[avalanche_country]

I don’t think dater even has a press pass anymore, probably why he had to hire Frei

Let's see him play like a Norris defender in the biggest game of his life tomorrow.

4 points and a +3 in another blowout win is the only acceptable performance.

Yup, anything less than that we trade him for Quinn Hughes

f*** yeah, but only party poppers for now. Gotta hopefully save the champagne for the main event.

I read this as party poopers and immediately thought of several people on this board

 

[Freudian]

As for people thinking there was some sort of plan to screw with Josi. I like to use Hanlon's Razor.

"never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

 

[Balthazar]

As for people thinking there was some sort of plan to screw with Josi.

Tell them that Josi won the Norris in 2020 with 65 points and that year John Carlson finished with 75 points.

Congrats to Makar.

I think he said the word "obviously" 26 times in his acceptance speech.

Another one of those that has caught my attention is all the players starting their responses to interview questions off with "Yeah I mean". Drinking game of players saying "yeah I mean" and "obviously" everyone would die.

We're adding at least Lehkonens rights and a first rounder to upgrade?

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Let’s hope it’s a Norris, Smyth, Cup season for Makar. That would be one of the all-time great seasons by a defenceman.

Especially considering he’s closing in on Leetch’s single season regular season/playoff point total.

Could he win Smyth even without winning the cup? I think he could. How often that has happened before?

Wonder of they'll give us Demko too for that

Wins the Norris, turns into Ed Sheeran. He can do it all.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Never in doubt

Im happy the voters looked at his entire body of work instead of just the numbers.
When you add in everything he does plus his numbers this should have been no contest.

Cale and Victor in the same room. I would have died if at the end of his speech Cale looked over to Victor and said " and I'll see you tomorrow night "!

Would have been gangsta af lol Cale probably has a bad game tmmrw.

You could do the same drinking game with former players who are now analysts saying "right?" after every sentence.

Kevin "right?" Bieksa makes my ears bleed with that verbal crutch and Glenn Healy isn't far behind.

5 times. Roger Crozier in 66', Glenn Hall in 68', Reggie Leach in 76'. Ron Hextall in 87' and most recently JS Giguere in 03'

 

[Richard88]

So anyways, what's Quinn Hughes up to these days?

 

[Freudian]

5 times. Roger Crozier in 66', Glenn Hall in 68', Reggie Leach in 76'. Ron Hextall in 87' and most recently JS Giguere in 03'

Four of them being goalies.

I think with Kucherov at 26 points, he's a no-brainer for the Conn Smythe if Tampa wins.

 

[Golden Foppa]

Cale and Victor in the same room. I would have died if at the end of his speech Cale looked over to Victor and said " and I'll see you tomorrow night "!

Even better if he looked at him and said, "Polish that Cup for us b****!"

 

[RECKLESS]

Good boy!!

Slurpee's only after the big one though!!

 

[Grigowski]

Ok. No excuses for tonight. It´s your turn, Mr. Cale "Norris" Makar.

Lead us to the promised land.

 

[Vaslof]

Best part is the salty Nashville fans.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

5 times. Roger Crozier in 66', Glenn Hall in 68', Reggie Leach in 76'. Ron Hextall in 87' and most recently JS Giguere in 03'

That Giguere run was something else. I remember feeling bad he didn't win.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Justice, should have also won last year. Thought Josi had this locked up.

Norris is often a reputation award. Now that Makar has won it and is starting to be widely considered the best Dman in the league he should win a bunch of these this decade.
