A list of puns related to "Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy"
The guy went through so much trying to keep his career going when his body failed him. He came back from several injuries, including his constant ankle problems that required specialized skates and surgeries. He also suffered a ruptured spleen where he started puking blood hours after a game, and had to take a year off to recover from that and his various injures, only to return to lead the playoffs in points as well as win the Art Ross and Hart the next year.
Injuries forced him out again at 34. After 2 more injury plagued but productive seasons in Sweden he tried to make a comeback in the NHL that ultimately failed because of injury problems. The guy did everything he could to just keep playing.
It was a also recently revealed that he played his entire career with only 60% vision in one eye.
With a trophy like the Masterton it's hard to argue that one player deserves it more than another, but overall I think he was deserving. I don't recall there being talk of him for this award, or even if he was nominated or not.
