With another season come and gone, it is again time for another set of SHL Awards! With that comes another set of Awards nominations, celebrating not only the eventual winners of each Award, but also the players who had the type of season to get themselves into the conversation for each Award. With the Awards Ceremony on the horizon (time and date TBD), we will be taking some time now to go over each Award and the S72 nominees!

---

We will start at the top of the Awards list with the John McBride Award for the league's Best Goaltender.

Brick Wall @brickwall35 finds himself as a McBride finalist for the fourth consecutive season and is looking to repeat as the McBride winner following his fantastic season atop the Montreal Patriotes goaltending tandem. With previous McBride wins in S66, S69, and S71, Brick Wall is no stranger to this award. In S72, Brick Wall saw his workload stay roughly on par with his career numbers, starting over 50 games for the seventh consecutive season. Even with wins being more of a team statistic than an individual one, it is still impressive to note that S72 was Brick Wall's fifth consecutive season of 30+ wins and his sixth such season as starting goalie for Montreal. Brick Wall led all starting goalies (min. 33 games played) in the SHL last season with a goals allowed average (GAA) of 2.96, and was only one of two goalies in the SHL to post a GAA of under 3.00. With that being said, goals allowed average is often disproportionately affected by shot volume that a team faces, and it is important to note that Montreal faced the fifth least shots against per game of any team in the SHL, facing 32.39 shots a game. Goals Saved Above Average (GSAA) is also often a statistic that is affected by volume, but despite that fact, Brick Wall not only led the league in GSAA with 29.01, but the next closest goalie to him was fellow McBride finalist Enes Gundogan at 20.57. The one goalie statistic that is not affected by volume, though, is save percentage. In terms of save percentage, Brick Wall led all goalies who played more than 23 games in S72 with a save percentage of .910. And to cap off the fantastic season that he had, Brick Wall also was tied for the league lead in shutouts with six shutouts. With all said and done, even if Brick Wall does not walk away with his fourth McBride victory, he will have completed yet another season as one of the league's premier goaltenders.

Enes Gundogan @AW13 finds themselves as a McBride finalist for the first time in their career. Gundogan and Minnesota as a whole have struggled over the course of Gundogan's career, but this season saw both take a massive step forward in their path towards true contention. As mentioned above in Brick Wall's section, Gundogan finished second in the league overall in GSAA with 20.57, which is a strong number to have even despite the volume of shots that Minnesota faced (40.65 shots against per game). This shot volume did attribute to Gundogan's GAA which ended the season at 3.71. While this number is fairly high, myself and the committee agreed that this was a scenario in which the GAA did not paint the whole picture for the goalie, and using this number against Gundogan would be unfair to Gundogan given the fact that they ended the season second among starting goalies for save percentage with a .907. With only one shutout to their name, Gundogan was a massive reason for Minnesota's step forward this past season, and the McBride nomination may not be enough to show just how important Gundogan is and will be to their continued success.

Our third finalist is Justin Time @RAmenAmen. Justin Time finds himself as a McBride finalist for the first time in his career after finishing as the SHL wins leader for the second consecutive season. Time played the third most minutes of any goalie this past season, trailing only Philadelphia's BASE PACK and fellow McBride nominee Brick Wall while leading Edmonton to their second consecutive division title. Time was the second of two goalies to finish with a GAA of under 3.00, with his GAA sitting just short of that mark at 2.99, while also finishing fifth for starting goalies in save percentage with a .903. Time did also finish with two shutouts to his name.

Next up we have the Scott Stevens Award for the league's Best Defenseman.

Winnipeg's Jay O'Neil @Sburbine is no stranger to the Awards nomination list as he is coming off of two consecutive seasons as not only a Bojo Biscuit Award finalist, but in both seasons O'Neil walked away as the winner of that Award. This is the first season, however, that O'Neil finds himself as a Scott Stevens Award finalist, and for good reason.

O'Neil did not have much in terms of weak spots in his season performance. For each of Goals, Assists, and Points, O'Neil was in the 98th percentile or better for defensemen. Not only that, he finished in the 89th percentile (14th overall) for shot blocks by defensemen. This was on a team that allowed the least shots in the league, no less. I won't walk through every specific percentile, but O'Neil really only faltered in one category: relative Corsi%. He did have a positive relative Fenwick%, and was among the league leaders for Corsi Against and Fenwick Against per minute, which makes up for the negative relCF%. While O'Neil was not as good as Winnipeg was overall in terms of GF/60 and SF/60, this is hard to use against him when you take into account his actual production. Likewise, for a team that allowed the least shots in the league and the fourth least goals against, O'Neil was better than Winnipeg as a whole in both categories. Despite being on one of, if not the deepest team in the league, O'Neil stood out in just about every major and advanced category.

New England's Seamus O'Slapahan @Z0REM finds himself as an Award nominee for the first time in his career for any award, and what a season to have to earn a nomination.

O'Slapahan was a major contributor to New England's success in S72 in practically every category. Offensively, O'Slapahan contributed 16 goals, which is absolutely nothing to scoff at for a defenseman. Where O'Slapahan stood out offensively, though, was in assists and total points, posting a league leading 61 and 73 respectively. Even when you take out the 31 points O'Slapahan earned on the powerplay, he was still in the 95th percentile of defensemen with 34 evens trength points and was in the 99th percentile for defensemen with 8 shorthanded points. Paired with a league-leading (for defensemen) 5.5 GF/60 and 48.1 SF/60, O'Slapahan was arguably the leading offensive defenseman in the SHL in S72. That isn't where his story ends, though, as O'Slapahan was a big reason why New England was as good defensively as they were. Despite being on the team that faced the fourth least shots in the league in S72, O'Slapahan finished 6th overall for shot blocks with 214. While his GA/60 sits at 2.9 and is only good for the 77th percentile for defensemen, that is still almost half a goal better than New England was as a whole. When you factor on how much ice time O'Slapahan racked up, being able to accomplish that feat is quite impressive. O'Slapahan's resume from S72 speaks for itself, and only time will tell if it is good enough to take home his first award from his first nomination.

Our final Scott Stevens nominee is none other than Philadelphia's San-sam Emerson @Thelastheraclid, who earned his third consecutive Scott Stevens Award nomination with another strong performance headlining the Forge blueline.

Emerson matched his goal total from last season with 23, good for 4th for defensemen, while his 41 assists were good for an 8th place tie with two other defensemen. While neither of these are truly standing out on their own, together they earned Emerson a 5th place finish for points by defensemen. Emerson did benefit from powerplay time, but his 33 even strength points were still good for the 93rd percentile for defensemen. Emerson was also one of the more physical defensemen in the league, finishing with 94 hits. 83 takeaways also was good enough for 3rd by defensemen, and his 4.61 TkA/GvA ratio was above the league average for defensemen. Emerson really stood out defensively, allowing only 2.5 GA/60, which was both good for 98th percentile for defensemen and .64 better than the league's 3rd best team in terms of GA/game.

Next up we have the Bojo Biscuit Award for the league's Best Defensive Defenseman.

Hodor @bbjygm has seemingly found himself on the outside looking in for the Bojo in recent memory, but this season finds himself right in the mix for potentially walking away from the awards show with his first win.

For the Bojo, we'll ignore the offensive categories like goals, assists, and points. Hodor led the league in shot blocks on the team that allowed the 7th least shots per game. His 33 takeaways were not all that impressive when compared to the league's defensemen overall, but I'm not going to give him all that much of a knock considering he still had a positive ratio. Hodor was also one of the league leaders for shorthanded time on ice, headlining the league's 4th ranked penalty kill. His 2.6 GA/60 was not only good for the 92nd percentile among defensemen, but also was .72 better than Texas as a whole. Hodor also allowed just shy of two shots less than Texas as a whole per 60 minutes played, which doesn't seem all that impressive at first glance, but still contributes a lot over the course of an entire season. While his relative Corsi (his Corsi percentage relative to his teammate's Corsi) does not look good, his Fenwick is a good bit in the positive. Corsi tracks all shot attempts while Fenwick tracks all unblocked shot attempts, so Hodor's relative percentages here make sense considering his 348 shot blocks were counted for in his relative Corsi. The stats here may not seem all that impressive, but when you take everything in the context of how these stats work together, Hodor was an impressive standout defensively on a team that needed him to be.

What more can I say about New England's Seamus O'Slapahan that I haven't already above. I won't re-link his player card, but I will highlight a few of the defensive aspects of his season once more. O'Slapahan stood at 2.9 GA/60 which was both .37 better than New England as a whole as well as good for the 77th percentile among defensemen. O'Slapahan also allowed only 26.5 SA/60, an astounding 4.07 better than New England as a whole and good for the 97th percentile of defensemen. O'Slapahan's 214 shot blocks were good for 6th in the league, and his 71 takeaways were good for the 92nd percentile. O'Slapahan was a major positive in both relative possession metrics, +2.8 Corsi and +5.6 Fenwick. When you break it down to each minute, O'Slapahan was the league leader in Fenwick Against per minute played and was 2nd in terms of Corsi Against per minute played. Could O'Slapahan walk away from the Awards show with both the Stevens and the Bojo? While impressive, it is a tall task considering the value of defensemen he is up against for both awards.

Seattle's Wendolene Ramsbottom @JuOSu is another defenseman that has been on the outside looking in in recent seasons. Personally, they were in my top-3 last season, and it is exciting to see them deservingly make it as a finalist for the Bojo this season.

Seattle as a whole has really struggled in recent memory, and S72 was no improvement as they allowed over 4 goals per game (4.21). Ramsbottom, though, has been one of the few bright spots in the Argonaut lineup, especially in the defensive department. Ramsbottom's 3.1 GA/60 might not seem impressive when compared to the two other Bojo nominees, but what is impressive about this number is that it is over a goal better than Seattle as a whole (1.11 GA/60 better, to be specific). Not only that, but Ramsbottom's 30.6 SA/60 was 6.37 SA/60 better than Seattle as a whole. Ramsbottom decided not to stop there, though, as they finished with 82 takeaways, good for the 98th percentile for defensemen. Despite being the league's leader in time on ice by a defenseman, Ramsbottom was a standout in multiple categories when broken down to the "per minute" basis, finishing in the 98th percentile for hits, 90th for takeaways, 77th for Fenwick Against, 70th for Corsi Against, and 61st for shot blocks. Another standout note for Ramsbottom? They led the league's defensemen in both relative Corsi (+6.7) and relative Fenwick (+7.4). At first glance, Ramsbottom was just another defenseman on a struggling team. When you really break things down, though, it is obvious that Ramsbottom very much deserves to be a part of the conversation when it comes to the league's best defensive defensemen.

The next Award we have is the Jeff Dar Award for the league's Best Two-Way Forward.

The Dar is always one of the toughest Awards to vote on, and this season was no different.

Edmonton's Evan Winter @RomanesEuntDomus returns to the Dar ballot after being a finalist last season, and for good reason.

Winter was once again a standout performer offensively for the Blizzard, finishing with over 110 points and at least 50 goals for the second consecutive season. Winter was above league average for forwards in both shot blocks (45) and hits (94) on the season. While Winter had a high giveaway total (80), he was also a big possessor of the puck. Forwards as a whole have more giveaways than defensemen do, and with the sheer volume of puck possession that Edmonton had this season, Winter's giveaway total can't be looked at too harshly. Being in the 94th percentile for takeaways with 60 does make up for a good bit of the giveaway negative, and his TkA/Gva ratio of 0.75 was good for the 65th percentile among forwards. Winter's GF/60 of 5.2 was marginally better than Edmonton as a whole, but his 2.8 GA/60 was almost half a goal (0.46) better than Edmonton as a whole. His SF/60 and SA/60 were fairly close to Edmonton as a whole, but was still impressive overall. Winter was a positive possession player relative to Edmonton, and when you break down his categories to the "per minute" value, he was a standout performer in Takeaways (89th), Corsi Against (93rd), and Fenwick Against (90th).

Philadelphia's Graj Virrok @.Laser makes his Awards debut on the Dar ballot this season.

When your main struggles as a forward are hits and giveaways, given the state of the league, those aren't terrible categories to be "struggling" in, especially when you make up for it in just about every other category. In similar fashion to Edmonton, Philadelphia was a possession monster yet again this season, and that can be part of the cause of Virrok's turnovers. However, Virrok was one of the few forwards this past season to post a positive TkA/GvA ratio, and that feat is not diminished by the fact that Virrok finished in the 97th percentile for takeaways by forwards. Virrok's goals (39), points (91), and shot blocks (64) were all good for at least the 88th percentile among forwards, and his 52 assists were no joke, either. Breaking things down a bit further, Virrok's GF/60 (5.2), GA/60 (2.7), and SF/60 (46.7) were all better than Philadelphia as a whole, with both his GF/60 and SF/60 coming in at least in the 96th percentile. Where Virrok truly stood out though was shorthanded. Spearheading the league's third ranked penalty kill, Virrok was among the league leaders in shorthanded ice time and actually led the league in shorthanded points with 12, 6 of which were goals which was good for second in the league. At the "per minute" level, Virrok was in the 98th percentile for both Corsi Against and Fenwick Against while he finished in the 94th percentile for Takeaways.

Buffalo's Konstantin Selich @Tomen joins Evan Winter as a returning Dar finalist, hoping to come away with his first Dar victory to put alongside his Ron Mexico Award from S69.

Selich was the league leader in goals this past season, finishing a few goals shy of a goal per game pace with 59 total. Combining 60 assists with that put him one point shy of the 120 point mark. Selich matched Virrok's shot blocks with 64, and likewise struggled in the hits and giveaways departments. Selich did do what he could to make up for the giveaway totals by posting 50 takeaways, landing his TkA/GvA ratio at above league average. Selich's per-60 numbers were also good when context was taken into account. His 4.8 GF/60 lined up with his point totals being both better than his team (+0.22) and being in the 88th percentile for forwards. Selich's 3.3 GA/60 was only slightly better than league average, but was +0.33 better than Buffalo as a whole. Selich also was among the league eladers for shorthanded points with 8, however 7 of those were goals, which was tied for the league lead. A relative Corsi of +4.5 and a relative Fenwick of +4.1 were both at least in the 93rd percentile and are just impressive on their own. When broken down to the "per minute" level, Selich still stands out in the possession department, especially when it comes to Corsi and Fenwick Against.

Next up we have the Ryan Jesster Award for the league's Best Rookie.

DISCLAIMER: Rookies tend to not have the greatest stats when compared to their seasoned veteran counterparts, and I did not set up a separate rookie database to pull from. So, the percentiles you see  below for the finalists are compared to their positions as a whole, NOT strictly to other rookies.

Bender Junior @Wally was not called up into the brightest of situations in Toronto. The Stars are deep in a rebuild and are still trying to claw their way out of it and hope that Bender Junior can be a contributing piece moving forward. Making a name for himself as a Jesster finalist is certainly a fantastic way to prove to management that you're a star piece to build around.

Despite being on one of the lowest TPE teams in the league, Bender Junior managed to perform at above a point-per-game pace the entire season, finishing with an impressive 29 goals, 39 assists, and 68 points. Junior's 36 shot blocks fall just shy of league average, but his 57 takeaways are good for the 91st percentile. With a TkA/GvA ratio of 0.88, that is an impressive feat for a player tasked with heavy minutes against the league's top competition. While his per-60 rates look horrendous, we can't look at them just at face value. When comparing these values to Toronto as a whole, Junior was only marginally worse in terms of GF/60, which he made up for by being only one of three Toronto players to finish with over 66 points. His 4.9 GA/60 might look even worse, especially when you notice it is only good for the 10th percentile among forwards. However, when you look even closer, you'll see that Junior was a half goal (0.52) better than Toronto as a whole. It is hard to truly limit goals when your team is not built to withstand the onslaught, but to be able to be that much better than your team as a whole, regardless of your team's skill level, is impressive.

Los Angeles may have found their defenseman of the future in Georg N'Zola @retuperkele.

N'Zola was tasked with second pairing minutes this season, which is a fair amount to ask of a rookie defenseman in this league. Still, N'Zola walked away with above-average totals in goals (8), assists (26), and points (34). His 31 even strength points were even good for the 92nd percentile among defensemen! While N'Zola only had 84 shot blocks, he was a 60th percentile or better defenseman in Hits (69), Giveaways (10), Takeaways (52), and TkA/GvA ratio (5.20). While his GF/60 was below league average, it was not much lower than Los Angeles as a whole, so being that close to your team isn't as much of a knock on the individual as it seems. N'Zola's 2.7 GA/60, however, was good for both the 89th percentile among defensemen as well as over a goal better (1.07) than Los Angeles as a whole. With his SF/60 and SA/60 both being better than Los Angeles as a whole, N'Zola was a positive contributor in every zone of his game. Even at the "per minute" level, N'Zola stood out league wide in Giveaways (72nd percentile), Corsi For (87th percentile), and Fenwick For (82nd percentile).

Philadelphia just really knows how to turn out future talent as Gnabe Dabson @golden_apricot finds himself joining the finalist list.

Dabson tied with Bender Junior as points leader among rookies with 68, getting there with 27 goals and 41 assists. Dabson's 143 hits were a standout league wide, finishing in the 93rd percentile in this category. Dabson's 5.3 GF/60 and 2.9 GA/60 were both roughly a quarter goal better than Philadelphia was in both categories. Dabson may not have stood out in terms of possession relative to Philadelphia, he still managed to stand out league wide at the "per minute" level, finishing in the 94th percentile for both Corsi For and Fenwick For. Dabson, unlike Junior, did not benefit from powerplay time, as 67 of his 68 points came at even strength.

I'm going to make a bit of a jump to the last award that I will have player cards for: the Ron Mexico Award for the league's Most Valuable Player!

New England's Ivan Lacksamus @thiefofcheese returns to the Awards finalist list for the first time since being a Dar finalist in S70 and for only the third time in his career. He is looking to bring home his first ever Award win, and boy did he put up quite the season to try and do that.

Lacksamus was only a few goals short of the league lead, finishing with 55 goals, four short of Konstantin Selich. Lacksamus, however, did lead the league in both assists and points, with 76 and 131 respectively. His 67 shot blocks were also good for the 93rd percentile among forwards. His 56 takeaways were in the 90th percentile, and he was among the league leaders for time on ice at even strength, powerplay, and shorthanded. His 4.4 GF/60 is roughly a goal worse than New England as a whole, but when you lead the league in points by 12 and your next closest teammate by 33, I think you've made up for that difference. His 2.6 GA/60 was in the 93rd percentile and was two-thirds of a goal (0.67) better than New England as a whole. His SF/60 and SA/60 were both at least in the 90th percentile and were better than New England as a whole. Lacksamus finished with 11 shorthanded points, good for second in the league behind Dar finalist Graj Virrok. At the "per minute" level, Lacksamus finished in the 85th percentile for shot blocks, 80th for Takeaways, and 99th for both Corsi Against and Fenwick Against.

Konstantin Selich, as talked about in the Dar section, was a standout player in both ends of the ice. When you put up 119 points and also play as well defensively as Selich did, it is almost impossible to not be considered among the league's most valuable players. Selich's league lead in goals is an impressive feat, and the 18 point lead he has on his teammate Ty Murphy isn't one that is easily made up. Buffalo would have had quite a difficult time reaching 40 wins without the help of Selich.

Seamus O'Slapahan joins his Wolfpack teammate Ivan Lacksamus as a Mexico finalist this season after putting up quite the all-around performance. Now, it is typically unusual to see two teammates in the MVP conversation, and personally I think that is for good reason. However, looking through all of S72, it was hard to make an argument against both Wolfpack members making the Mexico ballot. O'Slapahan was such a standout in every end of the ice that it was impossible to ignore. 6th in shot blocks despite being on a top goal and shot limiting team, league lead in both assists and points by a defenseman, and elite puckhandling results and possession numbers were more than enough to earn him consideration for Most Valuable Player.

---

For now, that is where this review will end, and we will return soon with a look at the rest of the league's award nominees ahead of the impending awards ceremony! Once again, congratulations to all nominees, and best of luck to everyone!

Ramsbottom has my Bojo vote by 1000 miles. So underrated. A true gem.

Honestly it is so bizarre to read these messages. I have never been good. What is this life! Appreciate it!

Hey @FuzzSHL

I really enjoy seeing explanations and breakdowns like this. I know voting for awards is never an easy task since there are so many different things to consider.

I'm just curious about all the criteria that goes into voting for the Dar and would appreciate some insight into what swayed the votes the most.

As the end of the season approached I was gaining hope that my player might actually receive a nom for once. I was also expecting Outdoor Truck on NEW to get at least a nom if not a runaway win. I was really surprised to see neither of us made the top three and that two of the three highest scoring players in the league made the cut for defensive forward instead.

I'd just like to know what all the advanced stats say about Truck and Kevens and how they fell short of a nom this season. From my (biased) point of view it seems like we fulfilled or exceeded a lot of the criteria outlined in the explanation given for the three actual nominees.

Thanks for all the work that you put into this

To be clear, the Dar is a Two-Way award, not a Defensive one.

Hey @FuzzSHL

I really enjoy seeing explanations and breakdowns like this. I know voting for awards is never an easy task since there are so many different things to consider.

I'm just curious about all the criteria that goes into voting for the Dar and would appreciate some insight into what swayed the votes the most.

As the end of the season approached I was gaining hope that my player might actually receive a nom for once. I was also expecting Outdoor Truck on NEW to get at least a nom if not a runaway win. I was really surprised to see neither of us made the top three and that two of the three highest scoring players in the league made the cut for defensive forward instead.

I'd just like to know what all the advanced stats say about Truck and Kevens and how they fell short of a nom this season. From my (biased) point of view it seems like we fulfilled or exceeded a lot of the criteria outlined in the explanation given for the three actual nominees.

Thanks for all the work that you put into this

I appreciate the kind words! I also appreciate the questions, and I wanted to say something now before I forgot. Check back on this comment later tonight, I have things IRL I need to deal with but I do want to give your questions the proper time of day when it comes to completely answering it.

EDIT: Alright, SO. To start off, @WannabeFinn is right, the Dar is a Two-Way Forward award. To me, this just means that the defensive play of potential nominees should be taken more into account that it would for, say, the Richan. (Disclaimer: this is not me saying I or the committee do not take defensive play into account for other awards).

To answer your question regarding insight into voting and why Kev and Truck were not on the final ballot...

The Jeff Dar and Bojo Biscuit Awards are, in my opinion, the two most difficult awards to vote for. There are so many different criteria to look at and take into account, it is insanely difficult to find players that truly stand out from the rest. Some players look great because of the team they are on, some look great in comparison to their team but not to the rest of the league, it is just so difficult to not only narrow down potential candidates, but even to make a list of 5 to begin with (preliminary ballots call for 3-5 nominees for each award, with final ballots being voted on based off of preliminary ballots). To put these numbers into perspective, the list of forwards that I initially looked at as potential Dar candidates was 14. Fourteen. And even then, my list did not have players that other people looked at, and I undoubtedly missed players who were deserving in some form or fashion. Unfortunately, this is a side effect of the way FHM displays statistics as well as which statistics FHM does not keep track of to begin with.

With Outdoor Truck, he stood out in a number of categories. The ones that he stood out in to me, specifically, were: Assists (67, 98th percentile), Hits (162, 98th percentile), TkA/GvA ratio (1.57, 98th percentile), and his per-minute categories for Hits, Giveaways, Corsi Against, and Fenwick Against, which were all 98th percentile. The issue, to me personally, with Truck was...he just seemed like a physical forward. A lot of points, a lot of hits, but he was lacking in shot blocks relative to other nominees, his /60 statistics were all good, but he was offensively worse than his team was (-0.92 GF/60 and -0.58 SF/60). His defensive metrics were better than New England was as a whole (-0.37 GA/60 and -0.67 SA/60), but, to me, it didn't make up the difference for his offensive rates. He was a negative possession player relative to his team (-1.8 CF% rel and -0.9 FF% rel), and a lot of his points came from the powerplay (40 PP points as opposed to 52 even strength). He was a very good player, don't get me wrong, but he just stood out in the wrong areas. Again, this is for me personally, I can't speak for the rest of the committee.

Now Kev Kevens. I'll be straight up about this: I completely missed him. NOW, just to make it clear, I am but one of the committee. My comments here about Kev, and about any one player in general do not reflect the overall view of the committee, either positively or negatively. Even if I hadn't missed him and brought him up in conversation, that does not mean he would have gotten on the final ballot. Would he have gotten on mine? That's a very close call. Very similar to Virrok in most statistical categories, with more hits (131 to 71) and slightly more shot blocks (68 to 54). Their point totals are almost identical (89 Kev to 91 Virrok), only two off from each other, with Kev having more assists (57 to 52) and Virrok having more goals (Kev 32, Virrok 39). They are both better than their respective teams in 3/4 of the /60 statistics. Virrok has better "per minute" rates for possession and had more shorthanded points and time.

At the end of the day, I don't know how my initial ballot would have looked if I could go back. Only one of my top 3 actually ended up on the final ballot. The Dar continues to be the toughest award to vote for every single season, and I will continue to try and find better methods for voting for both it and the Bojo.
