Ted Lindsay Award?
Why's the weakest trophy so Lady like..... Seems to me just another example of the NHL being sexist and demeaning women
That he didn't even win it once proves it's a ridiculous trophy. As you said, Lidström was the perfect example of a Lady Byng player, without ridiculing either the trophy or the player.The fact that Lidstrom didn't win the trophy every year he was in the NHL means it's a meaningless trophy.
He's one of the two. Wow only three defenseman ever won the trophy. Lids got close but lost to Sakic.
Cody Ceci is another good candidate.

Who votes for the award anyway?
Or maybe it was Bettman's attempt at creating equality in the NHL by naming an award of ...yeah I got nothing...
The Lady Byng trophy was first awarded in 1925, decades before Bettman was born. It was donated by the wife of the Governor General of Canada. She was a big hockey fan.
The award is for sportsmanship, gentlemanly play and a high level of playing ability. Three defensemen have won it (Red Kelly more than once).
when byng was created, intentionally injuring opponents, especially stars, was common. some of those cases became assault charges and decades before, hockey some players were actually killed by opponents during games.who cares
why is this a trophy?
Wow. Maybe do some research.
