That's cause your coach loves Cates and Risto . He is a complete moron and thinks all games should be won 1-0 . Did I mention Tort's is a moron .
Coots Tippet and MM are the true # 1 line but the idiot like F ing them around just to let them know he is in charge .

Amazing that Michkov has 45 points playing for a coach who benches him every other game for no reason and gives him under 12 minutes most nights. Torts is a dinosaur who needs to go away.
Ya the Habs became almost unbeatable then lost 8 of 9.
Can't make stuff like this up.
I'll leave it at that as I'm sure some saner views will prevail here.
That Wolf bet looks quite good but I don't bet, would that $20 bet today pay $500 even if the odds changed going forward?Celebrini still WAY ahead in Vegas...

yes, it uses the odds at the time of the bet. it's like fixed rate utilities, you pay what the rate is when you sign up for your entire contract
That's what I though but as I said I don't gamble.
But if I did the Wolf bet looks good but that's the game suck you in and take your money.

I'm going to repeat that all 4 guys have been great.
And last night Wolf was great as was Hutson who played
almost 25 mins trying to generate something on offence playing
in front of a terrible forward group outside the 1st line ...
but dustin Wolf was impressive

You may have heard of an 18-year old C named Celebrini?

Is he still in the race? Hutson and Wolfe are leading their clubs in playoff races. Celebrini is playing in meaningless, no pressure games.
Celebrini is really good; so is Michkov. But imo the other two are pulling away from the pack.

1. "Leading their clubs in playoff races" -- MoneyPuck says CGY is 26% to make playoffs, MTL 9%.
2. Your opinion disagrees with the broader betting market and most journalists. Celebrini is the favorite still, but Hutson has significantly closed the gap - he's having an amazing season! Michkov's inconsistency and Wolf's being a goalie (fair or not) keep them at long odds to beat out either of Hutson or Celebrini.
3. "But online journalists are dumb, MoneyPuck is dumb, polls of the Professional Writers who vote are dumb, and sports books are dumb!" OK! Then, sure, Hutson is the favorite. Put some money on him and Wolf.

Calgary is currently in a playoff spot. Montreal is within a win. Not too sure how anyone could argue these two clubs are in playoff races.
You’re free to have that opinion for sure, but it’s not the betting or voting reality.
I dont care if im homering, wolf is the favorite to me. This Calgary team is so garbage offensively it hurts my eyes sometime. Its amazing they are in the playoff race when literally dead last in gf at 2.56. they have scored more than 3 goals a game 7 times since oct 13th (16 goals in the first 3 games of the yr, bring total for the season so far to 10 games.....) 7 times they score more than 3 goals in the last 59 games, this team should be battling with the sharks hawks and preds right now if it werent for the goaltending and weegar

Discussion or bitch fight?
You are neither going to convince any fanbase of another contender nor is anyone going to skew the results in the favor of their guy.

I thought the Calder Trophy was an individual award for best rookie season. Not a team award for squeaking into the playoffs.

Of course. But clearly Hutson and Wolfe are leading their respective clubs in meaningful playoff races. Celebrini is playing in games that have no pressure. Imo the voters, who have a good understanding of this, will vote for Hutson and Wolfe.

Like the ones who gave Bedard an overwhelming amount of 1st place votes last year?
You'd be wrong here Celebrini is till the frontrunner.

Apples and oranges. Wolf is playing a major role in Calgary being in a playoff spot. He's the reason Calgary is where it is in the standings. You cant say that about Faber and Minny last year. Faber was Minny's best dman last year but he certainly wasn't their best player and the only reason they were in the playoffs.
So we have now shifted away from cherry-picking individual stats to suggest that player x should win, to making up a new team result-based criterion for awarding the trophy? Skillful internet jousting.
Fun fact: the last three Calder winners were on teams that didn’t make the playoffs-offs.

If Hutson and Wolfe lead their clubs to the playoffs while having comparable statistics to Celebrini, then absolutely the voters should take that into account.
