GDT: NHL Awards 2019 - 5PM ET - NBCSN/Sportsnet

[Machinehead]

Karlsson didnt deserve any votes. Not even a 5th place vote.

But the rest are silly. Is there another bonino om not aware of?

It's just that it's very strange for a player to get that many votes in exactly 5th place and nowhere else.

Best part of the night was Subban looking dejected when the Blues were up there talking about the cup with the cup on stage.

But when it comes to Points/GP, he is more in the league of Jagr, Francis and Yzerman than Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr and even Crosby.

The players in the former group benefited far more from longevity, health, and continuing to play well past their prime. The guys in the latter group did not either by choice, or by injury.

4th in playoff PPG. Really more like 3rd as Barry Pederson only played 30ish games.

Only Gretzky and Lemieux ahead of him in playoff PPG over a large sample size.

Interesting results, thanks for the debate. The results of playoffs PPG really highlight how Messier stepped up when it mattered most.

If you take out Pederson it’s:
1. Gretzky
2. Lemieux
3. Messier
4. Orr
...
14. Sakic
...
38. Jagr
...
47. Yzerman
...
93. Francis

I would still point out who his teammates were for a majority of those games. But it's hard to really to quantify, so it usually just comes down to individual perception. I will point out Jarri Kurri is not far behind at 6th.

Thanks as well for the good debate.

Trotz showing his staff a lot of love and gave them much of the credit. He flew them and their families out to Vegas to share the award and ceremonies. Classy move.

Was McDavid wearing a cord for a belt?

was more like a rope as it did not have either the male or female connections of a chord but yes he was....new fashion statement I suppose...

 

[featherhawk]

the NHL awards are getting worse and worse IMO.

they are trying WAY too hard to make things funny and that results in just plain old CHESSY.

just terrible, worried about players speaking for too long but they spend incredible amounts of time trying to have people be funny which they are really not...

Family friendly G rated comedy generally isn't going to be funny

then stop trying to make it funny, cause its not focus on more of the accomplishments of the nominees and the stories like the Price story and how the hockey community gives back.

It's not getting worse, this is exactly what it's been for years.

what's up with many of the players not wearing socks?

is that also a new fashion trend like macdavids rope belt?

 

[S E P H]

For all the guys whining about Jeopardy guy, the bloke has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Just give him a break, geez.

what's up with many of the players not wearing socks?

Yes, it's big in Europe.

Just bring in Norm MacDonald to MC. He'll take care of it not being funny and he'll likely make the athletes look foolish for going sockless and wearing rope belts.

Funniest sports award show I've ever seen was back in the day when Norm did the espys. There were some offended athletes for sure, Ken Griffey Jr. Looked like he wanted to strangle Norm.
Good times. Glad I didn't watch tonight.

They make no-show socks.

The whole time I was wondering what Norm would be saying.

 

[Weztex]

Anyone else catch the guy saying he won it two times with the CBJ obviously mistaking him for Bob?

I can't be the only one who caught that.

He didn't. He said that Vasilevskiy was the second Russian goalie to win the Vezina after Bobrovsky, who won it two times with the CBJ.

I think I've said this every year lol. The biggest reason is because Norm embraces the cringe and turns it into something even funnier. I remember Jay Mohr kind of tried to do this when he hosted, not giving a f*** about "bombing", but he lacks Norm's charm to pull it off.

The shot at Tampa Bay was actually pretty funny
