I can already see people saying he only won because he was "due".
Congrats to the Hedmonster!
I agree. I remember being so happy when the Islanders took Tavares. VH was the obvious choice with Stamkos on board. VH is an absolute stallion. And he’s gotten better every year, except this year as he has pretty much reached his peak. All that is left is for him to hit the net more often and use the body a little more. But there’s truly not another dman in the league I would take over him.He kind of did. But he was due for good reason.
This doesn't change anything, I know, but it's kind of awesome to now have our D built around an official Norris winner.
If sergachev becomes as great as hedman I will be so happy!I agree. I remember being so happy when the Islanders took Tavares. VH was the obvious choice with Stamkos on board.

Hedman by rights could have won it last year and had been justified. But off the top of my head I can't remember the last defenseman to do it without his team in the postseason.
Take a look at any voting and you'll be wondering what kind of dumbasses are voting them. Someone have Gourde a 1st place vote in the Calder Trophy voting.What idiot gave Hedman a 5th place vote?
To reinforce this point - last season was the like the fourth time in history that 3 Dmen ended up top 20 in scoring. This season, the highest Dman in scoring was 40th.Just because he wasn't as good as he was last year doesn't mean he wasn't the best in the league this year. All three performances from the 2017 finalists would be tops this year.

Maybe I could if I knew even the slightest about baseball.Somebody actually voted against Ken Griffey Jr. for the Baseball HoF. Hell, multiple people voted against Babe Ruth, if you can imagine that.
