NHL Awards? You mean the 2017 Expansion Draft with extra long commercials.

 

[Plural]

It's today?

I'm interested on the award splits but the show in itself is cringeworthy.

One of the most interesting things is to see how Matthews fares in C all-star voting. McDavid is going to be 1st team all-star and I imagine Sid will be 2nd. But could he possibly snatch a unofficial "3rd team" selection?

My guess:
Hart/Lindsay: McDavid
Norris: Karlsson
Vezina: Bobrovsky
Selke: Bergeron
Calder: Matthews

1st All-star team
Marchand - McDavid - Kane
Karlsson - Burns
Bobrovsky

2nd All-Star team
Ovechkin/Panarin - Crosby - Kucherov
Hedman - Keith
Holtby

 

[Wild-Sabres]

Hart: McDavid
Lindsay: McDavid
Norris: Burns (though I personally would've voted for EK)
Vezina: Bobrovsky
Selke: Bergeron
Calder: Matthews
Lady Byng: Granlund
Jack Adams: Mike Babcock

 

[Sharppi]

Hoping tha Granlund gets Lady Byng and Koivu Selke.

NHL should do 3 All-Star teams anyways.

NHL should do 3 All-Star teams anyways.

Maybe. I wouldn't mind seeing Defensive teams too. Could give the grinders and stay at home defenders a bit of recognition

 

[Snippit]

Are these awards regular season only?

Either way, I think Crosby should take the Lindsay.

Yes. Lindsay voting is done before the season ends or immediately after. I think McDavid will win. It's the players who vote and McDavid was burning them left and right last season.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I just want to see the Vegas draft and know the actual time of release not a drawn out **** show.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Norris: Hedman

Oh wait they never give it to the right guy. I'd give it to karlsson if playoffs counted for this award but they don't

 

[Aladyyn]

Norris: Hedman

Oh wait they never give it to the right guy. I'd give it to karlsson if playoffs counted for this award but they don't

The precedent is: no playoffs = no Norris.

It's just not happening.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

The NHL doesn't formally recognize third-team all-stars, but since they release the full voting results each year, I keep track of it. The summary is here -

[Fugazy]

Hart: McDavid
Lindsay: McDavid
Norris: Karlsson
Vezina: Bobrovsky
Selke: Bergeron
Calder: Matthews
Lady Byng: Granlund
Jack Adams: Mike Babcock

 

[Coach Travis]

Yes. Lindsay voting is done before the season ends or immediately after. I think McDavid will win. It's the players who vote and McDavid was burning them left and right last season.

Crosby scored 14 more goals in 7 fewer games. That might stand out more, especially with how spectacular some of them were (one-handed roof job, banking one off Lundqvist's face).

I also wonder if the fact that Burns is a top 3 candidate means that the Western Conference players split the vote.

 

[Oddbob]

Does anyone know where to watch the awards/expansion draft, if you don't have traditional tv?

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Do we know when is the Vegas draft in all of this ?

 

[Barrie22]

Do we know when is the Vegas draft in all of this ?

Most likely scattered through out the night.

 

[Oddbob]

I wish awards first, then all of the expansion announcements. But I agree with Barrie22, that it will be throughout the night.

 

[Flamingo]

Norris: Hedman

Oh wait they never give it to the right guy. I'd give it to karlsson if playoffs counted for this award but they don't

Karlsson played just as well in the regular season. It's just that he got more attention in the playoffs.

 

[Barrie22]

It makes people watch the entire thing instead of just tuning into the start or the end.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Norris: Hedman

Oh wait they never give it to the right guy. I'd give it to karlsson if playoffs counted for this award but they don't

Hedman is the hipster Norris vote

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Ohhhh.....it's going to be some freaking out today.

 

[Fugazy]

Ohhhh.....it's going to be some freaking out today.

I'm just going to try and keep up with all the roster movement
