Norris Finalists: Doughty, Hedman, Subban

[cactusjack]

I've just seen the betting odds on mise-o-jeu, a betting service in Quebec.
Hedman 1,40
Subban 3.25
Doughty6.00

I've looked in 2 betting sites in the US and didn't see anything on Norris winner. Is Doughty that underdog?

 

[SenzZen]

cool

give it to doughty

He may deserve it, but the league hates him- as evidenced by his suspension during the playoffs.

 

[glovesave_35]

I hope it's Hedman.

 

[Sasso09]

I would go

Hedman
Doughty
Jones
Carlson
Subban

Was expecting Carlson to be the 3rd nominee though.


Hedman wins

A few years ago at the Olympics {2014}, Subban had just come off the previous year winning the Norris. yet he played just one game. Rode the pine throughout the rest of the round robin plus playoffs.
The Preds get scored upon twice late in the game, the first Subban flops to the ice...for some reason {?}...the second goal he gave up the puck on a horrible give away then gets caught up ice. Did the Preds dare to put him out there to redeem himself and help tie it up with just over a minute left? Nope. He sat. Perhaps worried he might take a shot at his own net. He might as well, then he can claim he is insane.

Should be between doughty and hedman. Can't go wrong with either

Subban still rustling jimmies no matter where he goes. I'm proud of him.

That goal is on the Preds winger that didn't cover the point when Subban vacated. Since no other team gets so much offence from its back end, it should be unwritten that the wingers be on alert for the attacking dman.
Besides, Subban didn't cough up the juicy rebound that resulted in a tap in.

0 pts for Hedman In the first round. Norris finalist? Pfft.

 

[The Macho King]

Hedman was a monster this series. Kucherov got the points - Hedman kept other people from getting points.

This. Hedman had a large defensive impact, per usual. There’s a reason that no Devil besides Hall and Hischier got many 5v5 chances through that series.

Not exactly sure where he’s going with that post, didnt realize norris voting looks at your entire body of work to that point.

 

[Butch 19]

Yeah that's it. They voted after the season ended, but before the playoffs started. They already know who won, but they're keeping it secret until June.

Do you know that to be true?

I would imagine they just hold the ballots until 2 - 3 days before the awards show and count them then.

Subban had no business being down there to begin with. We've watched him for two years and not one single time has ever made anything happen that low. Yeah Hartnell should have covered, but he's slow as Christmas which is even more reason for Subban not to be down there to begin. Josi he ain't.

That goal is one that #17 Hartnell should wear. He's the one who missed covering PK..why do you think he was busting it so hard to get back?
Anyone who thinks it's on PK never played hockey

The 3 finalists are the ones who had the most votes/points (something like 10 points for 1st place, 7 points for 2nd place, 5 points for 3rd place etc... not sure exactly, but it's something along those lines). So I can only assume they already counted all the votes, otherwise they wouldn't know who the finalists are.

Was he? Who covered Taylor hall? The devils only threat?

 

[Goodbahd]

Subban? He’s not even the best D on his team lol! Josi is better by a country mile and everyone knows it. The PK nomination has an obvious political agenda behind it.

Hedman should win this.

Yes. They are finalists because they already tallied the votes and they scored the most points in the voting.

At least for the last game it was stralman-mcD and they were absolutely wonderful together. Hedman was a monster as usual.

I’d do absolutely terrible things to have him on the Rangers.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Honestly its Doughty hands down. Him and Kopitar have been dragging that team to wins kicking and screaming this year. Subban has the top 2 d-core supporting him and Hedman has the top 2 forward corps supporting him. Its Doughty, no discussion needed. This is from someone who is not the biggest fan of the Kings.

 

[MikeK]

Still can't believe MON traded Subban. One of the worst trades in NHL history.

 

[Eisen]

I never actually understood the voting process for this. So the voters have already voted and the winner is already known to the league but they won't release until June at the awards show?

Yeah. It's stupid.

What's the political agenda?
The only one I see are fans that have a racial bias against PK.
He's consistently ranked in the top 5 dman in the NHL year after year - Josi is not in the top 10.
This year he has more goals and points despite being paired with the ineffective Emelin, and being given the tougher defensive assignments.
Not sure where you get your bias from, but I suspect it's the most common PK reason.
