Could burns norris season been a fluke? The guy has started terribly.

Which Team Canada member has the media chose to campaign for a Norris Trophy this year?
Joe Thornton hasn't won it yet. Maybe he can get it over Karlsson if the talking heads push it early enough in the season.
I am so bitter about the Burns Norris. More so than the Doughty one. With the Doughty one, at least he won it based on a very subjective idea which is pure defensive skill. With Burns, the entire push for the Norris was based on the premise that he was producing at a historical rate and might win the Art Ross trophy. Half way through the season, he stopped producing at that rate, and I kid you not he finished with almost the exact P/PG as Karlsson and Hedman (0.01-0.02 difference...aka almost nothing). So his Norris push was based on something objective in production, yet when that production advantage is nullified by the end of the season, he still wins the Norris. It made no sense.
You got it wrong.. the Norris is now a who is missing teeth with a beard award.
Karlsson is way too clean for that award. Beautiful long hair, all his teeth, perfect style.
So what you're telling me is all that Borowiecki has to do to finally get the recognition he deserves is grow a beard?

Great fact checkers at TSN...
They updated it! To 2-0-3 damn tsnGreat fact checkers at TSN...
"The Senators are 1-0-3 to start the season"
That would still be wrong though.They updated it! To 2-0-3 damn tsn
probably notFor fantasy hockey, is it worth it to pick up Chris Wideman even though Karlsson is almost back?
There's no guarantee that Wideman will stick in the starting lineup when Karlsson returns, so I'd stay away.For fantasy hockey, is it worth it to pick up Chris Wideman even though Karlsson is almost back?

Lol pretty sure his laughing smileys were telling us this already.

Doug Mclean was ranting a bit about Hedman the other nightHas the media pushed any narratives yet for early Norris candidates?

https://www.silversevensens.com/201...phy-is-erik-karlssons-to-lose-ottawa-senatorsHerman seemed to be the consensus pick going into the season from most news outlets.
He definitely had the early advantage from sports writers (who, let's remember, are the ones who vote on the award) who want to be proven correct.

"The NHL has developed a recent tradition of crowning the Norris Trophy winner (for best defenceman) before the season starts. "
Not sure this is on the NHL per say but it is really foobared to me for the reporters/taling heads to have a leading candidate for a significant trophy before 1 regular season game is played. I can understand looking at a few players and saying they all could vie for the award ...
I am actually just starting to think its because Karlsson plays for Ottawa and most of the media resides in Toronto. Its not a Karlsson thing or a Canadian thing or a Swedish thing. They just cant stand giving Ottawa credit for anything, last years playoff reporting was obvious enough. The negativity about the attendance comes from Toronto, the anti Sens this season based on advanced stats came from Toronto media outlets.
