2016-2017 NHL Awards Voting Results

It's not like he blew Laine away... 5 more points in 9 more games, I can't blame anyone for voting Laine 1st if that's what they think. I'm actually surprised Matthews won by so much, even though he was my pick as well.

This... But yeah Matthews definitely deserved it over Laine, not so sure about Werenski though.

How did Victor Herman get beat by Ovechkin, Matthews and Suter?

Matthews is hella nice, dude is a gentleman, he interviews great, and never says anything mean or chirps, dude just plays the game hard night in and night out.

Frickin John Hynes got a Jack Adams vote last year (from Shero, no doubt),

GMs only vote for the Vezina. Jack Adams is picked by broadcasters, so Shero had nothing to do with it.

There are a lot of stupid votes every year, so 3 votes for Laine is hardly anything to get upset over. Shea Weber got a 1st place Norris vote.

The worst vote that I`ve ever seen?

In 1985, Brian Sutter received a first-place Hart trophy vote over Wayne Gretzky, who scored 208 points. Sutter was a good two-way player of course, but he was only 3rd on his own team in scoring. Sutter only had one more point than Gretzky had goals, and Gretzky also set what was, at the time, the single-season record for assists. (Even more surprisingly, two voters didn`t vote for Gretzky at all that year).

And yet us simpletons are told we should never question the genius of the people who pick these awards since apparently their hockey knowledge vastly surpasses our own.
