Islanders website: Announced the Long Island Chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association Nominated New York Islanders Defenseman Mark Streit for the Masterson Award with a link to an Islander Newsday blog entry from Greg Logan with the defenders thoughts here with head coach Scott Gordon's comments.

Point Blank: Mr Botta had more on today's nomination with general manager Garth Snow's comments.

NYI Fan Central Comments:
If nothing else we found out who makes up the current local chapter of the professional hockey writers association. He should have been nominated for Norris based on his overall play, this seems like a token nomination for a different award just to recognize his effort in some way.

Not the right way.
