So Dreger was far away in the left field when he twitted that Weber was one of the three finalists ....
If the Habs ever win the Cup and keep filling the Bell, the 9 million becomes almost pocket change for Mr.Molson.

Incredibly proud to have him on our team. He soaks up minutes and the hardest assignments and makes it look like child's play.
I can think of very few goals against that were truly his fault.
I hope he wins it this year, but you never know - Karlsson had a sterling second half and the league isn't gonna vote Price for the Hart, the Vezina, the Lindsey AND give Subban the Norris. Too many Habs.

Congrat P.K, well deserved.
If every season his name is in this short list, we'll have great years ahead

Wow! Really didn't expect him to get nominated but it's very well deserved. He had a hell of a season!
P.K. Subban deserves the Norris Trophy, and here's why habseyesontheprize.com/analysis/2015/… via @HabsEOTP
A pretty compelling argument

Totally deserves the nomination for the season he had. But I'd still take either of the other two nominees and at least 3 other defensemen league-wide instead, given the choice.
I think the voting system itself should favorise Doughty.
2 guys from Eastern Canadian teams COULD split the vote.
Plus the fact Doughty is the poster boy of "good ol' Canadian boy".
The most deserving are EK/PK. I'd give the slight logical edge to Karlsson, but I want Subban to win it, as a Habs fan lol
.
Doughty seems the least deserving of the 3. I hope he doesn't win it...
All in all, very happy Subban got recognition!

It was an unbelievable snub then and it's an unbelievable snub now. I dunno who these clowns are but they have some explaining to do.
The Team Canada fiasco too. Hamhuis, Pietrangelo and JBoohoo over Subban? What a joke.
That said, I think Doughty and Karlsson are superior players in terms of effectiveness but Subban is the more complete athlete.
I really will never understand the hate for this. Babcock put out the best corps he thought based on positions, experience, skill sets, and handedness.
And it wasn't like he was vindicated; that defense corps was possibly the best ever assembled on any team ever in hockey and they even got a bunch of scoring from the back line.
Hockey writers tend to love the "minutes played" argument. Its lead to guys like Suter or Bouwmester getting significantly over-rated as a result.
