Or because he's good at hockey?

 

[Fandlauer]

Lifetime achievement award

 

[Tecumseh]

Waiting for the inevitable outrage

Or because he's good at hockey?

nah the hype train was real since mid way through the season. Karlson could of had 100 points and made the playoffs and would of still lost it

 

[K Fleur]

Really expected. A high intangibles per game player.

The Toews of Defenseman.

 

[Brigid1011*]

Good. They saw past all Karllsons points and have it to the correct guy. Congrats

 

[ScaredStreit]

The best defenseman in the league won the award for the the best defenseman in the league. Go figure.

 

[KidLine93]

about time they got it right

 

[aufheben]

Stupid but expected.

Doughty won because he's the better all around defenseman. Guys tops in the league as far as most are concerned.

 

[NikF]

Fitting. He's the best Dman of his generation.

 

[plaidchuck]

So they make a mockery of the trophy for two years and now decide to go old school..

 

[Cor]

Well Deserved.

Seem salty about something....

The award is best defencemen not best forward

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

I don't like it when voters try to "rectify" past decisions. Previous seasons and their outcomes should not matter.

It's like the time Derrick Rose got MVP over LeBron.

Either way, both Doughty and Karlsson are worthy winners.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Good for him. Either could have won it, and I suspect Doughty making the playoffs over Karlsson helped sway the vote a bit.

TIL: Only forwards should be given praise for scoring points.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Stupid but expected.

Yup.

 

[ottawa]

Even as a Habs fan I must say Karlsson got robbed. How do you put up 82pts and lose even with average defense

That'd actually be stupid considering that the norris is an award for an individual player.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Grats to Drew "I know how to play defense" Doughty on winning the award for the best defenseman. Good stuff.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Well Deserved.

Moronic statement.

I guess being able to play a 200 foot game is more important than points? who would have guessed
