Calggary was expected to be good, Regina wasn't. How can Lang be overlooked for this. Who votes for this?

Can I find a way to blame Brent Parker for this?

All teams get a vote.

Clouston is very deserving , it wasn't a snub , the tigers finished ahead of the pats and did so without their top guy ( shinkaruk) for most of the year

And for good reason, the Pats overall in the league are mediocre at best yet you and others seem to think that because the Pats made the playoffs for the first time in 7 or 8 years, the coach and GM should be shoe-ins for awards.

Mediocre? Please explain? The team won 39 games, they won their division and some of those 39 wins were against quality teams (Calgary, Edmonton, Swift Current). This is dumber than Vanstone saying its too bad Parker wasn't around to enjoy this.

Vanstone's article was embarrassing. Parker was the reason they had little success the last 20 years. Good riddance!
