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

[Yackiberg8]

This is a regular season award.

People has no clue that voting was before playoffs. And Hedman was fine in regular season.

How is he not norris level when he was last years winner?

It’s a different season, that’s how.

 

[Kegsey]

Tomorrow night Sharks fans will find the Norris and Masterton much more important than anything else hockey related.

Haha so original, good one!

 

[Hellraising Senator]

This is baloney. Karlsson gets jobbed again.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Robbed of what? Did you believe he’d win

I thought he would. He had a great year. I think he had a Norris worthy season for sure.

No problem with him not winning as there were some others who had good years as well. But for him to not even get nominated I think is pretty surprising. I think he got jobbed here.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Always knew Nick Jensen was a top 10 Defenseman!

He's the next David Savard.

 

[Sol]

Lmao. Hedman led his team to 3 ECFs in 4 years and shut down Kane in the SCF. You don't know what you're talking about.

"led". Led them out of the first round as well.

 

[saffronleaf]

Rielly deserved a nomination.

Its spelled Carlson

I don’t think he has a strong case to win.

And I don’t think it’s extremely relevant who is the 3rd finalist

 

[RebuildinVan]

Its Giordano's award this year....doesnt really matter who got robbed of a nomination

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

This is baloney. Karlsson gets jobbed again.

I hope you’re joking. Karlsson didn’t deserve to be in the top-20 for this award.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Rielly really got hosed. Burns, despite the point total, shouldn't be in the top 3. If you ask me, that's just lazy stat-picking by the voting writers who don't stay up to watch West Coast games. He's absolutely terrible defensively, and managed to end up with a +13 rating even with 83 points. That's shameful. John Carlsson should be in before Burns. That said, Gio deserves it by a mile.

Lazy stat picking is exactly what you’re doing by posting +/-. Burns was much better than Rielly or Carlson.

 

[Del Preston]

How does Burns keep getting nominated when he turns over the puck in his own zone multiple times per game...

Voters respect beards.

 

[DRW204]

surprised at no Rielly. i think this is Gio's this year

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

"led". Led them out of the first round as well.

He was injured.

Amazing how much gall you have to have to talk so much trash about other teams as a Kings fan.

 

[Little Psycho]

I want Burns to win just so Doughty can b***** and moan about it again.

Doughty was right lol. Just because you don't like hearing the truth from him doesn't mean he's wrong. If Burns wins it'll prove he was right again.

 

[Sol]

He was injured.

He wasn't doing anything even when he wasn't injured.
Lol cause my team has won two cups in the last ten years. What about your boys? Since when has being a Kings fan something I should be embarrassed as? Lol my team has accomplished a lot. Our core has won two cups what about yours? I'd rather be dead last than be first place with 20 pts over second place, and still get bounced in the first round in an absolutely embarrassing fashion.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

I don’t think he has a strong case to win.

And I don’t think it’s extremely relevant who is the 3rd finalist

I think it's relevant to the players. And I think the best three blueliners should be represented.

Ah so you're stuck in the past while we're in a thread that's talking about this year.

 

[Seanaconda]

Wondering who the last D to score 20 goals and wasn't a finalist for the Norris?

Souray ?

Edit looked up the last time in 15 /16 gio oel and Weber hit 20 and weren't top 3 in votes

 

[unicornpig]

hope it goes to burns just to show how much of a joke this award is.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Ah so you're stuck in the past while we're in a thread that's talking about this year.

That's what you're supposed to do in senior homes. Just ask Carter, Kopitar, Doughty, Brown and the rest of the early retirement crew.

 

[fasterthanlight]

I don't know why everyone hates burns lol he was over PPG and pretty good defensively. Norris sometimes goes to OFD, so what?

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Surprised no Rielly

He's been a stuuuuuuud but Matthews won Calder last year so they probably wanted to cool the awards flow. Good on Gio though, it looks like it's his to lose.
