Without going into a full account of their competition, I'll just say that Niedermayer's win was over Lidstrom in the worst season of Lidstrom's career (at least since he was a young developing player) and Lapointe's 2nd place finish was to prime Bobby Orr.
Niedermayer's 2 10th place finishes were with only a handful of votes, so I almost didn't include them.
