It might have been lost in the day-to-day news affecting the playoff races but I couldnt help noticing the list of Masterton Trophy nominees as it was released division by division. Ian Kinsler replica Jersey . I found myself saying, "hes a lock to win the Masterton," and I found myself saying that eight or nine times.  The Masterton Trophy, need you be reminded, is awarded for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. Its hard to imagine Richard Zednik not winning it.  Hes the Florida Panther who recovered from a life-threatening cut to his carotid artery.  I would vote for him in a minute, if it didnt take about five minutes to wonder about Teppo Numminen, the Buffalo defenceman who returned to the NHL after heart surgery. As for stirring comebacks, those two rank right up there with Minnesota Wild defenceman Kurtis Foster, out of action for a year with a terribly broken femur.  Then theres Steve Sullivan, the Nashville forward who missed almost two full years, one for each back surgery he underwent.  Unfortunately Zednik, Numminen, Foster and Sullivan wont be in the playoffs because their teams didnt get there but other stirring comeback stories continue. Washington Capitals defenceman Brian Pothier is back in action after more than a year with the worst possible concussion symptoms.  The same holds true of Bostons Patrice Bergeron, whose career was in jeopardy for most of last season. Right about now, you are probably thinking as I did, there should be more than one Masterton trophy.  There could be 30. Theres Claude Lemieux of the San Jose Sharks, back in the NHL at age 43 after five years away.  That would be more remarkable if Chris Chelios wasnt still suiting up for Detroit at age 47. Its a great game; it must be for all the hardships that are regularly pushed aside for those that want to play it.  During the playoffs you are invited to celebrate their perseverance, their sportsmanship and their dedication to hockey.  When the playoffs are over and you hear who won the Masterton trophy, ask yourself how the voters decided on one name.
