The New York Rangers have announced their regular season awards, honoring Jonny Brodzinski, Jonathan Quick, and Will Cuylle. Cuylle received the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award, recognizing individual perseverance, while Quick was awarded the Mr. Ranger accolade for demonstrating strong leadership and humanitarian contributions. Brodzinski has been nominated for the Bill Masterton Trophy, applauded for his mentorship of younger players. Despite the team's struggles this season, these awards highlight the deserving achievements of these players and emphasize the importance of recognizing their contributions.
Cuylle was logically the only player who could receive the Steven McDonald Extra Effort Award, aside from Sam Rosen or the fans for putting up with this team this year.
This drew some ire since the "backup goalie was the only guy they could pick" is a narrative that fits too well with the current group.
