2008-09 Probert Award: Fighter of the Year

[OneilltheGiant]

I remember reading on one of the Russian sites that it was a done deal.. Did Brashear not fly out a few weeks ago to have talks with the owner of the team and to finalise the deal...

[Blues 34]

Belak for his great comeback year. Godard would have been second.

11 fights beating two of the top guys in the league, Boogaard twice and TKO/KO win over Brashear. Belak only lost once clearly this year to Boogaard.. He also had clear wins over Hordichuk, Janssen, Rupp, Cote and he improved from being a decent top ten fighter to being arguable the best in the league this season..


Godard fought more but lost 5 times this year, twice to Orr, and Shelley and Brookbank also both beat him clearly and Riley Cote never won many this year but he also beat Godard as well.. Godard a good fighter but still lacks the consistency of the top guys in the league. He had a couple of good wins over Orr and also beat two good rookies to the NHL in Fritz and MacIntyre, but those clear loses to to the guys I mentioned above dent his card, plus 4 of the fights he had last season it was a case of grab on and then fall over straight away. The Laraque fight, Peters fight, Thornton fight, and the Valabik scrap..
