Mark Giordano - Does he win the Norris?

[Darth Milbury]

Yes, I realize only one third the season is gone.

But, man, he has been impressive.


The Norris often goes to the defensemen who puts up the most points. But, this guy has excelled in every aspect of the game.

Nope.

This guy might have a chance.

 

[Maplebeasts]

As of now, the answer is yes. The guy has more points than Phil Kessel for crying out loud, and he makes up half of arguably the sexond best D pairing in the NHL (after Weber-Josi). Let's see if he can hold this pace or if he slows down as the games add up

 

[How Ya Drouin]

Well right now he's at PPG so offense won't hold him back in voting.

 

[Classicnamesup]

Terrible spelling of his name aside, if the season ended today he should.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Should he continue to play this well the entire season, yes. That would require a superhuman season though.

 

[1989]

The better question right now: Does he win the Hart or Lindsay?

 

[Frenchy]

Nope.

This guy might have a chance.

I took care of the thread Title , that was just a typo from the OP

Brodie and Giordano are the best pairing, Weber and Josi might be tied for 2nd

 

[Frenchy]

Giordano is having a great season , i think he might be a lock for at least the 3 finalists for the Norris

 

[Stand Witness]

As of now, yes. He clearly has the offensive game and while im not familiar with his defensive game I have never heard any complaints about it so I think this should be an easy yes.

Like others have said if he and the flames keep this up he could be looking bigger imo.

Isn't every hockey analyst saying that Giordano-Brodie is the best pairing in the NHL? Because they were not even 2 weeks ago.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Too early to say

Keith to me looks primed for another run at Norris especially as #1 defender on team that so far has given up fewest goals in NHL

 

[illpucks]

If the season ended today he has the Norris and Hart locked up. But there is still a lot to be played.

my thoughts as well

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I came here to post this. Beat me to it.

This guy plays amazing. I think he should be nominated for team MVP too.

 

[Chojin]

Since when has the Norris been about being the best defenseman? It's either about being the best forward playing at defense or being the defenseman with the deepest team so you rack up assists.

 

[Anglesmith]

I feel like this is really just a continuation of the "Giordano and Brodie the best defensive pairing in the league" discussion.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

If he continues to play this way, he's not just a lock for the Norris but a SERIOUS contender for the Hart trophy this season.

 

[MuffinMerc]

So it's about points? In that case Giordano still gets the Norris.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Looking awfully Norris-worthy.

 

[Avsboy]

Giordano this season
Hedman next

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Right now, Giordano isn’t a candidate. He’s the lock. Not for just the Norris, either.

 

[Machinehead]

Kevin Klein gotta be crawling right down his back tho

 

[Maplebeasts]

Brodie and Giordano are the best pairing, Weber and Josi might be tied for 2nd

The only reason Gio and Brodie aren't number one is because they are less proven to me than the Weber Josi pairing (only in the last 20-30 games have they even been in this discussion). If they can keep this pace up for a while longer, then I will move them up.
