I don't know about you, but I think he has a shot at the Heisman Trophy for top goal scorer.

It's not just an extra letter, as the following sentence's reference to "that award" and not "the latter" makes clear. And Burnside may know hockey (and how to hate on the Caps), but he didn't write that article - ESPN.com news services (whatever that is) did.
