Norris Trophy Finalists: Victor Hedman (TB), Mark Giordano (CGY), and Brent Burns (SJ)

My point is that you have to wear teal colored glasses to think that Burns is not a defensive liability.

So you admit your prior comment about it having nothing to do with point is wrong? Huh, who knew? (spoiler alert, everyone else)

No saying it can have to do with points but because how exceptional the amount is not just whatever D has the most which is what you are claiming...

As we like to call them, the bounced first round trio.

The finalists were Burns/Giordano/Hedman, not Rielly/Giordano/Hedman.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The finalists were Burns/Giordano/Hedman, not Rielly/Giordano/Hedman.

Giordano is still the one that should win.

My point is that anybody who watched tonight's game wouldn't make such a ridiculous statement. The guy leads the playoffs in 5V5 ice time and he's only been out there for 4 goals against at 5V5.

Hedman really had an off season and still het nominated for the Norris.

I will never understand these nominations.

First thing you need to understand is they're not nominated. Any defenceman is eligible to be voted for. The three names here are the top three in votes; the award has already been decided.

Leaf fans can now stop over using
"We have a Norris caliber Defensemen" (Rielly)

Its almost as funny as
"We have 2 selke caliber C's " (Matthews/Kadri) LMAO

The top-3 are he ones viewed as nominees, even the the award it self is already decided.

Burns' defensive IQ well below average.

Burns' defensive IQ well below average.

Ah, just like Erik Karlsson is so badly injured that he shouldn’t be playing, right?

 

[Hoser]

Which is a misnomer that presents a false narrative. Every defenceman in the NHL is "nominated"; the three named are just the top three vote-getters.

 

[Bizz]

Hedman feels like he was just thrown in there so there can be 3 nominees. He has pretty much zero chance of winning.
