Seattle -- The VHL Awards Ceremony was this morning, and despite the lagging TV ratings for holding it on a Sunday morning, there were still a few surprises in store. One of them occurred with the Playoff MVP voting, where two Bears were announced to share the award: forward Gabriel McAllister and goalie Vernon von Axelberry. They each received four votes, while forward Shawn Gretzky received one.

 

For McAllister, the voting couldn't have turned out more perfect. "I mean, of course I wanted to win the award, everybody wants recognition," McAllister told reporters in a press conference after the ceremony. "But I also wanted V2A to get recognition for his ludicrous performances in Games 6 and 7 against Helsinki. If we're sharing the award, I get the best of both worlds, and I'm all for that."

 

McAllister, of course, led the league in points during the playoffs, with 28 in 15 games. His 11 goals tied for the league lead, while his 17 assists were only behind teammate Mats Johnsson. Now halfway through his career, McAllister has had both personal and team success, but he wants more.

 

"We're running it back with mostly the same roster this year, and I feel good about it," McAllister said. "Anything can happen with the craziness that is the VHL, but I feel good about where we're at."

Whoever was the last to vote was if we’re getting technical. Had I counted the votes last night it would have been just Cowboy.
