Each year, National Hockey League teams must nominate a player for the Bill Masterton trophy.

We’re talking about a trophy awarded to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies perseverance, determination, and sportsmanship in hockey, for those who don’t know the trophy.

And the nominated player in Montreal is Josh Anderson.

We must remember that last year, Anderson had a miserable season. Recovering from that is an accomplishment, since this year he’s having a very good season for the habs.

Playing despite being injured inspires the guys. The habs couldn’t have written that in their text, of course, but we all know it’s true within the club.

The new father gives his all to bring the habs to the playoffs. The guys in the locker room recognize it.

I’m really looking forward to seeing, at the end of the season, what Anderson has achieved exactly this season. After all, he hardly practiced for weeks just to be able to play.

Note that Brendan Gallagher could have been a good choice because he is also a warrior – and he lost his mother. But it’s Anderson who was chosen, which is quite correct.

But both have what it takes to inspire the guys in the locker room.

Overtime

– Chantal Machabée is back. Good news!

– It would be amazing.

– Ivan Demidov, a Leon Draisaitl?
