A very close and controversial last Norris win for Lidstrom. Voting wise, i believe its the closest Norris race between 3 candidates (and possibly of any award?).
Here is their vote placements
Lidstrom
1st - 35
2nd - 25
3rd - 35
Weber
1st - 32
2nd - 41
3rd - 14
Chara
1st - 33
2nd - 24
3rd - 24
Even lubomir visnovsky got a lot more support than your typical 4th place finish
1st - 20
2nd - 20
3rd - 24
I think it's pretty much consensus on here that Lidstrom shouldn't have won, but I hear less about who was more deserving between Weber and Chara. Or maybe someone else was deserving? Players like Kris Letang, Drew Doughty and Duncan Keith had pretty solid seasons despite getting no recognition this year. Curious what everyone thinks.
