Leetch 1992 is a fairly strong Norris, Lidstrom 2011 is.... not.

The infamous negative Norris Lidstrom season.

 

[dirtydanglez]

lidstrom won that trophy only by reputation.

 

[tabness]

Leetch to me is the defenseman of the nineties he really deserved almost as much credit as Messier got in 1991-1992

Leetch in a landslide, Lidstrom’s Norris was a lifetime achievement award.

Chara, Weber and even Visnovsky were more deserving.
