Matt Gilroy is King of the World

Or At Least King of Rangers' Rookies

Matty Ice just can't stop getting it done. 

The Rangers announced today that Gilroy is this year's winner of the Sjoberg Award as the best rookie in training camp.  This from the Rangers' Official Website.

"The award is named in tribute to Lars-Erik Sjoberg, one of the first European players to compete professionally in North America and captain of the Winnipeg Jets for six seasons. He later became a European scout for eight years with the Rangers. Sjoberg played a key role in the Rangers drafting of Swedish stars Tomas Sandstrom, Ulf Dahlen, Kjell Samuelsson, and Jan Erixon. He passed away in 1987 and the award was created to honor his memory."
Isn't it just Gilroy's destiny to hoist The Cup sometime very, very soon?
