Hedman favorite for Norris Trophy

Overwhelming favorite chosen for Vezina Trophy

Barzal favorite in Calder Trophy race

Gallant favorite in Adams race for work with first-year Golden Knights

I think at this point Vasilevskiy is a Vezina lock barring a major meltdown.

If Kucherov is able to recover soon and claim the Hart + Art Ross, and Hedman pulls off a Norris, is that some kinda record?

Taylor Hall deserves all of them.

 

[El Travo]

So let me get this straight;

- Best goalie in the league.
- Best defender in the league.
- Somehow have an MVP?

I understand giving him the TL award for most outstanding player, but not an mvp on a stacked team.

I think "stacked team" is the phrase of the season for HFBoards. Say goodbye generational, we got a new meme.

 

[Ainec]

nice, I'm 4/4 on these calls from 3 months ago

although the Gallant one shouldn't count

How can a player with the best d and best g be more valuable to his team then teams that are 2 pts behind without either.

It makes no sense.

Look at your damn lineup and tell me how it isn't. If you have the best defender and goaltender in the league on top of having Steven f***ing Stamkos, how does Kucherov get the league MVP? He has an incredible cast of players around him that would do good even without him.

Give him the most outstanding player award. Stop treating the Hart/Lindsay award as the same thing. They aren't.

Hart historically goes to the best player (who gets to the playoffs). If there is no clear cut best player then the team situation starts to matter.

Stacked isn't a good word to use considering we drafted all those players. It's not like we built a super team NBA style.

They also like to weigh offensive stats heavily for the Norris and have given the Jack Adams award to "worst-to-first" coaches. Doesn't mean it's right.

 

[Sheva7]

Freddy Andersen for Vezina & Hart
Barzal Calder
Hedman for Norris

 

[RDTBay4]

Sorry to break the news to you, but if the Lightning players keep up their performance they're gonna get a lot of awards.

That's your gripe? Give me a break.

semantics

stacked = lots of (really)good players

it's irrelavant whether they were drafted or not

 

[alg363636]

I think Rinne should be the frontrunner for the Vezina. At the very least there's no reason why Vas would be overwhelmingly the favorite

 

[RickP]

Hedman 7 first-place votes
Subban 6 first-place votes
Doughty 5 first-place votes
Klingberg 1 first-place vote

Pretty close race, it's good to see they didn't all vote for Klingberg only because of his points lead. He can still be a finalist though, he would deserve it, but I'm not sure he deserves it more than the other 3 favorites.

 

[The Joker]

I don't know what happened, but between you and DominicBoltsFan, Tampa Fans look pretty insecure and annoying the last few weeks.

Maybe you should be open for reasonable arguments instead of defending yourselves and your team anytime someone doesn't want to give all the awards to your players.

That's not really the point and I don't know why you are getting so defensive over this "stacked team" argument. It's no different than PIT with the top 3 they have. It's likely none of them would win any hardware even if they had a great season.

Kucherov will probably get the Hart if he keeps this separation with the Art Ross. If someone catches him, I think that will cause voters to look elsewhere considering Stamkos, Hedman, and Vas. It's not an insult to win the Lindsay award.

I can’t believe you’re insulted that people are calling your team stacked.

I wish my team was stacked.

Kucherov is a Hart front runner right now, probably a favorite in many cases. NHL.com says that Vasilevskiy is the Vezina favorite and Hedman is the Norris favorite. I am not really reaching.

If the Lightning are "stacked" how are there 2 teams nipping on our heels for the Atlantic and many teams around the NHL in contention for the President's trophy? Our superstars are carrying the team. I'd argue the other teams are "stacked" and we are top heavy.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Freddie Andersen should be getting more Vezina love, that's for sure. Leafs would be nowhere their position without him being shelled night and night out.

 

[Rob Brown]

Totally agreed.

 

[snipes]

Today I learned being told you have a loaded team is an insult

yep
