He's lucky his competition is weak this year. He shouldn't be a clear favorite by any means imo. The end of his season was no bueno

Didn't Doughty and Keith both get reputation wins?
It was Hedman's to lose...until he lost it when he got hurt and played like a shell of himself for the last month and a half.
It should be interesting
Prior to last 6 weeks of season, Hedman was flirting with being a unanimous winner of the award but the injury tanked his +/- and not sure if he even scored 5 points in his last 12 games or so! That said, with no real clear cut alternative this year, Hedman should get the reputation win. A second Norris cements his HOF career (keeping in mind that players who play down south face a public relations adversity when it comes to appropriate coverage)! Although, not being on national TV a lot late in year may actually help Hedman this time because national media didnt see how bad he really was!
Dude has a Norris and a Smythe, he’s already in the Hall.

It was Hedman's to lose until he got hurt, didn't look good for the last month and a half. Makar missed too many games in a shortened season as well, I could see Fox winning it. People will say "they didn't make playoffs" but that shit don't matter with these awards.
Hedman could win off his reputation as well. Kind of a funny year. I hope he gets it still.

Yes, it absolutely does. The Hart and Norris have never been awarded to any one on non-playoff teams, it's definitely a factor to some voters.

Ah, okay. I was thinking of Karlsson, but he must have won it the year Ottawa went to the ECF?

I think what you remember is that Karlsson had a crazy year in 2016 and finished 2nd in Norris voting. The Senators missed the playoffs that year.
Oh man, I can’t wait until we cheat to get Heddy his second Norris

You have 12 active player discussion threads on the first page, none of them are Hedman, who is the best defenceman on the planet.
I find that weird.

He’s solid no doubt but playing injured and it shows. Not sure he’s the best right now.

The last two series he's been much better than what we saw towards the end of the regular season and the Panthers series. That's all I can really ask for at this point, thank god we have McDonagh as well.
Credit to Victor for gutting it out. Our best option on the PP and still playing like a top pairing Dman who doesn’t have the benefit of a true top 4 partner.
He’s not the Norris god right now, but the Lightning need him and he’s delivering

He's clearly not 100% but he's actually been getting better as the playoffs have rolled along. He seems to be settling in to his game much better now.

It was his to lose tbh, then he got injured and lost it. A damn shame. I was hoping he'd get the reputation title this year, but sadly not.
