Adam Fox wins Norris

[ijuka]

Complete joke, First time Ive ever seen a right winger win the Norris. But why bother watching him play when you can simply look at the box score and add up points. The box score doesn't show Buchnevich and Strome playing his position 3/4 of the time because hes caught up the ice.

It was the right choice. Being healthy matters, and Makar missed 20% of the season. Healthy, I’m quite sure Makar wins it, but it doesn’t matter now.

I don't think Avs fans have to be concerned with Makar. His name will be on the trophy at least once.

 

[The S5]

Eh, I'm not upset by it. He'll get a few, I'm just shocked that it's Adam Fox that won. What the f*** lol

Well, that will give you a reality check into your opinion and player evaluation.

 

[The S5]

only been watching hockey for 25 years, wouldn’t know…

And never been in a locker room or played the game.......so, there's that.

3 more points in 11 more games and somehow wins the Norris lol at the NHL writers.

You’d have a great argument here if the Norris was just a point total award but it’s not and it shouldn’t be, I blame the league/media for allowing it to be perceived as one.

It’s the best DEFENSEman award, if it was solely based on points why would they even bother having a vote at all?

Woah never thought this would actually happen. Damn cool for the kid!

 

[Voight]

Makar 100% wins this had he played a few more games. Man oh man is Fox going to break the bank on his new deal, IIRC Doughty was the last 2nd year player to be nominated for the Norris and he got a huge contract shortly after.

 

[NewLife]

Can't imagine how sour I'd be as a Flames fan

He literally refused to sign with teams other than NY, his hometown. He really dictated where he was going to play. Not really fair, but I guess CAR still got 2 2nds

Get what you coming from but really how can you complain at a young man takes control of his own life. What's not fair really is that NHL players in general have no say regarding their own life until the reach UFA at 26/27

Ok, that makes me feel absolutley nothing.

Rangers can lowball him like crazy.
What’s he gonna do, sign with Calgary?

Lifelong Rangers fan, right? He signs for less money, like Panarin did. Like everyone does in Tampa.

Norris based on 2 months of stellar play. Doubt he'll ever play near the same level of play he did in Feb and March of this year.

 

[Donny 77]

As a Flames fan I'm unable to send my congratulations.

Just forward it through Carolina.

Those poor NHL players that have no choice but to make millions of dollars doing what they love, and sometimes can't do it for the team they were a fan of as a kid! Won't somebody please think of the millionaires!

Of all the awards handed out this year, this is the one that I disagree with the most but what ya going to do.

 

[Conbon]

Lol at what $9.5 mil?

This might test the Maple Leafs theory about a big expensive FA signing ruining a teams salary structure.

 

[Bag Of Beans]

Congrats on not breaking your leg at the end of March.

Aaron Ekblad, do better next year.

 

[beowulf]

Jeff Petry seriously disrespected in voting.

So true, dude is a stud and continues to get better each year.

Maybe the writers based their votes on more than just points.

LFG!!!!

And we had some NYR fans trashing the "wasted" picks involved and how we could have just signed him for free if we waited. Good to see Foxy win. He played his ass off all over the rink for us.

 

[Super Hans]

I was looking forward to seeing Makar go for the Calder > Norris > Hart in first 3 seasons, but this was absolutely the right choice and NYR got a stud in Fox. Good team and superstars on Broadway is good for the NHL, and ESPN (w/ Messier) is going to milk the shit out of it.

he was actually very good in his rookie year and was brilliant all of last year. Not his fault season was only 56 games.
