LOL at Sharks fans bent out of shape over Thornton getting no nomination.
Take a look at Thornton's shorthanded ice time average. How could a player who saw 3 minutes of PK ice time during the entire season is worthy of consideration for an award for the best defensive forward?
Thankfully the voters got this one right, though I figure Kopitar will come short of 1st place votes and they'll just give it to Bergeron, again.
Oh and there's this to add:

Luckily most people like Kopitar so they won't flat out "LOL KOPITAR" him like Quick and Doughty on Friday but looking forward to the bashing anyway.
I think it's Bergeron's. He's deserving too, which is unfortunate for Kopitar who had his best all-around season...but Kesler likely took a large chunk out of Kopi's vote being west coast and all.

Statistically of the three of them, Kopitar really should win it. He ranks higher than them in everything but faceoff numbers and his faceoff numbers weren't poor(so it wasn't really a weakness of his).
Unfortunately for his award prospects he plays too far west.

Meh. I'm sure Bergeron will win it.
Kesler always seems to be the most noticeable player on the ducks, for good and bad reasons. He's a hard working arrogant *******.
Haha, HF mutes everything.

Well, it will be no surprise--if it hasn't happened yet--when, just like with the Karlsson discussions, everything comes back to CF% rel.
Bergeron is amazing and crushes it there, but I'm so sick of that being the be-all and end-all.

I think Bergeron deserves the award. He had an amazing season on a pretty poor team.
Bergeron is a horse for Boston, and they suck without him on the ice. He is the best Defensive forward in the league, gets my vote.

I don't disagree in general but I'm less than thrilled with the now-pervasive mentality that big fish in small ponds are due trophies. People are being steered away from being impressed by great players on great teams because they're on great teams and must therefore be getting carried rather than being a reason for that success.
It's insanely hard to distinguish yourself when you're pushing 60% CF% but the rest of your team is still great at it, for example.

Its A Kingspiracy !
I expect a close vote but Bergeron will always get the easy east coast votes. It's nice for Kopitar to nominated 4 straight years.
