I imagine Dats will likely win it, but nice to see Bergy get some props...

 

[SLY]

Hope Bergy wins it, but you're probably right. Tough group.

 

[elocomotive]

In Soviet Russia, Selke wins Datsyuk.

Given that Dats missed a decent amount of time and still led the league in takeaways is cool.

I see Bergy winning though...I wouldnt complain if any of them won the award.

I agree. All three are great candidates. Really hope Bergy gets it, he is deserving, like Dash said though, good to see him at least get some props.

I guess Callahan not taking faceoffs really costs him any chance of ever being nominated for in his career

Being a whiny little girl on the ice doesn't help in the court of public opinion either...

One day...Jordan Staal will win this award. Of course Datsyuk may need to retire first. Damn.

Couturier will likely be joining the Selke race within a few years, too...

 

[dboy97]

I want to see Bergy get it.

 

[BF4L]

Of course I want Bergy but that's tough competition

Bergeron should win this, IMO. He's as good a two-way center as you could ask for.

I wouldnt say should...no one can complain if any of those three win it this year. Dats put up crazy numbers in an injury shortened season, Backes was a major part of a HUGE turnaround by the Blues and Bergy is a great two way center.

They are all worthy candidates. I think that Bergeron and Datsyuk are a slight step up from Backes.

I give the nod to Bergeron this year based on durability.

You really can't go wrong with any of the three though.

Youre making me blush :charlie:
