"Ilya and Connor had terrific seasons as well…I think it was very close, so I'm very fortunate and very happy that turned out to be me…very proud, as proud as I can ever be." Ullmark also finished 10 th in the Hart Trophy voting. The netminder received 22 of 30 first-place votes and 127 points to beat out the Islanders' Ilya Sorokin (70 points) and Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck (32 points). Did I know at that point that this is going to come true? You know, probably not." "But still, you have that goal and I set that out and we had a couple of plans that I had a couple of years ago …this is what I want to do and this is what I want to be. "I think that's a goal for everyone that plays hockey and plays at the professional level that we do, that you want to be the best at your position…or even the best player," said Ullmark," who also captured the Jennings Trophy along with goalie partner Jeremy Swayman for allowing the least goals in the NHL. Overall, Boston now has 11 Vezina Trophy wins (Tiny Thompson, 4 Frank Brimsek and Tim Thomas, 2 Pete Peeters and Rask, 1). Ullmark, meanwhile, became the sixth goalie in Bruins history to capture the Vezina Trophy and first since Tuukka Rask in 2013-14. So excited."īergeron has now won NHL Awards in three straight seasons and nine individual league honors overall, having also been awarded the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award (2020-21), the NHL Foundation Player Award(2013-14), and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy (2012-13).īoston's seven Selke victories all-time (Steve Kasper won the award in 1981-82) are tied for most in the league with Detroit and Montreal. "You can say that he's definitely the best defensive forward of all time," said Ullmark. He also extended his league record for most consecutive finalist nods for a single award with 12. Per NHL Stats, Bergeron is just the eighth player in league history to win a voted upon award at least six times, joining Wayne Gretzky (9x Hart), Bobby Orr (8x Norris), Doug Harvey (7x Norris), Nicklas Lidstrom (7x Norris), Frank Boucher (7x Lady Byng), Gordie Howe (6x Hart), and Dominik Hasek (6x Vezina). And I think I'm a better person because of it." But when you're around and dealing with the special, you learn from it. "And then his ability to impact others and make them better people is the other thing. He's the best defensive player I've ever had the fortune to watch or see. Smooth or Showbiz & A.G., Diamond D etc."I didn't know that he was that good," Montgomery said of what he learned about his captain during his first season at the helm of the Black & Gold. In fact, if this material would have been released on a major label back then it would be in line with all the big hitters like Main Source, Pete Rock & C.L. This 12" right here titled "Check It Out" is easily one of the best independent Hip Hop 12"s that got put out in 93 and i would have absolutely no problem with naming it with 12"s like Sons Of Sam "Oooh He Got An Afro" & Massive Ring "Middle East" in one breath !!! Pure dopeness all the way through if you ask me and a real bitch to find !!!Ĭheck out a sample of "Blinded By Da Light":Īlright, time for one of my favourite slept on Hip Hop 12"s of the early 90s by a guy outta Philly who goes by the name of Lord Aaqil !!! II" is the only official release they put out (if you don´t count their youtube upload of "Guaranteed Raw" as a release) !!! Hope was there when youtube videos popped up with Da Minds Of Sol talking about their group, the unreleased Album and Haak Filmore put up some photos of Da Minds Of Sol Anniversary Edition T-Shirts via his Myspace page.but still, nothing happened (yet) !!!Īnyway, this 12" right here released in 1997 on 5th Dinasty Records, produced by Ill Prodc with the titles "Blinded By Da Light" & "Holocaust Pt. The first time i heard this 12" right here was in the winter months and it had that dark, melancolic vibe to it which is some kind of unique with Da Minds Of Sol production style !!!Īlso, "From The Forthcoming Album Suffa Da Consequenses" written on the labels as well as Black Thought of The Roots backing up the vocals caused some serious discussions to the underground vinyl community !!!Īfter Da Minds Of Sol were located and it was clear that "Suffa Da Consequences" was never released on any format it was clear that this needs to be done in any way possible !!! Pretty tough to come by and even after finding Haak Filmore it doesn´t seemed to be easier as he wanted some serious cash for his last spares too !!! Incredibly dope independent rap shit outta Philly by a group called Da Minds Of Sol !!!
