Re: As a Defenseman "I can't get any respect"
Sorry but the OP uses awards to justify respect. If that is the criteria, then you know what other team is not successful? One that has a group of D...or sometimes even just 1 D...who is concerned with winning awards as a means to justify that they are respected.
You know who is successful? A team where the defensemen are appreciated in the locker room and where they play with a chip on their shoulder because other people may not recognize their contribution. Who cares about awards? Who cares if someone on another team or in another city or cheering for another school doesn't respect them and outwardly shower them with praise? If the people in their room do, that is ALL that matters.
