Going with Pronger here. Lidstrom had a good year in 07 but Pronger just had so many other dimensions to his game. I honestly wonder how far he's gonna go in this tournament, I'd say this is one of the strongest Norrises in the tournament tbh
 
This is a good one - two of the best seasons in the tournament. I'm hoping someone can do a deeper dive than "Pronger won the Hart and Lidstrom didn't". (That statement is true, of course, but the top two forwards missed 20+ games each in 2000. That's not to blame Pronger, as it's not his fault that Jagr and Sakic missed time, but I have a tough time imagining him winning the Hart against Crosby, or maybe even Lecavalier).

I guess the first question to ask is was Lidstrom really any better in 06-07 than in 99-00 when he lost pretty convincingly to Pronger?
 
People voting Pronger on this is hilarious, it's the very "NA best" opinion, Pronger at any point of his career wasn't even close to Lidström.
…you do realize who finished 2nd behind Pronger in Norris voting in 2000 right?

....you do realize that Lidström had 6 more goals, 5 more assists, and throughout his career was WAY better defensively than Pronger, who got the award for being big and throwing crosschecks while scoring some points?
 
Always hated Pronger but it's him, he was like a perfect cross of the size and defensive stature of later career Larry Robinson and the nastiness and offensive ability of Denis Potvin, very few D more dominant than he was

Probably my choice to win this entire poll series
