Norris Trophy Finalists: Victor Hedman (TB), Mark Giordano (CGY), and Brent Burns (SJ)

Ah so you're stuck in the past while we're in a thread that's talking about this year.

Ah yes in the present the Kings core is still much more accomplished than the Lightnings. If you want to get even more recent the Bolts pulled off one of the most embarrassing failures in NHL history.

 

[stator]

Surprised with Hedman and no Reilly. Burns wins it.

Yes they accomplished missing out on a top 2 pick because of the lottery. What a shame that was

 

[TheTwelfth]

Giordano winning is a foregone conclusion at this point.

Surprised Hedman gets top 3 with all missed games. Best defender in the league when healthy atm. Karlsson was another defender who was great in small sample size. I would have though Reilly or Letang would have got top 3 this season

 

[DFF]

I don't know why everyone hates burns lol he was over PPG and pretty good defensively. Norris sometimes goes to OFD, so what?

pretty good defensively? Is that a joke?

 

[vanarchy]

Doughty was right lol. Just because you don't like hearing the truth from him doesn't mean he's wrong. If Burns wins it'll prove he was right again.

You seem just as angry as he is.

 

[DFF]

Didn't know "robbed of a nomination" was even a thing. Being nominated doesn't mean equal playing field among the finalists. They don't reset the votes and let the media vote again among the finalists so I don't see why it even should matter who of Hedman or Reilly are 3rd and 4th.

Yeah, he was robbed of 3rd place lol

 

[fasterthanlight]

pretty good defensively? Is that a joke?

He is pretty good defensively, most of the time. I'd say he's maybe a 4/5D defensively. Solid, but can make a bone-headed play once in a while. He never gets utilized in those situations though.

 

[Little Psycho]

Hmm, i don't know your previous post was the one with the expletives. Think you're the one upset.

 

[Sol]

yes because the lottery picks are performance based. Genius logic.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Reilly could be literally 1 voting point away from 3rd place, and people are acting like it matters. Who the hell remembers 3rd place in Norris voting?

Gio won. That's what matters.

 

[Alwalys]

giordano, burns didn't outscore the narrative.

 

[ccman68]

Victor Hedman should be in the Norris Trophy conversation

 

[TorontoTrades]

Rielly should probably be 2nd in voting but as long as Gio wins it the end result is right anyway.

Disappointing he didnt get the recognition. Feel like Burns and Hedman got a little too much reputation credit this season.

 

[Hellraising Senator]

I hope you’re joking. Karlsson didn’t deserve to be in the top-20 for this award.

Joking, no one jokes about Karlsson. Every year he doesn't win is jokes. Best D man.

 

[Paul4587]

I called the final three. NHL writers got the Norris nominees right for once.

 

[wetcoast]

Don't think Hedman should have a nod, but either way Giordano is winning it.

Pretty much this, the only question is by how much.

 

[wetcoast]

I called the final three. NHL writers got the Norris nominees right for once.

I honestly thought that Morgan Reilly would be the 3rd choice but maybe he finished 4th in voting?

 

[Loosie]

Should be Gio's. Rielly should be the 3rd finalist instead of Hedman.

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Tomorrow night Sharks fans will find the Norris and Masterton much more important than anything else hockey related.

Why? I don't get it.

 

[malton]

Rielly deserved the nod over Hedman this year.

Giordano gets the prize though.

 

[Sky04]

And LAs one of the most embarrassing teams in the league

 

[Little Psycho]

It sometimes happens when you become a two time cup winning team. I do the same thing all over again. Though they can't be more embarrassing than the Lightning getting swept.

 

[PensandCaps]

Letang shoulda got the nod over Hedman.

 

[unicornpig]

And LAs one of the most embarrassing teams in the league

no, that would be tampa. choking year after year with nearly an all star team.

 

[PensandCaps]

Also Rielly wasn't better than letang.

Rielly doesn't play enough mins imo to be considered a Norris canidiate. He isn't a staple on the PK, gets easier minutes compared to other #1Dmen.

Rielly wasn't even top 7.

I'd have Pets over him aswell.
