With 18 teams in the league, I would expect these to add up to 486 for each position, but other than goalie and center they don't.

Goal: 486
Defense: 932 which is 40 points short
Center: 486
Right Wing: 550 which is 64 over. In the Awards pdf file it gives Rene Robert on the 2nd team with 118 points which would change it to 484 and 2 points short
Left Wing: 498 which is 16 points over

I noticed that too. These numbers were copied from photocopies of newspaper clippings were the small typing is somewhat unreadable in a few spots. I should have of checked them against the PDF file as Robert`s totals there would obviously be more likely.

impressive work everyone!!!

Well it looks like the only major holes in our lists are the all star votes for the pre-1980s. I am going to turn up the heat on the NHL head office and see if I can get some results. It is ridiculous how they are ignoring me.

If I turn it up, like Andy Dufresne with his library funding for Shawshank, perhaps I will get what we need.

Can this thread be stickied? I often find myself digging through the pages to find it. It's one of the best resources ever developed on this board. Kudos to everyone who contributed.

If anyone out there has access to old issues of The Hockey News through their library that would be the best way to fill in the gaps. I`ve checked what I could through newspaper archives, but some years the full results weren`t included.

Pearson? Broadcasters vs Writers? 2 halfs of voting?

this is a fabulous “database†resource! thanks to the puckheads who pulled it off!

as we’re reaching the end of the playing season and approaching the “awards season†maybe you veteran brainiacs can help out the rest of us rookies:

some awards/trophies are non-voting:
Art Ross, Jennings, Crozier, Rocket Richard, +/-, Presidents.

then the Vezina is voted on by the 30 GMs who pick 3 goalies in order – 5 points for 1st pick, 3 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd. I understand that one.

Jack Adams: voted on by “the NHL Broadcasters Association†– how is this different from the “Professional Hockey Writers Association†(who vote on the 6 or 7 other major awards)?

and how many voting members are in each association?
is it 105 or so? or is it half that?
what was this about 1st half / 2nd half voting? do they all get to vote twice a season?

and is it – each member selects whatever 5 players they want, in order, then their 1st pick gets 5 points, 2nd gets 4, and so on?

do all of the Pro Writers also vote on the Conn Smythe? seems to me not all of them do, or maybe I’m wrong about that.

lastly, I notice you don’t list the Pearson, as voted by the players. seems important to me – that the guys who are on the ice all season can probably make a more accurate call than the (albeit smart) armchairs in the pressbox.
does anyone know if this is just one vote per player, or how that one works?
is it all 853 players? plus the 91 goalies who played this season?

I consider the Conn Smythe and the Pearson to be the most prestigious awards in the league. The Conn Smythe because it goes to the playoff MVP, and if you win the Conn Smythe, 90 per cent of the time you also won the Stanley Cup. The Pearson is for the most outstanding player, not the most valuable player (and there is a difference, trust me, just ask Iginla and Theodore), and it is voted on by the players.

But I have never seen a voting breakdown released for either award. Conn Smythe usually has lots of speculation, and several viable candidates, but they usually just announce the winner. An announcement for the three Pearson finalists is made during the spring, and the winner is announced prior to the NHL awards, but I've never seen an exact vote breakdown for the finalists, or all the players who receive consideration.

 

[BM67]

Current 5 place voting is on a 10 - 7 - 5 - 3 - 1 point scale.

Only a small group of Pro Writers get to vote on the Conn Smythe, somewhere around a dozen or so, and I've never seen a vote total for it or the Pearson.

Over the years there have been 3 voters for each of the NHL teams, as last season there were 105 voters there must be some extra "national" voters.

With CP files) - Traded by the Boston Bruins earlier in the season, Joe Thornton responded by winning the Hart Trophy as the NHL's Most Valuable player with the San Jose Sharks.

Thornton won the award over Calgary goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff and New York Rangers forward Jaromir Jagr.

Thornton also captured the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL’s leading scorer with a career-high 125 points (29 goals, 96 assists). He tallied 20 goals and 72 assists in 58 games with San Jose following the November 30 trade from Boston.

"I went into a situation and got a chance to play with some really good players," said Thornton. "I never really changed my game. I'm just playing with some different players, that's all."

McGuire's 2005-06 Monsters
It was the fifth time in the last six seasons that a Canadian won the Hart, which is voted on by members of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association.





Thornton's points total was 1,058. Jagr got 974 Hart points and Kiprusoff was third with 561. Eric Staal of the Carolina Hurricanes was fourth with 121.

"I was a big hockey fan so I would always watch these awards," said Thornton, remarking on the star quality of many of the names on the beautiful Hart. "Just to be mentioned with and to rub elbows with those names is a huge compliment.

"Just to see Wayne (Gretzky) here is a big thrill for myself."

If he had any hard feelings towards the Bruins for trading him, they've been set aside.

"I'm just in a new place playing the same game I always played," he said. "I wish the Bruins all the best."

Kiprusoff still won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender in addition to claiming his first William Jennings Trophy as the goaltender on the club allowing the fewest goals on the season.

Kiprusoff led all goaltenders in goals-against average (2.03) and shutouts (10), ranked second in victories (42), third in save percentage (.923).

Kiprusoff did not attend the gala. He's in Finland so GM-coach Darryl Sutter accepted the trophy on his behalf. Sutter joked that Kiprusoff would like to thank the Flames coaching staff.

Kiprusoff won the Vezina over rookie Henrik Lundqvist and veteran Martin Broduer.

Jagr did not go home empty handed. He won the Lester B. Pearson Award as the "NHL's most outstanding player" as voted by fellow members of the National Hockey League Players' Association.

"With this award, you get voted on by players you play against every night and I think they understand the game better than the media," Jagr said with a laugh.

It was the third Pearson win for Jagr, who also won in 1999 and 2000.

Jagr's 123 points marked the third-highest output of his career, and his 24 power-play goals were a career-best.

Jagr beat out Washington Captials rookie Alexander Ovechkin and Thornton for the honour.

Ovechkin capped a phenomenal freshman season by winning the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL rookie of the year. He beat out perhaps the toughest class in history, topping Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Calgary's Dion Phaneuf.

"I never felt any pressure," Ovechkin said of his amazing first year. "I just enjoyed playing in the NHL, I enjoyed my life. It was my dream being in the best league in the world."

Ovechkin wished Crosby and Phaneuf best of luck in the future and delivered some of his thank yous in Russian.

Just getting nominated was tough enough, with many tremendous rookies pushing for the honour in 2005-2006.

Ovechkin led all rookies in scoring with 106 points (52 goals, 54 assists), became the second rookie in history to tally 50 goals and 100 points in a season (Winnipeg's Teemu Selanne, 1992-93).

He also led the NHL in shots (425), ranked third in points, and tied for third in goals.

Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit Red Wings won his fourth James Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenceman.

Lidstrom has been nominated seven times in the last eight seasons, winning four of the last five times.

He led all defencemen in scoring with a career-high 80 points (16 goals, 64 assists) in 80 games. Lidstronm ranked third in the NHL in ice time per game (28:06), and posted a +21 rating.

Scott Niedermayer of the Anaheim Ducks and Sergei Zubov of the Dallas Stars were also nominated for the Norris.

Lidstrom's contract with Detroit is up.

"We'll see what happens," he said. "I'd like to stay in Detroit.

"I've been there 15 years. If we can work things out, I'd like to stay there. We'll have a meeting while I'm out here and, hopefully, we can get something done."

Rod Brond'Amour, fresh off his Stanley Cup victory with the carolina hurricanes, won the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward. He led all forwards in ice time per game (24:17), led all players in face-offs taken (2,145), and ranked third in face-off winning percentage (59.1%).

"For this award, you have to be on a good team to get nominated," Brind'Amour said. "You look at guys who have won it in the past, there was nobody that finished last that got that award."

He edged Ottawa's Mike Fisher and three-time winner Jere Lehtinen for the honour.

Lindy Ruff was on the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year. He led the Sabres to a 52-24-6 record for 110 points, a 25-point improvement over 2003-04, and set a franchise record for victories in a season. Hired in July, 1997, Ruff holds the longest current tenure among NHL head coaches.

Ruff edged Carolina's Peter Laviolette by one point for the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year, the closest race ever.

"I would trade him that point (in the voting) and take the silver thing he has over there," Ruff said of the Stanley Cup-champion Laviolette. "But it was a tremendous honour to win this.

"It's been 13 years of coaching, some as an assistant. The year we had as a team put me in this position."



Detroit Red Wings' forward Pavel Datsyuk won the Lady Byng Trophy for gentlemanly play. He led the Red Wings in scoring with a career-high 87 points (28 goals, 59 assists). Datsyuk has just 22 minutes in penalties in 75 games.

The other finalists were Patrick Marleau of the San Jose Sharks and 2004 Byng winner Brad Richards of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey went to Anaheim star Teemu Selanne.

Selanne was unable to attend the awards gala because he's in Finland operating a charity hockey school.

"Winning this trophy means a lot to me," Selanne said in a videotaped message.

The King Clancy Memorial Trophy for leadership and humanitarian contribution to his community went to Washington Capitals goaltender Olaf Kolzig.

Kolzig's son, Carson, was diagnosed with autism three years ago.

The veteran goalie established the Carson Kolzig Foundation and, with the help of other players, raises money for the charity to aid others.

Wow, Jack Adams was really close! Personally Lavy was my pick even thought he's not my favorite coach.

Anyone have the vote breakdown for this year's awards yet?

I wrote the NHL asking about the complete results; the response was:

That information is unfortunately not available to the public yet. It will be disclosed by the NHL in the coming days. Sorry for the delay.

Not sure why there`s a delay, since some of the numbers have already been mentioned in articles, but at least they responded to one of my e-mails for a change so I guess that`s something. In the Ottawa Citizen last week they mentioned how Senator players did in the voting, so the top five is evident on a couple of awards:

Hart:
1. J. Thornton 1058
2. J. Jagr 974
3. M. Kiprusoff 561
4. ?????
5. D. Alfredsson 119

It`s a safe bet that Ovechkin was 4th.

Norris:
1. N. Lidstrom 1151
2. S. Niedermayer 817
3. S. Zubov 464
4. Z. Chara 430
5. W. Redden 115

 

[Czech Your Math]

Great stuff!!

This is a great resource, thanks for compiling all this data in one place!

Regarding the Pearson Award, even a list of finalists is useful information IMO.
I started a separate thread to see if anyone has this info, here is what I have found so far (only partial voting for one season):

2006 Jaromir Jagr (Ovechkin, Thornton)
2004 Martin St. Louis (Luongo, Sakic)
2003 Markus Naslund (Forsberg, Thornton)
2002 Jarome Iginla (Burke, Roy)
2001 Joe Sakic (Jagr, Lemieux)
2000 Jaromir Jagr 192 (Bure 159, Pronger 129)
1999 Jaromir Jagr (Hasek, Yashin, Selanne, Joseph)
1998 Dominik Hasek
1997 Dominik Hasek (Kariya, ?)

Note: Voting and order for top three in 2000, not sure if 1999 runners-up in order or not, in no particular order for other seasons.

[Sens Rule]

I heard that Derek Boogard and Brian McGrattan got votes for the Lady Byng trophy the day after the winners were announced. This was in newspapers and must have been true. Yet they are not on the list of Byng vote getters. Did the NHL disallow these votes? I wonder if perhaps this was one of the reasons the total vote getters weren't released until later? Maybe any voters who voted for these 2 got any other votes they made for other trophies disallowed as well?

Anyone know about this?

They wouldn`t disallow the votes. The list above is just the top 20. Usually there`s about 40 or 50 different players that get votes for the Byng and Selke. It would take forever to list them all. It`s also too bad those two writers didn`t take it seriously.

Only two defencemen in the top 18 Hart votegetters. Even in the new NHL, it looks like the writers still won`t give blueliners consideration for MVP.

Unfortunately no, I don't have the all star votes. Sorry.

 

[Randall Graves*]

I have lost respect for the Selke voters. No way should Andy McDonald even get a vote for Selke...meanwhile Samuel Pahlsson, one of the best defensive forwards in the league isn't even in the top 20.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Wow. Vancouver didn't get one single vote for any award last year. Ouch.

Auld at least deserved some Calder concideration... Not even 1 5th place vote...
