Stepan got robbed on Selke nomination.

 

[Clowes Line]

No question the Lady Byng will go to either Kane or Datsyuk.

Stepan got robbed on Selke nomination.

I thought Stepan would have been nominated for that... he had alot of good take aways this year.. very smart player...

 

[iamitter]

Surprised no Huberdeau.

 

[Thumpz]

How the hell does Huberdeau not get nominated for the Calder.

 

[OverTheCap]

This is not an accurate list of the nominees, it's the votes of one PHWA member and he posted on this blog:

Posters on here need to do a better job of verifying sources, it's not that hard.

Thank you for actually giving me the link.

Ummmm Huberdeau?

Anyway, congrats to Cally!

 

[Kakko]

Was gonna ask, where the **** is Hubby.

Looks like you guys already did it for me

 

[Nekz]

It would be disgusting if Crosby won the Hart over those guys. I don't see Callahan winning the Lady Byng.

 

[Green Blob*]

When are the Vezina nominations announced, even though we know Hank will be nominated again.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Callahan is not right for the Lady Byng. Sorry.

 

[clmetsfan]

"Gentlemanly play" has never been something that comes to mind when thinking of Callahan, so it makes sense that these are not the actual finalists.

 

[Green Blob*]

And BTW, did anyone else read the thread and say to themselves "WOW Great job Cally! Way to go to be nominated for the Lady Byng!"

Get rid of that award.

Get rid of that award.

It's part of the game's history, so I don't have a problem with it. It should just be something with clearer qualifications to win.

 

[NewLife]

Indeed where the **** his Houberdoeu(?!), guy is a stud.

 

[NYRKING30]

Ovie should be MVP, completely fine if Tavares is MVP too. If the sticks upset the pens, I think youll see JT as the Hart winner.

Hart is regular season. As is every award save for the Conn Smythe.

Yes I know that but you can bet some of the voters take that into consideration.

 

[The Gloaming]

Voting was supposed to have already taken place.

 

[NYRKING30]

Voting was supposed to have already taken place.

I am not sure about that but my best guess would be Ovechkin.

 

[Fataldogg]

This looks like wild speculation based on a sample of votes.

I'm supposed to believe Bobrovsky finished first in Hart voting over Crosby/Ovechkin when he didn't even make the playoffs, and the goaltenders rarely, if ever, win the award?

And as cool as I think it would be for Tavares to win the Hart, I don't see that happening either.

And there is this rookie w/ the Panthers, he's kind of good, scored a beautiful goal against us a few weeks ago, and he isn't even on that list (which I'd have a hard time believing since he lead all rookies in goals).

It looks like B.S.

 

[Green Blob*]

All the voting has been done before the playoffs started. Bill Daly and Bettman know who won all the awards except the Conn Smyth
