Around the League 2017-18 Edition

I just still don't understand how does an organization that dysfunctional get 1 game away from the SCF?

Karlsson was absolutely lights out.

Also that Burrows for Dahlen trade was absolutely awful

Josh Manson received a 4th and a 5th place vote for the Norris.

 

[duxfan1101]

Rakell was 16th in the Lady Byng voting, he even got a 1st place vote from somebody. Corey Perry was unfortunately snubbed for the award this year.

 

[duxfan1101]

Silf received a 4th and 5th place vote for the Selke.

 

[duxfan1101]

Randy Carlyle received 2 2nd place votes for the Jack Adams.

Probably Hayward and Ahlers.

Gibson was 6th in Vezina voting, with a 2nd place ballot and 8 3rd place ballots (Freddy Andersen was 4th).

That's complete and utter BS. Him getting snubbed from a nomination was bad enough, but that kind of reception for a goalie who arguably should have won the award?

*insert expletive-filled rant here*

I wonder if Andersen 4th is a result of Murray. Who else would give him a first place vote?

It's only the GMs who vote, so being on 9 ballots isn't as bad as it sounds. Still very much a snub, but not as bad as one might think.

Meh...9/31 ballots isn't that warm of a reception in my opinion. I'm more focusing on the fact that he didn't only finish behind Vasilevskiy (who had a shitty second half) and Hellebuyck (who benefited from a strong defensive system), but he also finished behind Andersen, for crying out loud. (who was very good behind a defensive system that was just as bad as Gibson's, but was inconsistent -- not Vezina-quality)

I'm just pissed like a kid right now. I'll get over it eventually. Lol

That shows how much even GMs pay attention to the West Coast.

 

[Kalv]

Gibson have injury problems and left many games. Honestly, I don`t see anything bad with Gibson votes.
You can be as good as you want to be, but if you are in the locker room, it doesn`t matter. Gibson for me is the Vezina winner, I love to have him, but I certainly see a logic here

 

[Paul4587]

I just skimmed the Norris results. I’ve never even heard of either guy who gave Manson the 4th/5th place votes this season although one shares the name of our ex backup goalie. I love Josh but anyone thinking he was a top 5 d in the league last year is out to lunch.

Stephens votes were pretty on the money. Hedman, Doughty, Subban, Carlson and Jones. I would have switched Jones and Subban but those are close to what I would have.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Stephens also didn't even vote for Gibson for the all-star team, I wouldn't doubt it if he tries very hard to seem unbiased, which I suppose is nice.

Yeah I didn’t get that. The only knock on Gibson this year imo is that he left a lot of games hurt. But Fleury who only played 46 games and wasn’t as good as Gibson gets a vote?

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Where's all the detail on the votes?

Gibson only played 47 minutes less than Rinne, in pretty much the same number of games.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

How the f*** is Mark Whicker voting on anything? That guy is a f***ing moron.

At least Jen Neale doesn’t have a vote. Imagine that.

Yeah, but at least she actually watches hockey.

His ballot was actually invalidated for the Calder trohpy because he nominated someone who wasn't eligible. So that shows you how wonky this voting BS really is.

Yeah, the guy from Winnipeg screwed up 3 different ballots. Some of these guys should be embarrassed they went public with the votes.
