After resolving some technical difficulties with the site that have prevented me from posting for the past week, counting up hundred of emails from visitors who could not get our poll software to work and sorting through and deleting some late votes that somehow snuck by when the poll failed to auto close on the 14th, the results the first annual Mr. Hockeyburgh award have been tabulated.

And the winner is … MISTERRRRRRRRRRR KENNEDY!

Tyler Kennedy received 29.3% of the vote and edged out playoff MVP Geno Malkin (23.6%) for this year’s award.

Coming in third was former Penguin Rob Scuderi (19.3%) and rounding out the voting was Marc-Andre Fleury (14.7%) and Bill Guerin (13.1%).

Tyler Kennedy has proven to be a fan favorite all year long with his high energy play and aggressive play in the offensive zone. There is no doubt in my mind that he is worthy of this award.

Congratulations Mr. Kennedy! And don’t let the award go to your head.
