Oh the salt from Toronto fans is going to be delicious.

This salvages the offseason in my book.

Basically- if we cant win the Cup, pissing off Toronto isn't a bad backup.

 

[JoVel]

Holy shit some people will be pissed.

 

[Todd1a]

Lol after we got swept we could have hedman with the Norris and Kucherov with the hart and art ross and Vasy with the vezina lol

 

[DFC]

Hedman's lucky because he's not gonna win. Kuch and Vasy envy him right now.

Worse will be if Cooper wins the Adams.

Made only more delicious if they blow Game 7 to Boston again.

No kidding, imagine giving a speech after that performance - especially on the Adams.

Hedman as a finalist is hilarious, I bet he got a ton of 2nd/3rd place votes from Toronto voters throwing off Burns and Gio while other voters did the same.

Yeah, that sort of shows how much reputation plays a part in the award, so long as somebody has the numbers to be in the conversation. It's arguable whether or not Hedman had a better year than McDonagh. It felt like he spent the year in cruise control, gearing up for the playoffs, but then the untimely injury took that opportunity away.

Hedman on an off year is better than Toronto's best. How lovely.

It may be inaccurate but how lovely. Lmao.

Spin it any way you want

Edit: I just noticed Rielly had 72 points too LOL

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Not one of Hedman's best seasons yet he still is a finalist...

 

[ccman68]

There are a few players who could’ve had the nomination but I feel like Hedman is plenty worthy as well. Rielly might be the worst defensive D in the league and had an unsustainable offensive year so him not being nominated should not be a surprise.

Piece in the athletic today about Tampas all time team. Here's what Bill Bradley had to say about Hedman:

He might go down as the greatest player to ever play here, maybe beat Marty one day,” Bradley said. “He’s that player that you’ll never (bleeping) see again. He does everything so well. You can sit here and say, ‘What happened in the playoffs?’ To me, what happened is we lost our (bleeping) best player. Our best player is Hedman. He wasn’t good for the first two games (dealing with an upper-body injury) and we didn’t recoup after that.

[LightningStrikes]

7 points in his last two games.

So pissed I didn't draft him in my fantasy league

 

[The Gongshow]

I had to take Carlsson as my first D and was planning on getting Heddy the next round, but he was gone

I took Carlson and Karlsson back-to-back with my 2nd and 3rd rounder, speculating that EK65 would have done great things this season. Boy oh boy was I wrong

[Master P]

Good for Heddy

 

[Shoresy Snipes]

NHL 1st Star of the Week.

Atta boy Heddy

 

[LightningStrikes]

Norris God

 

[DFC]

When you take the entirety of his game into account... He really might be the best in the league, especially now that Karlsson's not really Karlsson anymore.

 

[Hoek]

Well deserved for Heddy.

 

[Boltswin]

I think he is the best blend of offense and defense
