my mind, and am happy with the result either way. The only problem with potentially having Gorges is that there were times (particularily early) where his role was minimalized, even though he's been tremendous in an increased role in recent weeks.

Guest thefooligan5 Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Well congratulations, but I'm not sure how someone with 60 points is unsung? I'm a little confused by this pick. no one said the player had to be 'unsung'. the award simply goes to the player who has made a recognizable contribution to the team without having received any awards or other accolades. Albeit everyone is aware of streit's presence this season but he hasn't won anything for all that hard work, hence why he was chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmash Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 no one said the player had to be 'unsung'. It's generally the unofficial description of the award. the award simply goes to the player who has made a recognizable contribution to the team without having received any awards or other accolades. Albeit everyone is aware of streit's presence this season but he hasn't won anything for all that hard work, hence why he was chosen. No one has won anything. Kovalev will get the Molson Cup, and maybe Price gets a nomination for the Calder or something, but no one else has won anything either. I guess if you include Markov going to the All Star game as "winning", that takes him out. But even so, if this was the criteria, I'd give it to Plekanek. By unsung I think they mean in terms of the media. I don't know, Mark is getting pretty good media coverage. And the year Begin won it he was an incredibly popular player and got lots of media attention. I've always taken the award to be a player who contributes the most with intangibles or lesser known stats (like shot blocks) rather than on the main scoresheet.

Except game 1, where he was all fine. I don't think it was going to his head. It didn't last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
